The design is pretty simple. You set the alarm, then you make you breakfast selections, and go to sleep. When you wake up, you'll have some toast, water or juice at the ready. Provided you haven't knocked everything over with your arm after a failed attempt to find the off button. [Yanko Design]

With a splash-resistant design featuring large touch-sensitive buttons, users can power on ths battery-operated radio, turn up the volume and control this gadget using their elbows and knuckles. Users also don't have to worry about knocking it over with their clumsy appendages because this device is fitted with a rubberized weighted base. Other specs include a click-back preset adjuster and a vertical-scrolling LCD. Sounds pretty neat, but as it is still a concept, there's no word on when you'll be able to get your slimy hands on one of these. [Yanko]

Over at Yanko Design you can see the Music Flow concept by Min-Kyung Kang, Tae-Seung Kim and Jeong-Min Og. As you can see, you turn the faucet knob to initiate the musical stream, which "flows" into the headphones connected to the spigot. With me so far? OK, so the headphone cable is a garden hose, of sorts, and it uses a capacitive sensor to detect pinching: If you pinch the hose, the watery music momentarily ceases to flow! Feel free to take your bong hit now, cuz it's only getting weirder...
• The remote "looks like waves" and controls the player without the faucet knob.
• The faucet knob is actually also a disguised speaker.
• And the spigot, being the player itself, houses a battery that you charge up before attaching to "a wall or window."
• None of these pieces, save the spigot and the presumably prohibitively expensive headphones, come together.

It's definitely more, uh, creative than that goofy cow MP3 player, but that doesn't mean it makes any sense. I almost forgot the kicker: It's not waterproof. [Yanko]

Even more interesting is that each attachment does something different. The fork, for example, measures fat, protein and sugar content. The spoon? That weighs the food, while the knife takes your food's temperature and ensures it's safe for eating.

Then, after your meal, the IC3 synchs up with a PC or other information gathering device and produces a nutrition report, which you'll probably follow religiously for a few weeks before falling off the wagon. [Yanko Design via DVICE]

I would prefer a bigger shower head, myself. [Yanko]

You can change the color of the light by using different-colored glass tubes. [Yanko]

Only one slice toasts at a time, which is pure badness in my book; and, as yet, it's only a concept. Arthur, you need to do a double-toaster and keep those '80s tapeheads happy. [Yanko]

Designed by Ivan Huber, the bag itself comes in three sizes: urban day pack; weekender; and God, she's in a right old mood today five-day trekker. Snap it into the universal frame, made of molded plastic. Air channels provide breathability, and the core is flexible, so you can wriggle around easily with it on you.

It looks so space-agey that you could probably wear the frame without the bag attachment to play Astronauts & Nurses, or whatever it is you like to play at on a weekend. [Yanko]

The take-away sink is designed by Jessica Nebel, who reckons it will encourage water saving. [Yanko]

A tongue? One of those chairs you stick a baby in and bounce it up and down? The right-hand armrest contains a CD player, the left-hand one a jack for your MP3 player. I'm just not sure about the hippie-ish purple crushed velvet finish, though. [Yanko]

Made of carbon composite, the handlebars, stem and fork are all one piece, with the ergonomic seat post and saddle integrated into the frame. Handlebars connect to frame via a pivot, and the seat even has a hole in it in case you get taken short while cycling to keep you cool while you work the pedals.

The Y-frame shape means that the Oryx is shock-proof and keeps you in contact with the road at all time, and there is a one-sided fork and chain-stay. The crank is designed like a ring and mounted inside the frame on a couple of ball bearings, and the wheels detach from the bike at the push of a button, a useful time-saver for competitions.

The best bit about this, though, is that if you fit a bunch of them together then it looks like Scalextric for the posh. Made of a single piece of red oak and covered with high-density foam it will no doubt be off-the-scale expensive—but think of the Loopty-Love you could enjoy with the chicks.

That you either offer a customizing service or include a plain buckle in the package - that way, I'll be able to wander around with "Addy Gives Good Giz" emblazoned just below my navel.

This concept for a future Dell XCS PC is called evolutionary by its designers, but it looks pretty revolutionary to us. The developers have somehow determined that consumers are afraid to get their hands dirty under the hood of a conventional PC, and would be more likely to tinker with their hot rods if they consisted of snap-together modular parts.

So they've designed a PC with an easy-as-pie numbering system, where all those megahertz and gigahertz and other complicated numerologies are replaced by simple single-digit numbers. Plus, they've made it impossible to insert one of these modules into the wrong place.

But wait. If you take away the degree of difficulty, doesn't that diminish the degree of satisfaction once the job is done? Nevertheless, this is one badass-looking PC. Maybe someday we'll see one in the real world. – Charlie White

The keypad has a tear-away and fold-down design, and since the paper is very thin and light, the LEDs underneath are able to shine through. This is not going to do much for those poseurs who always must express themselves with only the swankiest, shiniest cellphones. But it might do in a pinch.

By the way, see what you can decipher from the nearly-unintelligible story (in Engrish) after the link—it's quite a rough translation. – Charlie White
