Seemingly ergonomic, tiny pillows support various points of your body for a...

These concept virtual goggles don't take into account any, you know, technology that actually exists, but I don't really care. Maybe it's the curves, maybe it's the slick-looking display or maybe it's the beautiful woman wearing them, but they look damn cool to me.

Escalator Ads Are the Most Awkward Way to Advertise [Badvertising]
via Gizmodo by Adam Frucci on February 13, 2008
Here's a creepy way to advertise a hair salon: stick the lower half of some guys face at the bottom of an escalator, and place various hairstyles on the stairs. As the escalator moves, said guy gets a new haircut with every stair that passes by. Creative? Yes, definitely. Unsettling? Oh hell yes. It's at a mall in Mumbai, so it's not like I'm going to be forced to see it anytime...

Audiophile Deathmatch: Monster Cables vs. a Coat Hanger [Monster Cables]
via Gizmodo by matt buchanan on March 02, 2008
Whether or not Monster Cables are worth it is a war that has raged since home theater immemorial.

In one corner, Monster 1000 speaker cables. In the other, four coat hangers twisted and...
