Regular readers here will have seen LaCie team up with a range of designers; Neil Poulton and Phillipe Starck spring instantly to mind.
Well, the design lead LaCie has given another makeover to something you take for granted – your puter cables.
Now they’re flat and colourful so now you can unplug without having to trace the spaghetti of wires to their source before crossing your fingers and yarking out the cable.
The LaCie cables are more than just a collection of lookers.
That flat design makes them easier to coil and less likely to get tangled – although with my other flat cables (SCART, etc) threading them around corners and such does create a minor issue.
You can get this funky cables in several USB configurations, Firewire and eSATA.

You go to buy a camera and chances are you resign yourself to it being a black box more often than not.
Short of taking your DSLR to a gadgety colouring specialist like Colorware you’d usual be stuck.
Sure – you can get red, silver, and some limited edition finishes but Pentax feels your pain.
You want, nay, need to express yourself.
To this end Pentax has recently introduced the new upper entry level DSLR camera Pentax K-x. Breaking away from the conventional black coloured bodied DSLR, the new K-x will come in a whole new range of colours. “Pentax K-x 100 colours 100 styles” provides you with 20 coloured bodies and 5 coloured grips to mix and match around with.
With the possibility of 100 different colour combinations, the K-x model certainly offers a uniquely customisable option to make you happy snappers.
Get your team colours, show your patriotism, flash your keen designery eye – just go crazy!
Here’s a spec list but hey – look at those colour combos!
All that’s left to say is that you can go get one now!
