As you will see in the gallery complied by Le Journal du Geek, it looks like a pretty cool place to hang out and have a drink. They don't sell anything but food there, but it gives patrons an opportunity to play around with various Microsoft products. Wouldn't mind having a few of these on this side of the Atlantic.

The cafe will open for a few weeks starting on October 22nd. Patrons will be treated to, well...treats along with the opportunity to play around with various Microsoft products—although nothing but food will actually be sold there. So we get Microsoft stores and they get a cafe. Do you think the cafe concept would fly in the States? [TechCrunch]

Sometimes we find stories that are just barely not interesting enough to become a full post, so they end up here in remainders. But sometimes we find stories that have a bizarre enough angle that we don't feel right about ignoring them—like this one here, an Xbox 360 autographed by, of all people, Sarah Palin. Why did the former Alaskan governor and Vice-Presidential candidate autograph an Xbox 360 instead of, say, a piece of paper or a photo? We'll likely never know. Is it worth the $1 million asking price? That's really up to you guys to decide. Us, we're waiting on a Barry Goldwater-autographed Colecovision. [eBay]

This fully-automated kitchen is actually really cool—you control it with a universal remote and the opening/closing motions are very slick and well-designed (check out the video here). On the other hand, there are definitely some downsides. It costs $2,000 per lineal feet, so you could easily be looking at a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar investment here. The other downside, of course, is that the Anvil system is almost guaranteed to revolt and lock you in a cabinet once you've hit open and close thirty times because it's just so pretty. [Crunchgear]

One of my favorite perks of this job is being able to work from anywhere. I like going to a local cafe and draining their poor internet connection for eight hours straight (thanks, The Coffee Den in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn!). For some reason, some New York City cafe owners don't like me and my ilk paying $1.75 for eight hours of internet and one medium coffee, and they've started tossing out long-term laptop users. We're not really sure this is a huge trend, but coffeeshops are one of the best places to do your browsing while still feeling like you're "out," and we'd hate to see it become a real problem. Still, best do your coffeeshop internetting while you can. [Wall Street Journal via Crunchgear]

Hey look, it's a DJ mixer for two iPhones! That must be worth a post, right? Well, maybe, if it wasn't an exact copy of an iPod-specific mixer we wrote about literally years ago. It's not like it's a lousy product or anything, but come on, would it really hurt to update the design or something? At least they lowered the price...20 bucks. [Likecool]

The Mypressi Twist has a pneumatic engine—which works with CO2 cartridges that get you eight cups each—that allows you to brew a fresh espresso with no need for external power. You only need hot water and coffee to get your caffeine fix.

It will arrive to this country in the fall for $129, so the survivors from the swine flu can have espresso with their human bacon anywhere and at any time. [Mypressi via Single Serve Espresso via Engadget]

The cheapest option, the Basic Pack, contains a proprietary blend of saline solution and Vitamins B6, B12 and C. For a couple thousand yen more, a user can add on a combination of nine other drip bags, with options like Red Pack for an energy lift, Diet Pack for a metabolism boost and Placenta Pack for "rejuvenation."

The cafe is operated by a subsidiary of a medical clinic, but is unsurprisingly not covered by Japan's national health insurance. A doctor at Tenteki10 calls the IV drip service "preventive medicine" and stresses that it's an option for people to "raise their awareness of daily health management on their own." Right. As if anyone would go to an IV drip bar and then decide to exercise, eat right and get enough sleep. [Japan Today via DVICE]
