I'm surprised there's no waterbed option.

I suppose this is the right bed for you if you prefer to pleasure partners like you're a character in a supernatural slasher film or in an '80s metal music video—but I digress. The bed, nightstand and wall lamp combo are handcrafted from rotten teak planks, which provides ideal cavities to embed LEDs (a clear epoxy material generates the light color effect). Guys with little taste and lots of money can score a set for $7,500. [Treecycled Furniture via Born Rich]

<![CDATA[Snow Leopard's New Exposé and Dock Explained]]> With so many people excited (and enraged) about iPhone 3GS, it's no wonder we glossed over Snow Leopard's cool UI update, which gives you Exposé control from inside the Dock. Now's your chance to see the video demo:

As John mentioned yesterday, it's an update that resembles Windows 7's amazing Taskbar, in that you can get at more windows and files from the Dock itself, currently considered more of an app launcher than an app manager. Here are the new key attributes for Exposé, and how it works within the Dock:


• Exposé itself has a new look: Windows are arranged in a grid rather than in whatever open space is available, and the title of each window appears underneath. (You can see this in the video below, if you pay attention.)

• Stacks, those folder contents that pop up from the Dock, also got tweaked. Most notably, you can scroll to see all the stuff in a stack without clicking the "More" arrow, and folders that appear in stacks can be opened and browsed, too.

• If you click and hold an app icon in the Dock, all the windows open in that app will reveal themselves in the Exposé grid, lined up neatly. Using some key command or cursor gesture (which I don't know), you can even zoom in to one of the open windows, and check it out without leaving Exposé.

• If you grab a file, you can drag it to the dock and hold it over an app icon. This springs open App, and arranges the open windows of that app in Exposé, so you can easily drop the file where it needs to go. (I currently do this by holding the file with my mouse while doing a combo-keystroke to bring the window back into view, so I can see how this will make life easier.)

<![CDATA[Enable Four-Finger Gestures on Original MacBook Air with Dangerous Scary Hack]]> Macrumors forum member michaelb, in a fit of jealousy over his ladyfriend's new unibody MacBook, decided to try to trick his last-gen MacBook Air into recognizing four-finger gestures. He installed the updated 10.5.5 system from the new MacBook onto his Air, and then through some tricky manipulation of the kernel extension, managed to get the flashy four-finger gestures working. This is like the invention of sliced bread times infinity.

He can use Exposé and Application Switcher just like the newer models, and suspects all later-model MacBooks could also work. Macrumors warns that this is absolutely not recommended for the casual user, and could have awful results you and I can't even guess at, but it's definitely an impressive trick. Makes you wonder why Apple couldn't have just updated all of the older machines via a firmware upgrade, doesn't it? [Macrumors]

<![CDATA[Mac With 150 Apps Running Shows Teeny-Weeny Dock, Exposé Windows]]> Ever wondered what Mac Dock and Exposé look like with 150 apps running? Well, wonder no more, friend. Wonder no more. Rest assured, however, everything gets ludicrously tiny. Now, we're not too sure who'd be using 150 apps simultaneously, except for maybe that dude at the end of The Matrix who manages to confuse the crap out of everyone. Damn, he sure was crazy. Anyway, the sight is quite impressive nonetheless, so jump in for a screen shot.

150%20Apps%20DockExpose.jpgThe Mac in question is a 2.2GHz MBP with an undisclosed amount of RAM installed. The user, Flickr member burnflare92, stated no slowdown was detected at all. I find that a little hard to believe, as mine lags a bit with a mere 20-plus apps running, even if it is a 2.16Ghz, 2GB RAM MBP. What do you guys reckon: is zero lag with 150 apps running total BS?

<![CDATA[OS X Leopard: Expose + Spaces Demo]]> Are you curious how expose in OS X will work with the upcoming "spaces" virtual desktop feature? Take a look. You can easily move windows between desktops and expose will "re-expose" the desktop once you've dropped the window. Quite neat.
