I’m not sure why you would lug around an entire bookshelf when you could just throw all of the books on an e-reader and carry around an entire library in your pocket. Maybe that’s the “conceptual” point. Fighting the power! Or something like that.
The transportable bookshelf is made using crates originally used to haul fruit. I love, love, love books, but I think in this case I’d prefer the fruit. Plus, I didn’t have any breakfast this morning.
Anthony is the man. Not just because he’s an avid Gearfuse reader, but because he designed this badass skateboard deck called Fruit. The entire thing is wrapped in fruit, giving a your board a fresh new look in a world full of World Industries and Element. The best part is that although extremely limited, you can still get your paws on one of Anthony’s boards for only $65. A small price to pay for an original deck.

What… they couldn’t find enough chinchillas? They had to resort to slaughtering poor, defenseless vegetables for the sake of fashion? Make them out of alligator, fox, or hell, even human, but leave the vegetables alone! Think about their families!
The French gallery “Le goût de Luxe,” or Taste of Luxury, integrates edible edibles, mostly fruits and vegetables, into fashionable products. Check out some artichoke and raspberry carnage after the jump.
Why is it that women just can’t resist tainted fruit? First, Eve came along and fucked up immortality for the whole human race (thanks a lot, Satan), and then Snow White, for some reason, thought some random apple from a poorly disguised farmer would be totally wholesome and delicious. I think the lesson we’ve learned here is never to accept fruit from cartoon characters or serpents.
With that womanly weakness for fruit in mind, this Apple Macbook case mod ingeniously uses Apple’s iconic logo to incorporate the symbol of the ultimate female temptation, a ripe and supple pair of shoes piece of fruit.
If you’re not familiar with Miracle Fruit, allow me to enlighten you. It’s a small, red berry that turns your taste buds up a notch. Sour things will taste sweet and sweet things will taste insanely sweet. Normally, these berries are a rare find in the US and the few Internet retailers that carry them are backordered like a motherfucker. Solution? ThinkGeek.
Unlike other retailers, ThinkGeek is only backordered until next week. But these Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets are essentially a powdered form of the fruit. No more worrying about the freshness of the berries. Just pop one in your mouth and let the fun begin. At $20 for 10 tablets, it’s not the cheapest fun around but it’s way better than a $100 minimum order. Try eating your own excrement and see if it tastes like peanut butter ice cream!
Whoever designed this watermelon-shaped bus stop is a genius. What better way to celebrate a shitty 9-to-5 commute than with a piece of delicious watermelon. Know what I hate though? When people put gashes and all kind of shit in watermelons. All you gotta do is take a slice, like this gentleman did, and eat it.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out and bought fresh fruit, only to have it mold by sitting in my refrigerator’s crisper drawer. It’s both a waste of food and money and can be quite frustrating at times. This is where BLUE enters the picture.
BLUE will cleanse your fruits through emitting a special light that kills bacteria on the skin of your pears, peaches and other delicious delicacies (a process known as Action Fresh Blue technology.) A beautiful blue ambient light glows when the device is on and cleansing your food. BLUE comes with a charger and a removable bowl that you can easily clean. After the jump, a collage showing how BLUE works:

I won’t be able to check out GTA IV until later tonight, but apparently, if you venture into an Internet cafe and explore around the private network the Rockstar crew has set up, you’ll find a page poking fun at everyone’s favorite company.
Instead of Apple, you see Fruit. And yes, it implies two things. That you are gay because you use Apple products and that you are a snob. While both aren’t necessarily true for every Mac user out there, it’s still a fun jab at the corporate world. After all, would you expect any less from the guys who let you fuck hookers in cabs? Didn’t think so.
Love the banana-shaped iPhone.
A banana is the best fruit for lazy people, you don’t have to wash it and you don’t need any tools to peel the skin. The annoying thing about bananas is that they’re so prone to bruising. Even the slightest bump can turn your banana dark, you won’t always be able to pick that up from the outside, but give it a couple of days and it’ll turn nasty. With that in mind, somebody invented the Banana Guard, now with version 2.0- improvements! The shape can now fit more bananas with normal variation, the hinges the locks are all re-designed to be more secure. The banana guard sells for around 7USD and is available in most parts of the world, you can check out the local availability at their website. — Sam Chan
