We were pretty psyched to get an early peek at the R2D2 mailboxes that the USPS distributed through the U.S. to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the series, along with Star Wars themed postage stamps. Some creative Flickr user decided to make the best of the themed boxes and scored some interestingness points on Flickr because of it. Sheer genius! ...

The only people that will probably be passengers for the new 787 business jet are the same people that can afford BMW’s automobiles. Meaning, not me. Most likely not you either. But honestly, I envy those guys. They get to travel around and see the world, all in the luxury of BMW beauty. The BMW 787 will contain white leather ...

  Child labor wasn’t what the designer had in mind, but how could that not be referenced? The Barbie doll duster looks like any other Barbie doll that might be wearing a long yellow dress. The dress on this blond is not a dress at all, but actually a feather duster. We think what they were going for was some ...

Let’s be honest. If you live in the suburbs or the city, there is no way that you like everyone who lives around you. Maybe they are constantly screaming or having their dog outside barking. You figure the dog has to shut up sometime, but it never does. Using piezoelectric patches, these specially designed windows cancel outside noise. The way ...

The iArtifact project is a design concept that is attempting to take on the extent of Apple fandom with a twist of the extreme. The iPod earbud earrings are kinda cool looking, but whats the point? Why not just buy your own pair of earbuds for a buck, cut them, and paint them silver? Also included in the iArtifcat project ...

This spider robot looks a lot scarier than it really is. In fact, it might save your life. The Ellos RescueBot is designed to reach untraversable areas where humans can’t squeeze their meager two legs into, sort of like the Amoeba Bot. The damage resistant robot is a perfect example of Asimov’s laws of robotics. It saves you without getting ...

Hey, hockey fans. Want a cool way to clean without feeling like a little bitch? Check out this hockey-themed cleaning gear made especially for people like you. The storage bin, vacuum, broom hockey cleaning gear is a design concept for the maid in all of us. I would much prefer sweeping my garbage with a hockey stick look-alike than with ...

This concept was found with no information other than the picture that was provided with it. But dammit it looks cool. The concept seems like a totally new take on the slide phone. Instead of a typical linear slide, this concept spins in a circular motion to reveal the buttons. A totally new take on the trendy sliders. — Andrew ...

Now here is a cool concept. Do you know anyone who doesn’t enjoy a rousing game of ping pong? We don’t either. The Ping Pong Door brings people together instead of separating them as a barrier. The door works by having a center panel that can fold down flat to create a ping pong surface, while still maintaining the intact ...

This, my friends, is very sadly not a real product. Although we hope that the coverage of the design gets enough press so that it DOES become an actual product. This Spongebob USB drive looks like any other old drive. That is, until it’s full of data. When the drive is full of your data, the Spongebob case expands into ...
