This concept looks extremely slick! Taking Apple’s design evolution from the latest MacBook’s and MacBook Pro’s, this design would be the next logical step. Pack the Mac into the iPhone and shake, voila! Click the image for a large version.

Ever had a really cool idea for something you wanted to build, but you had no way to actually build it? Ever designed a toy or a piece of art that you thought would be a neat thing to have, but your skills at molding plastic or at sculpture just weren’t up to the task? If so, Shapeways may be for you. Design whatever you want (within certain parameters) and they’ll print it for you in 3D, out of plastic, and send it to you.

With the Shapeways Creator you can create your own personal and unique object! You don’t need any 3D modeling skills and it takes just a few minutes. You can change the shape as you want and even add text. If you like the result you can order it and we will print and ship it to you. The Shapeways Shops offer artists, designers and hobbyists alike a unique online platform to show and sell their designs to a worldwide audience.

The young dutch startup is spinning out from the Lifestyle Incubator of Royal Philips Electrions, located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Busy week, sorry… So, there we are. Back in the world of gadgets, videos, gossip, music, sex, toys, and strange fusions out of all of the latter. How great, that some people still focus on good design: Mike and Maaike, two guys from San Francisco, do just that. They are the creative duo behind the Google G1, fabulous furniture and the XBox 360. All three categories highly – and most honorably – qualify them to be a squeeq essential.

When it is Bavarian Motor Works, it’s always something special on offer, and there is hardly anyone who would deny this fact. Furthermore, it is not a car or a bike that I talk about here. The German giant with its BMW Group DesignworksUSA unit, plans to conquer the waters with the world premiere of a stunning yacht in collaboration with Belgian firm Zeydon. Zeydon is no puny name either, and has earned a great reputation for its yachts over the last four years, owing to its innovative ideas and design.

This new baby, dubbed the Z60, plans to make a name based on a completely new chapter of water-mobility: performance-oriented luxury yachts. It would stand 60 feet above the water, and there is no doubt that the luxurious setting on display would be mind-boggling. Wait for this fall to see this sumptuous offering on display and believe me, it would be one tantalizing affair. Gallery after the jump.

Verbarius is the first clock in the world that tells time the way people do. It has five preloaded languages: English, German, Spanish, French and Russian. You can easily upload any additional language you like—from Latin to Eskimoan—using the USB port.

The clock spells out time differently every minute. It’s either forty-five minutes past four, or fifteen minutes to five, or four forty-five, or a quarter to five.

Pixelnotes cover a wall in 5 layers of tiny perforated square notes. Each layer of notes are colored a different shade of grey while the deepest layer is a bright primary color such as red. The notes have an adhesive top similar to Post-it Notes.

If you ever need a piece of paper to jot something down you can just go over and rip off a piece. The on-going usage of the notes will create a constantly changing display of color and shapes that could make your workplace a tad more enjoyable and functional than a plain wall.

Of course if you’re one of those people who actually spend their time at work doing actual work you might not even notice that there are walls in your office.

Isn’t that great? Imagine yourself zipping on your favorite Russian vodka thinking of the great people behind the process of distilling, blending and exporting of it. Unfortunately, though, vodka is not the number one export from Russia, but the assault rifle AK-47 – better known as Kalashnikov – is. Soon, exports number one and number two go great together. What makes this possible, is the AK Ice Tray, which produces neat, perfect AK-47 ammo-like ice cubes for that special drink. Nazdarovye!
