From the land of seppuku and movies like Ichi the Killer comes the destruction of this not yet 2 day old iMac. The beautiful 20-incher gets gutted, face first, and by the end, we know something new: The LCD is made by LG Philips, specifically a LM201WE3. Was it worth it, fellas? I suppose, for […]
This design concept for a juicer by Gibli Ortal is quite beautiful, but perhaps its creator didn’t realize that it might end up in a rather precarious location.

Apple may have just brought their first touchscreen phone to the market, but here is the original rendition of an Apple phone from 1983.

Send in the iPhone clones, and this one is the most blatant ripoff we’ve seen yet, even more so than the Meizu MiniOne. Seen on a Chinese auction site, this one touts itself as being “more formidable than the iPhone,” calling itself the “Love Feng Mobile Phone.” It’s just the kind of cheap knockoff […]
Samsung today announced its new i85 camera too, which includes a personal media player to really make use of its big 3″ touchscreen LCD.
