Happy post 4th of July! Hopefully you pyros have all your digits today! We knew someone long ago who lost a few fingers playing with fireworks and became the subject of a Rescue 911 episode. Not something we recommend.
So this week some oldies but goodies kept your interest, such as streaming content to your PS3 and the Optima mini projector, but some newbies peaked your interest as well, like Walmart's Stockholm desk. Also, seems like flip clocks are in, as two posts on flip clock trends got you flipping on our site. Lets take a look at the weekly top ten...

That's right, get online not in line. While the restaurant in question, Momofuku in NYC, doesn't try to stand out as a high tech restaurant in the sense of being filled with touch screen tables or robot bar tenders, it differentiates itself in the way that reservations are made.
It's hard to come up with a person who still relies on landlines to keep in touch with all the cell phones out there right now, but there's apparently still a market out there that General Electric had to cater to; hence the creation of their phone-clock combo ideally named, "

When I have been involved in brainstorming sessions at the office....or a heated discussion anywhere near a computer for that matter, Googling something is inevitable. Whether is to prove someone wrong or to continue the conversation, additional info is always a welcome thing. Researchers from Keio University in Japan agree, and have taken this one step further.

We know what's really been holding you back from building a wind energy farm in your backyard is the fact that turbines clash with the rest of your décor. Well, Philippe Starck is here to rescue the renewable energy industry with his Democratic Ecology.
Though we were excited to hear the Playstation team was working on making our pricey PS3 investment worthwhile by adding a slew of new features requested by the community, it seems they've run into a few issues this time around.
While Flickr browsing, we happened to stumble upon a number of Craig's wonderful
In terms of hygiene, we'd say the the auto-sensing bathroom faucet is right up there with the auto flushing toilet/urinal. And despite thoughts otherwise, it's really the faucet that's got more cooties awaiting to hitch a ride, not the toilet handle or seat.

The Ikea Lack shelf seems to be a popular choice for adding custom doors. I even did it for my own
In keeping with this month's green theme, we found ten amazing items on Etsy, some of which are made from recycled or repurposed items. There are CD holders made from old calendars, USB drives made from vintage model cars, and a camera bag built with a trashed cassette tape. Enjoy...

At first glance, it looks like any other relatively-upscale design that may or may not break the bank. That's what we initially thought, too, until we found out it was from a Walmart series called "Stockholm" and it breaks no more than a few piggy-banks at most.

We've seen quite a few different type of USB memory designs, but never in porcelain before. These beautiful (and perhaps a bit delicate) porcelain 1 GB memory sticks are handmade in Germany and currently only available via
Branching from the standard earphone designs,

Modding PCs and customizing peripherals is a thing we love here at Unplggd, but when we saw this leopard PC mod, we thought, when have you gone too far?
Living in tight quarters does not mean you must have televisions and computers laying all around (though that kind of sums up my apartment in a nutshell). Why not hide all those bright screens with an a sleek sliding bamboo closet door from
