Is it a teaser for a new song, Baby Got Mac, or a new movie, Babies In A MacBook? Nope, just a new MacBook display illusion. MacBook display optical illusions are by no reach of the imagination a new phenomenon, though this specific one is. The nameless baby looks as though he is stuck in a MacBook, reaching with all of his rosy-cheeked glee to get out of the screen. “Pleaze help mez!” — Andrew Dobrow

Help! My clock is sinking!

Not to be insensitive, but this clock kinda reminds me of the Titanic. Which makes me giggle because I instantly think about the movie, when is Leo freezing to death just so Kate Winslet wouldn’t get a little chill to her fat ass. Now that’s one devout asshole. The Sinking Clock concept gives the illusion that your digital time piece is falling through your table.

The clock remains half buried into your table for all to admire and is sure to garner some second glances. Just note that your should not put it in water, the sinking effect will turn into fireworks. — Andrew Dobrow

The magical suspended in air Towel Rack

Filed under: Design, Household

Bath towel racks are a dime a dozen. Your standard towel rack is a metal rod attached to a wall which a towel can be lazily thrown on. Here is a rack that is similar to other new gadgets which seem like they are in danger of falling in front of your eyes. Umbra has just launched this new shelf design, which should drop the jaws open on those who are expecting to see the towels to continue their descent. The rack gives the towels that often sought out “defying physics” look.
The rack inconspicuously hides mounted on the wall and discreetly fits into the fold of your towels, creating the illusion of suspension. Very cool piece of design here. — Andrew Dobrow
