I'm wondering when consumers will begin to realize that a 3MP camera in an iphone is VERY different from a 3MP in a full-fledged camera. While your ancient powershot may fall behind the bloated ima...

I would add to the sentiment that there should be a judged contest with the addition of a people's choice category. That said, I also think that dividing the contest up by region is a little silly,...

Meh, looks like the red-headed stepchild of the Ligne Roset sleeper sofa. Half the price, yes, but I worry about the quality. Blu Dot is very hit and miss.

Why would you use pins when command adhesives work on practically any surface and don't leave little holes everywhere (and can hold up real picture frames)? This seems like a solution in search of ...

Lovely idea, but the amount of electricity generated by rocking has got to result in a pretty miniscule amount of light, even for OLED. That, and this will be ridiculously expensive considering the...

The end table is actually a hollow box on legs that's been veneered with 5 different types of wood. I built it for our modem, wireless router, and assorted cables to keep the mess out of sight.

I'm not too enthused. The power transfer is very inefficient, and what's the point? You're still tethered too a charger, and in this case you can't even pick your item up and use it as you could wi...

I would guess the environmental manufacturing process is more than offset by the cost of shipping a giant hunk of cement to your local CB2 or your home.

I guess you'd be going "all in" with this one. If someone steals your phone, they get your credit cards, ID, and cash to boot. I prefer to NOT flash the contents of my wallet every time I send a te...

Looks a lot like the Zune interface.

I purchased Eureka vacuum very similar to this about 15 months ago (perhaps the previous model?), and while I agree with all of your points upon initial use, I'm hating the damn thing more and more...

Judging from all the new accounts, I get the impression that this is not so much a "best design" contest so much as a "recruit the most voters" contest.

I like this better than the one night stand. No need to clear a giant area in front of the couch, and no upholstery resting on the floor when opened. More simple moving parts = win in my book.

I second the plywood top edge veneer suggestion. It's the most practical DIY you can manage, not to say a new solid wood top wouldn't be better (just more expensive). Veneering formica sounds hel...

Definitely a great playtable, but I'm not really seeing anything beautiful or innovative about it.

I can understand the cost with regard to the amount of lumber used, but I'd feel much better about this if there was better joinery involved.

Given the construction details, this is definitely worth the price. Great idea and wonderful execution!

It's nice, but this trend is really getting tired.

Slip cast ceramics actually ARE cheap to make, even for the casual craftsman. Beautiful pot, but sweet lord almighty that's overpriced.

Super attractive, and (taking his word that they are strong enough to be used as stools) very well constructed for the price as well.
