There are two types of advertisement. The first is the obvious, unimaginative and somewhat traditional “Here’s my product – isn’t it great” type that leaves little, if any impression, and there’s the type of advert that, invariably though the use of surreal imagery, forces us to sit back and take …
This pod-like contraption reminds us of the sort of devices you see in starships that serve to hold the crew in stasis whilst they are flung to the far reaches of space, and for that reason alone, we like it.
However, you won’t be travelling quite that far in this Carbon …
As regular frequenters of TFTS will know we like to take a break from the tech wizardry and gadgetry every so often and share with you some of the more curious and frankly bizarre items we’ve come across during our relentless quest to find material for you, our esteemed readers.

A number of MP3 players have caught our finely honed geek eyes of late and, although by no means as retro in appearance as the wonderful Signeo SN-A800 featured previously here on TFTS, there can be no doubt that this distinctively styled MP3 player from MPIO is a rather tasty …

A concept of the Russian …
We have featured a few futuristic keyboards here at TFTS but as to whether they offer any hint concerning the future of keyboard design is quite another matter. Personally I cannot see either the Comibmouse or the Safetype as heralding a new dawn in keyboard design and, whilst Microsoft’s WED …
We’ve previously featured various USB memory sticks on Thoughts from the Sidelines, all of which have been fairly wacky in design and none of which can even be vaguely compared to the Ice USB fob produced by the UK based company Mii Stor. But this is by no means any …
Of the many future car concepts we have seen of late here at TFTS Towers, the Audi Quattroflex, which has the distinction of winning a “Best Use of Technology Award” at the Interior Motives Design Awards 2006, is certainly one of the most visually striking.
