Twisty Curvy Charging Device, Dock and Tripod for iPhone

Twisty Curvy Charging Device, Dock and Tripod for iPhone

Spotted on Fastcodesign, the Bobine is one of the hottest iPhone accessories available on the market of consumer electronics. What makes it so special and why we think it's hot? Well, let's start with the beginning. The Bobine is a charging cable, with e built-in USB, all wrapped in a flexible metallic gooseneck. Now the interesting part: you can bend it in whatsoever shape you feel like and it stays like that, offering you different viewing angles. Ever seen a "floating" iPhone? Connect it to the un-cable and see what happens. But this smartphone accessory is not used only for charging, you can easily adjust it into a tripod. All you have to do now is look for that perfect spot and take awesome pictures.

The Bobine, designed by [Fuse] Chicken was an instant success. Due to its cool design that made it so appealing, 10,000 units were sold in less than a month and a half. Switching the annoying maze of cables with a simpler solution brought Jon Fawcett to the spotlights. The designer explains why the Bobine works so well, giving his own experience with the charging dock as an example: "I no longer have cables laying all over my desk. They are all standing up in the air and my desk is clean". The Bobine is also available for Android devices.

Scandals: Alleged Wine Butt-Chugger Holds Absurd Press Conference to Deny Butt-Chugging

Scandals: Alleged Wine Butt-Chugger Holds Absurd Press Conference to Deny Butt-Chugging

How many times can you squeeze the phrase "butt-chugging" into one press conference? Attorney Daniel McGeHee — who represents a University of Tennessee frat member rumored to have ended up in the hospital due to, ahem, "alcohol enemas" — seeks to find out in the video below. McGeHee and members of the fraternity in question gathered in front of media to deny the butt-chugging allegations, and also to deny that the student in question "may be a gay man." (Sigh.) Behold as McGeHee, flanked by an army of 20 year-olds in suits and sunglasses, tells the journalists, "Shame on you for having reported lies and incorrect information." They plan on taking legal action against "whoever has violated [the non-butt-chugger's] constitutional rights and the list is as long as your arm."

So what did happen that fateful night? Apparently the brothers held something called a "Tour of Franzia," which according to Urban Dictionary is when a group of people "race to finish a bag of Franzia wine, and then ride bikes." Okay. Here's the press conference that still doesn't answer the question if wine butt-chugging is the new vodka tampon-ing:

Curve BT iDock

Curve BT iDock

For those of us that rely on our mobile phones for most, if not all, of our calls, a wireless handset is worth consideration. I recently received a sample of the Curve BT iDock to try out, and despite my reservations of adding yet another item to my desktop, I'm actually pleased with its look, feel, and function. At times our mobile phones can be a little awkward to hold, but the Curve's handset is comfortable and more appropriate for longer conversations. It can connect to 2 devices (think iPad + phone) simultaneously and your iPhone/Android can sync and charge while on the dock to avoid losing any of that precious battery life.

Works with iPhone, iPad and and Android.
Ideal for use with Skype, Google Talk and VoIP computer telephony.

Designer: David Turpin.

Thrill Murray: A Bill Murray Coloring Book by Belly Kids

Thrill Murray: A Bill Murray Coloring Book by Belly Kids

Nothing has made me want to bust out my markers and crayons more than this Bill Murray coloring book. The UK-based Belly Kids sought out 24 illustrators to design images of the beloved Bill Murray and compiled them into this ridiculously fun coloring book entitled Thrill Murray.

The illustrations are based on the characters he's played so you'll definitely recognize the ones included whether you're a movie lover or not. I don't know about you but I can't get enough of this and luckily it's available now!
