Finally, someone has delivered.

And that someone just happens to be Etsy user iconpillow. Actually, he has quite a few pillow designs outside of iPhone icons that might make a great gift for someone who enjoys both gadgets and naps—including Facebook and Firefox. [Etsy via Geeky Gadgets]

<![CDATA[Tweetie Pillows Next Best Thing to Twittering in Your Sleep About Deep-Fried Butter]]> Well, that's what I dream about anyway. Covered in spicy chocolate sea salt. Oh yes, the pillows. Two versions, Tweetie for Mac or Tweetie 2, $15 a piece or $25 for both. Mmmm butter. [MySuiteStuff, Thanks John!]

<![CDATA[Throwboy Halloween Pillows Add Some Boo to the Mac OS X Finder]]> This Halloween I'm planning to go as the Spinning Beach Balls of Death. I'll gut one of these Halloween Finder Pillows, put it on my head, apply some colorful paint to my naughty bits, and go around New York naked.

Throwboy—the people who do the chat pillows and Mac OS X pillows—says you can get each of the 9 by 11-inch pillows for $29, or the whole set for $100. [Throwboy]

<![CDATA[Xbox 360 Controller Pillows Actually Look Extremely Comfortable]]> Now that I'm seeing this handmade Xbox 360 pillow, I can see how the natural contours of the controller might actually be easier on my lower back then they are on my hands.

Unfortunately, this large-scale version was a one-off gift for a lucky boyfriend, but there just happens to be similar neck pillows available right now on eBay. Seriously, it's like the design team working for Microsoft had a background at Tempur-Pedic or something. [Thread Banger via Technabob]

<![CDATA[OMG Chat Pillows FTW]]> The Throwboy people are at it again with more pillows for 21st century boys and girls. Now with chat dialogs with common chat phrase contractions, from WTF to FTW, going through OMG and BRB. Wait, no TFSU? For shame. [Throwboy]

<![CDATA[Cmd + Z Mac Pillows Won't Actually Undo Last Night]]> These Cmd+Z Mac pillows are the most functional geek pillows we've seen—you know, if they actually did take back all the horrible things you did last night so you could do them all over again. [Etsy via Cult of Mac]

<![CDATA[Japanese Toilet Kneeler Puts You Closer To the Action]]> Splashes become a worry once you hit the high end of five feet, which is why this Japanese "Angels Knee Pillow" is a decent alternative, even if it is a little degrading.

The pillows come in two options, a split-mode one and a larger, single unit variety. It's pretty gross when you think about getting your junk THAT close to the toilet, but even grosser if you're so short that your goods actually touch the rim of the bowl. An easier solution would be just to pee sitting down. [House Doctor via Inventor Spot via Crunch Gear]

<![CDATA[Adobe Creative Suite Pillows Are All About Design]]> The movement to turn all of our furniture into a fluffy application dock continues with this handmade Adobe Creative Suite collection.

The set includes icons for Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. That should be enough for anyone, but if you want to go the extra mile you might want to pick up a Photoshop shirt. The idea is that while wearing it and sitting on your Adobe couch, you physically complete the theme. [mysuitestuff via Design Milk]

<![CDATA[Ctrl-Alt-Del Cushions Reboot Your Living Room Style]]> Mac fans have their OSX pillows and now Windows dorks have their own Ctrl-Alt-Del version.

Picking up the set will cost you $60, but I feel that it is time to take a stand against the throw pillow scourge. Whenever I see a mount of pillows on a piece of furniture I want to reboot them right out the window. [Etsy via Swissmiss via Tech Digest]

<![CDATA[The Pillow Blanket Concept]]> Perhaps we should rethink our blankets and sleep with something extra comfortable—like this blanket constructed entirely out of pillows.


With a pillow missing in its rectangular design, it allows you to slip your head through the hole—poncho style—and use it as both a pillow and a blanket.


But if you get cold easily in the night, you'd probably need extra blankets since it looks like there are gaps between each pillow. Also, if you're the type that likes to snuggle, this blanket could potentially be a problem in the bedroom—unless you both have extremely small noggins. [designboom]

<![CDATA[Color TV Would Not Exist Without the Test Pattern Pillow]]> We hear that before the days of modern camera calibration, broadcasters fine-tuned their pictures with giant patterned pillows. They only cost about $40 then, and they still cost about $40 now. [funktionalley via bbGadgets]

<![CDATA[OS X Throw Pillows Available Now to Dork Up the Place]]> Remember those OS X throw pillows that we showed you a while back? Well your sleepless nights are over since...drumroll...suspense...excitement...more drumroll...you can actually buy them now!

Priced at $30 apiece or $150 for the set, the "handcrafted" fleece pillows are stuffed with polyester alongside several ounces of pure fanboy concentrate*.

Fanboy concentrate is the mixture of stone ground OS 9 discs, cotton derivative, Jobs saliva substitute, MSG and high fructose corn syrup. [Throwboy via Unplggd]

<![CDATA[Please Touch Pillow Brings Dreams In Vivid Hypercolor]]> Remember Hypercolor shirts? The heat-sensitive pigment made for an interesting gimmick—but the whole color-changing effect was ruined after a few runs in the wash. I would expect the same thing to happen with these "please touch" lambskin pillows—except this time you would be out $160. Do people really put their pillows in the washing machine anyway?

<![CDATA[LightMate Pillow Looks Like Glowing Hentai Splooge Monster That Molests You to Sleep]]> Designed by artist Francesca Lanzavecchia, NightMates are "soft anthropomorphic pillows and warming lamps" that are supposed to keep you company (and comfy) at night. They come in different sizes, depending on how much anthropomorphic love you need, but you might wanna stick with the smaller ones that are more like Glo-Worms—the full sized ones are more than a little creepy, like something that slithered off the cover of one of my roommate's NSFW manga collection to do wrong things to you while you sleep.

<![CDATA[Laptop Pillows Are Expensively Cool For Your Thigh Hairs]]> Laptop coolers are great for cooling down your machine on a desk with their fans and heat-conductive surfaces, but placing those on your thighs is just asking for sore muscles. These laptop pillows from Intelligent Forms, however, are pillows, which means they're soft enough to keep on your lap for an extended period.

These come in three flavors, Log, Button and Terrapin—we prefer the log—and will cost $160 US/CDN when it's eventually released. This seems like a Canada-first deal, so the rest of us will have to wait a little bit to get our turn. Still, $160 seems really steep even if it includes shipping. We rarely say this, because it's true for just about every manufactured product, but you could build your own for much cheaper. [Intelligent Forms]

<![CDATA[Livingstones Are Surrealistic Soft Rock Pillows]]> The couple above are about to a) bounce on the soft surface of the Livingstones, pillows with the shape and colors of rocks, b) break six ribs, dislocate a hip, fracture several vertebrae and lose various teeth, c) get some business time, or d) all of the above. Jump and bounce for more pictures, including their whole catalog of indoor and outdoor models.

The Livingstones come in sizes ranging from 6.1 inches to 6.6 feet, all with the right, natural-looking proportions. I have to admit that I'm tempted to get a few for some casual quality time in the garden, and also that I'm partial to the rocking bed. [Livingstones]

<![CDATA[Boob Mousepads Become Boob Pillows]]> Some enterprising Japanese company has taken those Japanese mousepads with anime boobies on them and blown them up. Now pillow sized, the mousepad/pillows provide your hands with something to do while relaxing. It's probably a very nice neck and head rest as well. [AkibaOS via Kotaku]

<![CDATA[Google News Cushion is Enlightening, Embarrassing]]> The Google News Cushion is a standard couch pillow that's been printed with the top Google News stories of the year. It's a microcosm, in plush, pillow form, of the collective human experience on planet Earth. For instance, what news did we search most in 2003?

Kobe Bryant, Brittany Spears, Shakira, and 50 Cent. 2005 found itself riddled with trifles like "tsunami" and Hurricane Katrina, but it's promising to know that even in the face of such tragedies, Man still found time to search for Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Britney Spears again...Needless to say, the pillow becomes a greatest hits list for everything that truly matters in the world.

2003 will run you a steep $250, with other years costing a slightly more reasonable $120. Each pillow is signed for authenticity that it's expensive. [product via bltd]
