Sometimes we wish we had a cubicle at home, just so we could keep ourselves separated from some of the annoyances of everyday life. The Eclipse Office Partition designed by Marcus Curran is a complete desk solution to ignoring daily annoyances.

Sure, this mug might not be as risque as the Undress Me Mug, but the message is even more powerful. As the mug heats up, the pictured ice caps vanish before your eyes, offering a pleasant message with your morning coffee and bagel. If the mug gets hot enough, all that’s left is water.

You can monitor your ...

So, Mr. Gates. It seems you want to make another go at this whole portable media thing. The FCC has approved the Zune 2 80GB model, after putting it through the usual vigorous testing for compliance with such rules as the allowed radiated emissions, and more importantly, the mandatory “doesn’t blue screen every two seconds” test. I think it remains ...

We’ve seen some really cool Halloween costume ideas the last few days, including the iPhone costume and the iPod Ad costume. And look at this! We’ve actually found one not centered around an Apple product. The “OMG! Awesome Party Guy Vid!” YouTube Costume is very clearly homemade, but isn’t a half-bad copy of the video stats section of YouTube. Though ...
