Zero-Gee Computing Recliner Proves Our Fat Future is Now

Everyone saw Wall-E, right? And how the luxury cruisers of the future glide around in floating touch-screen-equipped easy chairs? Then the Zero-Gee gaming/blogging "workstation" should look mighty familiar. Its ergonomic, reclining frame is designed to ensure your ass is free from the forces of gravity as you type, type, type yourself into oblivion. There's even a caddy for your liquified cupcakes-in-a-cup, and you're also positioned nicely for a root canal or any other minor surgeries here as well, which you'll need soon enough.

Boom Arm Starbase Workstation: Because Laptops are Too Heavy For Nerds

The Boom Arm Starbase Workstation—now there is a product aimed squarely at nerds. It combines computing and extreme laziness with a little "Starbase" sci-fi flavor thrown in. I mean, you could use a product like the LapDawg—but that would require actually lifting the laptop now and then. The swing arm action on the Starbase will come in quite handy after all of your muscles have atrophied. You can even get a cup holder, Flatscreen VESA LCD mount, and a height adjustment suitable for expanding waistlines. Not bad for around $300. [Product Page via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Tennis Ball Cannon is a Dog's Best Robotic Friend

Now, a beer launching fridge I can understand, but a tennis ball cannon? I find it amusing when someone spends a tremendous amount of time and effort building something that can automate basic functions—like throwing a tennis ball to a wiener dog. But the results speak for themselves. It is an inspiration for lazy people everywhere. [BoingBoing Gadgets]

A Chair That Walks For You: Supreme Laziness Doesn't Come Cheap

Chairs that can walk are nothing new, but this is the first version that I have seen that you can actually buy. The mechanics in this eight-legged chair are sophisticated enough to move a "passenger" around the room, but there is no information available about how one would actually steer this thing, how fast it can walk and how much weight it can lift. These are things I would like to know before I drop 15,000 Euros, (or $23,000) on a chair with no cushion. [Product Page via Gizmowatch via Slashgear]

Remote Control Floating Service Tray

What's the difference between summer and winter? In the summer you can lay outside and be lazy as hell. This remote-control serving tray can be the cherry on top of your lazy summer sundae. All you have to do is navigate the tray to the edge of the pool, have your butler refill with brew and snacks, then navigate it back to your designated flotation area to continue with the lazy face-stuffing. $50. –Travis Hudson More »

Rubik's Cube For the Lazy

If they've got Rubik's Cubes for the blind, why not one for the lazy? Speaking of lazy, whatever happened to those omnipresent moving walkways, auto-shavers, and sexy, sexy robots from The Jetsons? We thought the future was supposed to be so lazy-friendly, when it turns out we have to do even more work than before. – Jason Chen More »
