Jabbas Palace Bookends

Accurately reflected, and based on Jabbas Palace. This heavy set of high quality poly-stone bookends depict Princess Leia Organas valiant attempt to save Han Solo, who hangs frozen in carbonite, in the corner alcove of Jabbas trophy room. (at 7Gadgets.com)

Insitu Wall Planters

Living walls are becoming more and more prevalent recently, and various arrangements have been popping up lately on variations on the concept. Insitu wall planters achieve a living wall through a grid frame to attach pots too which can easily be added to any wall. Made from powder coated steel and finished in either black satin or white gloss enamel, Insitus planters are available in a range of five standard sizes. (at NOTCOT)

ARQuette Lamp

Memento Mori

Memento Mori is an electronic clock if the form of human skull. The clock is a red projection on the forehead bone. The time looks like integral part of the skull. This project is our reflection about passing of time and the shortness of human life. (at Design Spotter)

IdeaPad Y560d

The 15.6-inch IdeaPad Y560d poo poos NVIDIA’s 3D Vision, and instead utilizes TriDef’s 3D technology like Acer Aspire 5738DG. The solution, which combines a specially coated screen, software and special polarizing glasses, can convert 2D content to 3D content, but in our previous experience we’ve been less than impressed with the quality of the end result. And unlike Toshiba’s Satellite A665, TriDef doesn’t support 3D Blu-ray content. Yeah, so we’re hesitant about all that three-dee stuff, but the rest of the machine looks mighty tempting. It’ll be available with Intel Core i3 through Core i7 processors, an ATI Radeon HD5720 GPU, and up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM. It will also apparently have Lenovo’s RapidDrive technology as an option, which marries a regular hard drive with an SSD for faster boot times. Just don’t put on those 3D specs yet, the Y560d won’t be available until the end of the month and will start at $1,200. Check out some of the press shots below and if you’re still digging for some details the full press release is after the break. (at Engadget)

Swing Clocks

Watch as your friends take hilarious double-takes once they realize the clock is apparently floating and swinging itself. Granted – it’s just a timepiece.

(at Think Geek)

Macbook Card Holders

If you want to make sure all your future business partners know that you bleed Apple, this MacBook is the only one to buy.

There are miniature versions of the MacBook, the MacBook Pro, and the MacBook Air (just when you thought it couldn’t get any skinnier).

(at Think Geek)

HP Pavilion dv6

The Pavilion line in general has graduated to etched metal casings not unlike you’ll find in HP’s Envy line. It’s definitely a step up from the gloss of the previous generation without sacrificing much in either price or performance. There are four new Pavilions in all, but the one that offers something truly differentthat multitouch displayis the dv6.

The touchscreen is optional on the dv6, which makes sense if you’re going to use its 15.6-inch HD display primarily for multimedia. And as a multimedia notebook, it holds up: the dv6 also has up to 1TB of storage, VGA, eSATA, HDMI, and several USB ports along with both Intel and AMD processor options. (at Gizmodo)

Battery Mug

Most of us don’t start functioning until we’ve had our caffeine intake to get our internal batteries started. As soon as you pour your hot beverage into this mug, a battery image on the side starts to appear and fill up. And naturally, the battery will decrease as the beverage cools down or run out.. that’s when the battery needs to be filled in again! (at Holycool.net)
