The pizza box redesigned
I love it when people find new ways to do/use the things we’ve been doing the same way for ages.

Tab Candy from Firefox
Browsers have largely remained the same as far as user interface goes with the notable addition of tabs. (I love my tabs.) The Firefox team is working on a new concept called Tab Candy which would not only help you manage your tabs more efficiently, but create new ways to share information and browse with friends.
Check out the video below. Fair warning: on a geekiness scale of 10 this probably ranks at about an 8.
Actually, that’s not a bad idea. I should probably rate most of my posts on a geekiness scale and create custom RSS feeds based on each level of geekiness. That way my mom (who sometimes still calls Firefox, Foxfire, bless her heart) would read my blog without fear of coming across posts like this.
The fact that I’m discussing putting a Geekiness Scale on my blog with custom RSS feeds has just bumped this post from an 8 to a 9.
Enjoy the video (it’s probably best to watch it full-screen) and let me know what you think in the comments.

HTC 1 concept phone. iLust.
Going a little double rainbow over here after flashing my optics upon this mobile concept design from HTC with its über minimalistic design and revamped Sense UI.
I nabbed a couple of pix from here (click to make the thumbnails larger), but I think you should definitely head on over and check out the breadth of awesomeness for yourself.
And when I say awesomeness, I mean that this phone will kill the germs on it using UV light whenever you plug it in. If you have another definition of awesomeness I don’t think I want to know what it is.
Awesome cell phone instruction manual
Ingenius concept: instead of taking screen shots of the phone interface, learn how to use your phone using the actual phone itself.
From the creators:
The…book is the main manual – the phone actually slots into this and becomes the center of attention. Arrows point to the exact locations the user should press, avoiding confusion and eliminating the feeling of being lost in a menu.
Brilliant.
From here.
