Designer Karim Rashid has done some pretty notable works in the past, among them include the Clicquot Loveseat, Globalight and the outstanding Sphera Bed, and he has not left the "relaxing" theme that revolves around his furniture design this time round with the NV adjustable sleep system. While what you see is but a rendering at this point in time, the finished product will feature a high gloss finish, drawers for storage under the bed and in the headboard, the all essential iPod docking station and cabinet doors in the headboard which can swing out for impromptu side tables. Sounds like one of those posh luxury beds that will require a few years' worth of the working man's salary to bring home...best not jump on this lest it breaks.


The Yogen is a little power generator that uses your pulling action to generate electricity. The break-through in manpowered charging performance of the YoGen® accomplish by pulling the included cord and transfers the linear kinetic energy generated by the pull cord to the flywheel-enhanced rotary motion of the alternator itself. So the next time you travel some where don’t bring extra battery, bring one of this and you will have unlimited power.

By adding a signal chain to the classic electric axe, the Internal Combustion Guitar takes the tone generated by a small amp and sends it on back to the guitar, where something called a "coupling mechanism" feeds the sound back to your strings -- much the same way that standing in front of an amp will cause the guitar to feedback into its pickups. Use the throttle to control how much righteous color comes through, or use the (optional) MIDI pickup to rock out virtually. Prices start at a cool $2,450 -- including medium gauge strings and an Extreme Gig Bag. Not convinced? Catch Woody B after the break.


I remember back in the days when I was still a wee lad who's wet behind my ears, I used to have rubber band fights with the rest of the gang during class. Those were fun days - at least not until my mates and I were hauled up to the principal's office, only to receive a hiding from my old man back at home. If only I had the Metal Rubber Band Gun back then - nobody would want to go up against me (or my team), as this stainless steel projectile shooter is able to store up to 12 rubber bands at once, with an infrared sight and light sight to help you aim better.


It's admittedly difficult to take a company named Thrustmaster seriously (especially on casual Friday), but given that it has recently pumped out what are likely the two best Wiimote accessories of all time, we'll give it a pass this go 'round. Speaking of, we'd like to point out that these two have been around the block a time or two, but that doesn't make the red and blue dueling Glow Sabers (each packing 17 LEDs, mind you) and the Dual Trigger Gun (complete with Nunchuck holster!) any less gnarly. The Glow Saber 2-pack is available right about now for $34.99, while the Dual Trigger Gun (shown after the break) should land in short order for $17.99.


Anybody can say they're going to shell out for a Knight Rider GPS pre-order, but when the house party dies down and everyone peaces out, who actually keeps that order alive? For you, dedicated K.I.T.T. fan, your moment in the sun has arrived, as Mio's legendary Knight Rider GPS is finally shipping within one to two business days. William Daniels is calling -- are you tuned in?


Whoa, whoa -- what's this? A fresh report from Nikkei is pretty confidently talking about a new Nintendo DS destined to hit "within the year," though we aren't claiming to be full-fledged believers just yet. To be fair, this isn't the first we've heard of such a beast, though the translated description is pretty far out there. For instance, the new model will reportedly boast a camera that will be used heavily for games and offer a stronger wireless signal. Even crazier is the bit about "competing with cellular phones" and "exceeding the frame of the game industry." The article mentions that the device will eventually ship for 20,000 ($189) or less, though it doesn't say what kind of sauce the author hit before writing commenced.


DARPA's Super-Resolution Vision System (SRVS) may not be as cool as the threat-sensing binoculars we saw a while back, but it may prove a little more practical. The prototype scope takes advantage of something called "atmospheric turbulence-generated micro-lensing" to provide three times the resolution of current diffraction-based scopes. In other words, if soldiers can see you more clearly, they can make an informed decision on whether or not to shoot you.


Given how large the green bandwagon has become, it's no real shock to see an energy-saving concept from the 1930s being exhumed and investigated further. Scientists at Oxford University have begun to take a closer look at an early invention from the great Albert Einstein in order to hopefully create refrigerators (and appliances in general) that could be used completely without electricity. Back in the day, Sir Albert created a mechanism that had no moving parts and used only pressurized gases to keep things chilly. Once compressors became more efficient in the 50s, however, the idea was tossed aside. Now, the idea obviously has greater appeal, and if things keep humming along nicely, a completed prototype should be erected by the year's end.


Black & Decker are famous for their line of power tools, and the new 5 Sheet Crosscut Studio Shredder is a paper shredder that looks absolutely stunning. The 4" form factor makes it a snap to carry around, making it a snap to fit in just about anywhere. There are sliding feet to help it stabilize so that it doesn't topple over no matter where you place it. Choose from red or black colors, as the Studio Shredder will retail for $49.99. The downside? Its ability to only shred 5 sheets of paper at once


Fancy a new Sony Reader? Looks like one is up on the horizon, but as to whether this is just a new color or a totally new model altogether is up for debate. After all, spy shots and leaked photos are meant to churn up the rumor mill, right? What do you think of this red Sony Reader - is it a totally new model, or is it just another color sprayed over?


Solar power is the way to go, and these portable Solar Stik panels look set to become all the rage as it not only harvests electricity from the harsh rays of our sun, it also boasts a wind generator that makes it suitable for use be it on land or over water. The Solar Stik Marine is meant for use on boats, featuring a different mount configuration while the Solar Stik 100 Terra and Pro-Series Solar Stik Breeze combine both solar and wind power generation. The Solar Stik is able to produce an average maximum daily power production of around 80 Amp-hours, more than enough to replace a traditional fossil-fuel power generator under certain conditions. Prices start from $5,000 upwards, so it will be a while before these catch on.


The Walkstation is a unique office/home addition that will help you get some work done as well as sweat out the day's frustrations. It might sound rather awkward to think that one can concentrate on crunching numbers while walking, but apparently advocates of the Walkstation claim otherwise. In fact, they're so bold as to say that concentration levels increase while walking 1 to 2 miles per hour, so imagine walking for the entire day at the office while working - not only will you shed enough weight to reignite your love life back home, productivity increases for bonuses all around. Not only that, the deodorant industry will also benefit as office workers scramble to purchase these, applying them liberally before heading off to work. The Walkstation will retail for $4,000 a pop.


Word has it that the upcoming Vaio TZ series will be known as TT, with more information to roll out tomorrow. The TT series is touted to arrive in Europe within a month's time, and specific model numbers from this unreleased series will include PCG-4Q1L, PCG-4Q3L, and PCG-4Q4L. Confirmed features comprise of WiFi connectivity (even draft-N), EV-DO and Bluetooth support. Anyone out for a new notebook?


We'll warn you in advance, this is only for those who dig the weird, all things Stephen Hawking or clock-making in general. This £1 million ($1.83 million) timepiece took seven years to completely construct, and the initiative was led by inventor John Taylor who designed it in tribute to John Harrison (only the world's greatest clockmaker, it's said). The bizarre Corpus Clock visually explains that it relies on grasshopper escapement to function, and to let you know that time can never be regained once lost, that beast on top actually gobbles down time every 60th second. Oh, and every hour, on the hour, the sound of a "chain dropping into a wooden coffin" is played to really pound home the "time is a destroyer" concept. Thanks for the reminder, Dr. Grim.


Now that you've all grown up, how many of you still have your Lazer Tag toys in the basement? I know that these were the rage back in the heydays of the NES, as it allowed you and your friends to run around the yard while pretending to be in a shootout between cops-and-robbers or Imperial Stormtroopers-and-Han Solo, whichever floats your boat. Fast forward to the 21st century and you have the Lazer Tag Multiplayer Battle System which features Phoenix LTC guns complete with rumble, recoil and manual reload, while shot blast attachment lets you tag multiple targets simultaneously and Pinpoint Sight helps you aim better. Perfect to geek out with all your Halo references during gameplay. $80 to help you get a tan? I'll take a couple.


The iRex Reader 1000 is due to make its debut later next Monday, at least that's what Forbes claims. I hope that this will be a substantial improvement over the regular iLiad e-reader. iRex has its sights set on business users with the new Reader 1000 that features a 10.2" display which is compatible with a wide variety of formats, including popular ones like PDF, Word and HTML-rendered documents. Folks looking forward to video and color will be disappointed though, but you do have the advantage of a touch screen display that allows you to make impromptu notes and markups. The iRex Reader 1000 is able to last for up to 80 hours on a single charge, and iRex is expected to charge a whopping $650 for this, while the writable screen model will cost another $100. Those who want more power can opt for the model that has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity for $850. Nuts!


HP might be more famous when it comes to notebooks, desktops and printers, but that doesn't mean they can't come up with other kinds of devices. This time round we have the HP 8" digital picture frame that allows you to view both photos as well as videos sans a computer. It supports audio playback as well, but don't expect the

built-in stereo speakers to bring down the house though. Seriously, anything without a subwoofer of some sort just doesn't quite make the cut these days. Each HP 8" digital picture frame comes with a remote control that lets you live up the couch potato lifestyle to the maximum. It comes with a multi-memory card reader to augment the 128MB internal memory, clock and calendar functions. You can pick this puppy up for $150


Adam Brodowski has come up with the three part Sook Cut concept which is capable of whipping up lip-smacking meals out of various ingredients which you have absolutely no idea on how to combine them tastefully. The cutting board, known as the Sook Cut, features a moisture sensor, scale and electronic tongue that is able to determine the type of food being prepared, relaying relevant information to Sook Touch that will refer to its database to conjure a new recipe. This recipe details all the nutritional information as well as the recipe, and you are able to touch and drag ingredients to concoct your own creation on the spot, saving it up for future reference. As for the Sook Dock, this RFID scanner will know what foods are located nearby, adding them to the Sook Touch database.
