These fuji apples were manipulated in the late stages of growth to appear to be “Apple” apples. By applying a sticker to the skin of the fruit about a month before they are harvested, this batch of apples are made into the cheapest Apple product you can buy these days. 

And no, I didn’t see a line of people waiting to get their hands on one of these.

 

Sugru Who?

General Design

Sugru is described as a creator’s dream, a means to have things that you have already, but better. This room temperature-curing silicone putty has been used for mending pottery, modifying electronics and patching fabric.

Heat resistant, washable and tactile enough to mold to any form, this stuff sold out within 16 hours during its online debut. So, when it becomes available again, you’ll have to act fast if you want some for yourself!

Taking off the Gloves

Product Design, Product Innovation, Upcoming Inventions

With cold weather all around us, many people who use touch interface devices are going to find that they will have to shed a layer to check email, answer a phone call or navigate their MP3 players. Instead of taking off your gloves, try creating a conductive pad on your finger tips.

These gloves can be purchased, but what is the fun in that? Try making your own gloves with a few simple items. Using your ordinary gloves, you can create an extraordinary interface to communicate between your fingertips and your electronic touch surface device. 

SFE Conductive Thread -  234/34 4ply  gloves for iphone 

You can order a sample bobbin of conductive thread for a small amount of money compared to the cost of a large spindle. Instructables even has an article about creating conductive glue if you choose to go that route. The idea is to create your own active conductive surface with a little creativity and know-how. The possibilities are limitless.

 

Packing a Sonic Punch

These dorm room speakers say they will pack a punch, using a pop out accordion design to expel superior sound. A nice addition to an MP3 player or laptop computer. Any electronic device that clicks, slides, pops out or transforms grabs my attention.
