While we've seen concept designs recently really focus on helping the environment in one fashion or another, we haven't seen many that actually focus on two separate causes at once, and aim to fix both of them with one device. The Biolamp concept design is meant to not only clean the air, but also fuel eco cars. The design implements solar energy, as well as the usage of a specialized liquid to make the magic happen.

, Jan 17th 2011 Discuss [3]

François Vogel is a visual artist that hates 3D. And while the debate about 3D being the next step of entertainment is still a hotly-debated topic, the consensus that most people don't want to wear 3D glasses to watch 3D entertainment seems pretty straight forward: they don't want to wear them. Vogel doesn't want to wear them, either, and so he's created a gadget that gets around the glasses by actually syncing your blinks to a monitor. The device attaches to the sides of your eyes, and then makes you blink when necessary. Read The Full Story

Hot Wheels have been around for a long, long time, but it's one toy that hasn't managed to get upgraded all that much over the years.

This wouldn't be the first time that a scientist, and a relatively huge team, have tried to bring back an extinct animal.

BlackBerry PlayBook is a Great Standalone Tablet, RIM Senior Product Manager Says

, Jan 17th 2011 Discuss [1]

As far as tablets go, not many of them have been designed to be an out-right extension of a smaller device, like a smartphone. Many manufacturers have brought them to market to stand as their own device, unhindered by the necessity of being tethered to another device to have primary functions. For the BlackBerry PlayBook, the first tablet device from Research In Motion (RIM), one of the major complaints about the device is the requirement that it be connected to a BlackBerry smartphone for some features to function.

, Jan 17th 2011 Discuss [0]

Right now, the current state of magazine subscriptions, or lack there of, is a pressing matter for major publishers making their magazines and other periodicals available through Apple's App Store for download. While sales for magazines started off well, it's been noted that their sales are starting to drop off, and the fact that there's no recurring subscription pricing available for these periodicals is being attributed as the main cause. But now that The Daily --the iPad-specific daily periodical from News Corp.-- is being rumored to be delayed because of the recurring application subscription feature, publishers are starting to wonder when they will be able to utilize the same feature.

, Jan 17th 2011 Discuss [5]

Combining devices, gadgets, or ideas into one useful object is something that more companies should try and implement. Of course, getting the idea out of the concept stage is tough, especially if you're a designer that hasn't been picked up by a huge company.

Obviously for Steven Paul Archer, he didn't get that memo. Archer has been recently charged with felony burglary, after he had managed to get into an empty storefront next to a GameStop, and then dig his way through the connecting wall and into the videogame retail store where he subsequently stole quite a bit of merchandise.
