"Have you ever thought about how you might want to be remembered after you die, or what is going to mark your grave? Maybe you want a small wooden cross with some bio-degradable flowers, or perhaps something that glows in the dark, or maybe you dream of a life-sized statue that plays tunes!"

""A robot is a thing that does..." Verizon / Google / Motorola are taking their ad onslaught to new heights and in a new direction, with three new ads (which will hit "soon," according to our tipster), two of which actually show off Android functionality. It's a bold new vision for a hyperbole-filled, guytastic campaign which shows no sign of letting up, and seems more than anything to be the complete antithesis to Palm's coma-inducing spots instead of an antidote for Apple's everyhipster sensibilities. Check out the three new DROID ads after the break."

"Ring is a vibrating alarm designed for people who hate the loud blaring sounds of a typical alarm. The charging cradle is where you set what time you want each ring to go off. The ring fits over the tip of your finger and when that opportune time arrives, it vibrates. Putting the ring back on the dock shuts off the alarm."

"Sometimes, companies spend fortunes on industrial design teams for decades only to be outdone by a simple student project like this one: a flat fold-out version of the traditional three-prong power cord as thin and mobile as the Apple MacBook Air."

How is a power cord at all "mobile" like a MacBook Air is?

"Both of these fun calculators are based on Windows and Mac OS, and as you can see from the photos they are designed to look like the calculators in both operating systems."

This invention is not new. I remember having seen this in the early '80s when a city bus was jacked up this way by a service crew after an accident.

Similar (almost identical) device was marketed under TV-direct-sale ads in late 80's in Turkey. The valve applied pumping pressure to a little place so exhaust pressure was enough to pump the balloon without stalling. Useful anyway.

This is very destructive thing for internal combustion engines. Motor revolution causes overheating for a while and engine life shortened. Exhaust gasses should be easily away from combustion chamber.
- Hüseyin GÜRSOY
@Hüseyin, Sure that even built-in Catalytic Convertors provides much more opposing obstacle than this device. The balloon system has a conic shaped valve. In every case, exhaust pressure is much more than balloon's inside pressure (because conic valve's surface at balloon is so small) Thus you can pump air inside even with any hand-pump. After you stop pumping, valve closes and holds the air for you. After usage, all you need is turn on the evacuate mode of valve.

That is honestly one of the coolest and most clever designs I have seen. I have 2 turn tables and a mixer/fader but keeping them out in plain sight isn't always the most attractive. Thank you for sharing this!
