Limited Edition Blade Runner Hard Drive | LaCie x Starck

I need a new hard drive and I'm looking at this new Blade Runner by LaCie and Philippe Starck.

Limited to only 9,999 units - The device has 4TB of memory and comes equipped with 10GB of complimentary 'wuala secure cloud storage' and user-friendly backup software using high-speed USB 3.0 as its main interface. It also features an LED power button indicator in the shape of Starck's logo.

price: $299

Magic words to convince me to get this: "Limited" and "Starck"

Imagined by Philippe Starck

 The LaCie Blade Runner is more than just a beautifully designed hard drive – it's a creation by world famous designer Philippe Starck that represents the combination of human and machine. The LaCie Blade Runner's sharp, cage-like enclosure surrounds an almost anthropomorphic, liquid metal interior. This metaphor was inspired by a cyber future illustrated in the 1982 movie "Blade Runner," and begs the question – just how much control do we have over technology?

Apple Introduces The New iPad Mini

Apple has just introduced the new iPad Mini!

A new iPad design that is 23 percent thinner and 53 percent lighter than the third generation iPad.

The iPad mini display stands out in all the right ways. It has the same 1024-by-768 resolution as iPad 2 — in a size that’s significantly smaller. So everything looks incredibly crisp and sharp. And since the iPad mini display has 35 percent more screen area than a 7-inch tablet, everything is easier to read and interact with. The iPad mini display is also designed to take greater advantage of every pixel. So apps, magazines, and documents fill the screen, from top to bottom and edge to edge. In portrait and in landscape.

iPad mini with Wi-Fi models will be available in black & slate or white & silver on Friday, November 2, for a suggested retail price of $329 (US) for the 16GB model, $429 (US) for the 32GB model and $529 (US) for the 64GB model. The fourth generation iPad with Wi-Fi models will also be available on Friday, November 2, in black or white for a suggested retail price of $499 (US) for the 16GB model, $599 (US) for the 32GB model and $699 (US) for the 64GB model.

IKEA UPPLEVA | Furniture with Built-in Home Entertainment Systems

WOW! Ikea is moving into electronics!

IKEA combines furniture and electronics to get rid of messy wires, cables and eyesores.

As reported by The Verge IKEA will be introducing their first home entertainment system products called UPPLEVA soon.

“The range includes three designs, all of which incorporate an LED TV, 2.1 sound system with wireless subwoofers, Wi-Fi for smart TV features, and DVD / Blu-Ray players. The company is planning to launch in Sweden, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Denmark, Norway, and Portugal in the fall, with a worldwide rollout in spring 2013. The furniture is intended to hide away cables, and will come in a number of different color options.

A few specs on the system have been announced — the LED panels are full HD (suggesting 1080p) which Ikea says have a 400Hz refresh rate and come in four sizes, with four HDMI inputs, two USB ports, and support for DivX HD files. There’s also extra storage, which means that your Xbox 360 and PS3 won’t need to be left out.

The range, dubbed “Uppleva” (meaning experience) is designed to make your home entertainment simpler to use, with one remote to command the whole system. It’s built by Chinese manufacturer TCL, a company better known in the US under the RCA brand, or as Alcatel in Europe. The base model is set to cost SEK 6,500 (about $995) with a 5-year guarantee, though it’s not clear what’s included at this price point, or how much the full version will cost.”
