LaCie Funky Flat Cables

by Jay Garrett on December 8, 2009

LaCie FlatsRegular 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.

Orb – A Ring That Transforms into a Real Bluetooth Headset

by Jay Garrett on July 24, 2009

OrbThis is Orb.

It’s a fantastic looking ring that actually transforms into a rather cool Bluetooth headset.

Although this all looks like a concept and something more suited to the Sci-fi channel it’s an actual product coming to stores in 2010.

Developed through a partnership between Hybra Advance Technology Inc. and AbsolutelyNew Inc. the Orb will cater for the petite and stubby fingered alike through the availability of different ring sizes.

There will be three models of the class 2 Bluetooth Orb: A $130 basic model that should be hitting the states in January then a $175 Deluxe edition with a tiny FOLED display, and a limited edition with actual precious gems on it that should be out and about in April 2010.
