If Leonardo da Vinci had taken a page out of Steve Jobs’s book and decided to design computer hardware for a living, his designs would have probably looked something like this. We’ve already seen what the iPhone would have looked like through da Vinci’s eyes, and even his rendition of Super Mario Bros., but the iSteam Mac design reveals da ...

Designer Carl Archambeault (we know, quite a mouthful) posted this excellent Xbox 360 portable gaming system he’s calling the Xbox 1080. The handheld would offer gaming, music, video, pretty much all the media offered by your current Xbox except all small enough to fit in your pocket.

Designed by the same fortune teller who created this Xbox 720 concept, Tai Chiem’s next target is the Playstation 4, the potential next gen console for Sony and the sequel for the PS3. Much like the Xbox 360, the PS3 still has a few more years of life left in its lifespan of relevency. In fact, I believe the console ...

Now available on eBay for a whopping price of $680 after 40 bids and climbing, this AWESOME Beatles-themed Xbox is one in a series of limited consoles planned for release by Harmonix in honor of Beatles: Rock Band. All proceeds from this auction will go to the Doctors Without Borders charity. Screw the doctors. I totally want this for selfish ...

Despite popular belief, graphic designers need to shower too. They don’t just shed their skin every few weeks like the text books might have you believe. Even if many of them live and breathe typography, there comes a time when you have to put the fonts to rest so you can continue other life functions, such as sleeping and showering. ...

He might not transform into a Bug mobile, but he’s just as awesome in my book. LEGO Donald Duck is just as impossible to understand as the real one. Link [via]

I’ve always loved designs with more than one use. Any more than three uses is pushing it. Then you are moving into kitsch territory. Mark Kinsley’s Fold Out Mural shelves are right in the sweet spot with two functions; looking pretty as a wall mural and folding out to provide some much needed shelving space. This would be an awesome ...

Rollin’ on dubs. Shootin’ up some thugs. Eating cupcakes. Gangsta. Pure gangsta. Represent. If I owned a car or knew how to cook, my ride would be fully-stocked with these Car Company Cupcakes at all times. You know I need me some baked goods. OM NOM! Link

Alright, that’s IT! I could live with the destruction of all hope for intelligent life caused by the Hello Kitty Laptop, and I could deal with them ruining my work place with the Hello Kitty Water Cooler, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY, fucks with the sanctity of my Rubik’s Cube… unless it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty much everything you would ...

Designer Angela Moramarco created this AnatoWii project, demonstrating what the anatomy of the Wii console might look like if it had internal organs, rather than hardware. Consoles, in their own way, can become living, breathing members of our everyday life. Why shouldn’t they have their own anatomical charts? If we had to guess what organ composed the Wii, we would ...
