This is one of those
design concepts that might also require a genie in a bottle to actually come into fruition. It's called the
Canon Snap, a high-quality camera small enough to wear like a ring. Push its single button, and you've got digi-photos. Sure, looks neat. If they could just make that lens retract down to flatness it would be near-perfect. Sure, there are
cameras smaller than the Snap already, but their quality probably achieves new lows of suckatude. So it all depends on what the designers mean by "high quality." Anyway, we like the Canon Snap's ultra-small form factor, because after all, even the best camera in the world won't do you any good if you don't have it with you. [

At this very moment, I'm surely doing permanent damage to my spine by typing away on my laptop while slouching upon my particularly broken-in couch. If only I had this Surf Chair, my future trips to the supermarket and social gatherings wouldn't be inhibited by the necessity of walking on all four appendages. Seemingly ergonomic, tiny pillows support various points of your body for a sci-fi recliner effect while you browse away for hours on end. But who am I kidding? I'm not leaving the house today. Or tomorrow if I can help it. [coroflot via Techfresh]
The Shade Blade is a design concept touted as "the ultimate pair of sunglasses." The visor on top is a solar array, charging up batteries that can power a variety of plug-and-play modules.
