Linos USB Vinyl Record Player


Linos is a portable vinyl record player designed by Charles Pyott. Powered by the USB from your computer, all you have to do is slide it onto a record, extend the needle arm and you have a portable record player that will play through your computer speakers. Unfortunately this is not available for purchase yet but hopefully soon this cool gadget will come to fruition.

Transformer Chair


Here In NY, the apartments are known for having high prices and small spaces, so anything that helps save space and does the jobs of two things in one should be highly appreciated. Fotel has designed a chair that can literally transforms from a normal chair that would be good for the office into a rocking chair that is good for everything else in approximately 20 seconds. It seems that all the owner has to do is rotate the part of the chair without the seat and the steady seat turns into a casual rocking chair. The seat is made from a stretchy elastic and the rest of the chair is made from an extremely lightweight material. It is only a concept right now but the simplicity of the design probably wont stay conceptual for long.

Say Goodbye To Padlocks and Pumps



Being a product of my environment has made me more inclined to BMX bikes, however I cannot front on how cool this new bike concept is. Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman has come up with this bike concept that will only be able to be used when the owner's fingerprint is scanned and has tires that are puncture proof and self inflating.
The computer-equipped machine can also monitor the amount of calories burned, and will have a battery that can assist you when going up a steep hill. Unfortunately the bike is only a concept and although we have all of the technology now, it probably wont be readily available or common for another 20 years.

P.S. Doesn't this bike kinda remind you of the new TRON movie?
