Who knew that lightbulb design could suddenly become so interesting? Since we’re all well aware that regular old light bulbs are bad for the environment, we’re seeing new designs for LED bulbs come in. And man, they’re strange looking.
The weird designs, such as the one above, are the result of the LED being lit from [...]
Kotaku’s Ashcraft’s book on Japanese arcades may document how well those gaming centers are doing in Japan, but arcades are pretty much on their last legs here in the US. These high quality Supermandolini arcade buttons are how you can keep hope alive. Sixteen euros ($20) gets you ten badges, or buttons, that you can [...]

An attempt at blending eco-friendliness with interesting design, it’s a full hi-fi speaker system with bass-reflex ports and the [...]

If you have a new 4th-gen nano and a decent ear, you may have noticed something funny: After putting it to sleep, if you wake it up by inserting headphones, the left and right channels switch.
