Gigabyte's Cool Rain Memory Cooler Was Blade Runner Prop in Past Life
OK, Gigabyte's Cool Rain Memory Cooler was never featured in Blade Runner, and yes, we called it stupid overkill, but just look at it. The watercooled unit, which we mentioned earlier, can accommodate memory in dual channel form, has a radiator that flips open, uses two heat spreader units and a blue LED. If only our sneakers looked this sci-fi. (Yes, we liked LA Lights.) [Newlaunches]

Cranky Benches Roll Off Water After It Rains
Anybody who likes to go to the park after a good rainstorm knows the butt-soaking hazard of still-wet bench. Some design gurus in Korea decided to solve the system with a simple crank: give it a couple of turns, and the soggy slats at the top roll to the bottom while the dry slats below revolve back on top. This "rolling bench" innovation solves the problem of water, which will definitely evaporate or just drip off, but it doesn't solve the problem of other park-bench friendly substances, say the blue puke of a kid who's gorged himself on cotton candy. What do you got for that, O Mighty Design Gods? [Yanko]

Lightsaber Umbrella Uses the Force to Stop the Rain
Now available for your handy dandy arsenal of lightsaber gear is this umbrella. No longer will your lightsaber MP3 player, Skype phone, universal remote or MacBook be lonely. I feel like such a nerd describing this, but the umbrella's handle is a black lightsaber and no part of the umbrella lights up, which is very unfortunate for the diehard fans out there. It is available for $100 and would be perfect to shield yourself and your imaginary date on a rainy evening. More »
