This watch from SDWorks might not have the best-looking LED display, but that's okay! Its default face is the prettiest of all: yours. Unabashed narcissists can order here. [SDWorks via bookofjoe]

Eyelash Growing Drug Will Cure That Baldness Around Your Eyes

Elaine Chow — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:30:00 EST

If you've ever worried about the inadequacy of your eyelashes, the company that brought you Botox now has a serum to make them longer and fuller. The source of its power: repurposed glaucoma meds.

Allergan will introduce the lash growing drug, named Latisse, at the end of the month. It'll be used to treat “eyelash hypotrichosis,” that life-threatening condition where you look in the mirror and huffily remark that your eyelashes just aren't full enough to flutter properly.

Clinical trials found that Latisse increased “overall eyelash prominence as measure by the Global Eyelash Assessment” by at least one point on a four point scale. That's right, there's a Global Eyelash Assessment scale. God, I love the beauty industry. [Wired Science]

+336+ Mirror Displays Your SMS Alongside Your Utter Sad-Sackness

This is the +336+ Mirror. More than just a concept (maaan) it is an idea-made-flesh for those 20 people in the world stupid enough—and rich enough—to shell out $10,000 for a looking glass that can display text messages sent from a cellphone. So either this is the least mobile mobile phone (albeit one without the ability to make and receive calls) ever or this is a bathroom accoutrement that I. Just. Don't. Get. The point of.

Someone called Robert Stadler of French design group Radi Designers is the muppet behind the +336+ mirror. His house is, I'm sure, a veritable potpourri, smorgasbord and chimi-churri of fabulous things, but this, Robert dearest, is something else. Give me your number and I'll text you exactly what I think of the +336+ and you can read it while you floss or shave or pick your zits or whatever it is you do first thing in the morning.

Apple Blocks MySpace From All Their Stores

Jason Chen — Mon, 28 May 2007 11:03:30 EDT

Apple is sick and tired of people coming into their stores and hogging their computers for hours at a time while they waste time on MySpace. Apparently people have taken to coming in, taking pictures of themselves with PhotoBooth (the filters are so funny!!!), and uploading them to their profiles. In response, MySpace is now blocked in all Apple stores.

Good riddance, I say. I'm sure the types of people who would dick around on MySpace for two hours in a store aren't the types of people who would actually, you know, buy anything, and Apple has no responsibility to provide free Web access to the general mouth-breathing population. Just don't block Gmail, OK guys? I'll be quick, I promise. –Adam Frucci
