Tefal Toast n’ Egg – Desktop Breakfast

by Jay Garrett on January 26, 2010

We’re all busy people. Rushing around trying to do 12 things at once.

How many times have you thought to yourself, “I’ll just check my emails then I’ll get some breakfast”, only to look at your watch to discover it’s almost lunchtime already! Where did those hours go?

Well, as long as you’ve got some bread and eggs handy, just pop the Tefal Toast n’ Egg on your desk.

Never miss breakfast again.

With the Toast n’ Egg sat next to your espresso maker you’ve got yourself a desktop cafe!

Shove bread in one bit, sling an egg in t’other and poached egg on toast is done in a trice.

CoolKitchen sell this for £29 and Argos at £38.99

Sexier Than an iMac – The Philco PC is Bringing the ’50s Sexy Back!

by Jay Garrett on December 14, 2009

Philco PCThe Philco PC is lovingly based on the fantastically futuristic and totally iconic Philco Predicta television set (check the gallery below) as well as some Steampunk influences.

The re-imagining of the 50’s style set into a contemporary computer includes some real nice touches.

Take the typewriteresque keyboard or the mouse which resembles something that would normally be found being waved around by Scotty.

This is just a concept at the moment but please someone – give Dave Schultze a call, give him some cash and some development time and help him build this machine.

Help us PC users have the last laugh at those trendy fashion-forward Mac users!

Check out the video – Yum!
