At first we thought this was an early April Fool’s sight gag, but it’s not. It’s an actual product from Hammacher Schlemmer, and they’re calling this $150 sports chair Brobdingnagian, a word I’ve been looking for an excuse to use in print for years. For those of us not familiar with the work of Jonathan Swift, that means humongous.
Look and laugh at this 5.5-foot-tall throne, capable of embracing even the most gigantic butt with its 9-square-foot seat. And hey, did you eat dozens of hot dogs on that picnic? No worries, because it supports up to 400 pounds, enough for three or four of our attractive, slim readers. And no matter how thirsty you are, its six cupholders stand ready to accommodate all your beverage-guzzling needs.
We can only sum it up thusly: Brobdingnagian makes you feel like a Lilliputian. Good lord, I love this job.

hO2+ scraper is a design concept entered into the eVoIo Skyscraper Competition, and we’re thinking it must have had a good chance of winning.

Join us in converting your battery fleet to rechargeables, and you could save a boatload of money while protecting the environment. Now Sanyo makes it easier with Eneloop Lite batteries that are even cheaper than their more-powerful brothers. Unlike the higher-powered Eneloop rechargeables, these are aimed at lower-power devices such as remote controls and alarm clocks.
Besides their lower cost, the AA and AAA Eneloop lite batteries are said to charge faster, and have a shelf life of three years before their power is discharged. Available in Japan in June, pricing will start at $8.64 for two 1.2V 950mAh AAs, and $7.09 for a pair of 1.2V 550mAh AAAs. Those are retail prices, and will probably be much lower by the time they reach Stateside. For instance, the standard Eneloop batteries retail for $15 for a pack of four, but you can get them for around $11.50 online.
We’re astonished at Sanyo’s claim that you can save $1000 with a pack of two of these babies over the lifetime of the batteries. Charge them up with the sun and save even more money.
These aren’t the only brand of these long-lasting moneysavers, either. We got a tip last week that comparably priced IMEDION rechargeables top all of these, lasting even longer on the shelf, and they’ve received rave reviews on Amazon.
We’ve ordered bunches of all these and we’re going to be testing them soon, so stay tuned.
Here it is, the PC we’ve been waiting for. Could this be the laptop of the future? The rumormongers at DigiTimes might be pulling our leg, but we hope not because this ultrathin and frameless Acer notebook with a touchscreen keyboard and all-glass display is just downright gorgeous.
Before you get too disappointed, allow us to break the news that this picture is only “a representation” (that’s Fujitsu’s Frame Zero concept in the graphic above), but the good news is that Acer allegedly plans to launch an ultrathin notebook that might look a lot like this in the second half of this year.

As a Manhattan apartment dweller, I love ideas that let you squeeze the maximum utility out of a tiny space, but I’m not sure if the O Kitchen hits the mark. Basically, it’s a giant sphere that unfolds to reveal a complete working kitchen, including a dishwasher, microwave, sink, and refrigerator.
While the renderings all make it look very pretty, I don’t see any counterspace for actually preparing the food, and when it’s folded up, you still have a giant 7 foot ball sitting in the middle of your apartment. If all you plan to do is to heat up frozen dinners, surely a little microwave in the corner would do the trick.
Still, the Brazilian design team are pretty excited about it using lines like: “This inedited (sic) and compacted form with a high appeal of perfect combination between design and functionality composes the futurist tone of this promising project that pursuits the status of sensation and desire of every gourmet:”
Whatever you say.
