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!

Uno Electric Racing Unicycle Now Real – Not as Exciting

by Jay Garrett on December 4, 2009

Uno CycleRemember the funky Canadian Uno concept from last year?

Part TT Racer, Part unicycle. You know, the unholy coupling of a Yamaha R6 and a Segway?

It blew me away with its almost Akira futurism.

Now it’s a really real thing and you’d think that I’d still be blown away – even more so now it’s a reality.

Well……….. not quite.

Unfortunately as soon as the Uno hits 20mph instead of looking like Kaneda’s choice of racer it transforms into an odd-looking regular two-wheeled thing (See the pic in the gallery below).

Ben Gulak, the Uno’s inventor covers himself by saying: “The original Uno was quite scary to speed up on. This is a much more user-friendly experience.”

Whoever gets on a motorbike for a safe and friendly experience?

What says you?

These watches look cool, use e-ink and don’t look overtly geeky – WIN!
Personally I think that these new Phosphor watches have real-world style.
The watches have a cool kind of bold newsprint look to them, really using the retro-future style of e-ink to the ultimate.
 They’re just right in the chunkiness levels too and the best thing is that the whole [...]

It was spotted at the Pavillon Vert at the Geneva Motor Show and comes from the French company Courb.
C-Zen actually stands for ‘C’est Zéro Emission Nocive’, or ‘No Harmful Emissions’ and that’s achieved by it running on a 12kW [...]
