Facebook. Twitter. What do they have in common? Not only are they two of the most popular and fastest growing social sites on the net, but they also ask people a very simple question. They both want to know what you are doing. What’s on your mind?

Conserving Space With The Spherical Mobile Office

Globus is just one big ball of productivity. Closed, it acts as a piece of spherical art, drawing curious onlookers to scope out the design. When opened, Globus reveals that it holds a pull-out office, complete with a laptop tray and spherical seat. We know that this is only a concept, but we have to say that the ergonomics of this thing definitely look like they need some work. I picture my back being stiff for a week after one...

Captain Obvious, reporting for duty sir! A new study released shows that having a larger computer screen can increase efficiency and productivity compared to smaller screens. Well, you don’t say?
