Compact Surfboard Concept by Nicholas Notara

TheFuture — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 04:02:24 +0000

After apartment furnitures in a box, now comes a compact surfboard from Nicholas Notara. The classic surfboard seems to just take up some more space, while you find the time to use it. Notara decided to design a collapsible surfboard to solve the problem. Made from carbon-fiber, designed carefully to maintain the balance and weight of its traditional counterpart, and with the help of 2 pins and a quick release level can halve in size. A very smart concept which I predict will be available soon !

Want to Turn Your Notebook Into A Desktop ?

TheFuture — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 15:11:28 +0000

Yes, it might be possible somewhere in the future, thanks to Yong-Seong Kim concept, this kind of thing might can be done. The whole idea of notebook docks was interesting 10+ years ago when we had to be frugal with our I/O ports and live with subpar LCD screens. Now that notebooks have pretty much caught up with desktops, do we really need another docking solution? According to designer Yong-Seong Kim, we do.

His go-anywhere desktop docking solution calls for a large slot behind the LCD display. This is where you slide your notebook in, allowing you to access all its information from a desktop form factor. The notebook?s screen also becomes your second display, in portrait mode of course. It?s an interesting concept isn’t it ?

The concept of this ring comes from how you manage to save all informations about the person that you just met. Wearing this ring, when people first meet and shake hands, the rings on the fingers get close enough to operate and begin to download all basic information about the ring owner. This ring works on both side, so they exchange basic informations, the more people you meet, the more informations are saved in your ring. This ring was designed by Hideaki Matsui, hopefully we can see the ring in the future.
