I Don’t Care If It Could Disappear, I Want This Tetris Chair

At first I thought that Gabriel Cañas was nuts for designing a chair that’s missing a corner, but then I realized the man is just preventing a full line from forming and the chair’s bottom disappearing in true Tetris fashion. The Tetris chair comes in the more traditional multi-colored design as well as a mono-chrome…

Barnes & Noble has a leg up on the Kindle, since they’ve got over 700 brick-and-mortar stores where they can sell the Nook.

San Diego Floating Airport Would Be A City Of Its Own

San Diego is in desperate need of an new airport, but no one wants it near their land. The so-obvious-that-you’ll-slap-your-forehead solution? Don’t build it on land, the ocean’s right there. There’s even a plan, but it’s more than an airport. The basic concept has been done in other places, but the idea for San Diego’s…

Apple’s Spending $4 Million To Renovate This Chicago Subway Station

We’ve heard of Apple spending money on minor restorations and renovations of the areas surrounding their stores, but $4 million to refurbish an adjacent subway station seems a bit excessive.

Decapitation is the classic zombie assassination method. It kills them dead, usually. Zak snapped his Palm Pre in half, and it still lives. Lesson being, unless you completely sever the head from the body, it’ll keep on cutting. Thanks Zak! https://gizmodo.com/palm-pre-cuts-the-cheese-5279413

Intel May Postpone USB 3.0 Support on Chipsets Until 2011

A report has surfaced alleging that Intel has pushed back the implementation of USB 3.0 in its chipsets a whole year, to early 2011. It’s unconfirmed, and we hope it’s not correct—it’d seriously slow down USB 3.0’s adoption. Without Intel supporting the standard, motherboard manufacturers and gadget makers alike would probably hold off on using…
