"It'll probably be secure enough, and with the addition of that flexible mesh that is sold as 'anti-slip matting' for car dashboard, I'd definitely trust it.  My first thought is that it could have a rigid base and a fold-down handle, so that drinks, phone, charger, newspaper etc can be easily carried from one desk or room to another. "

"Unnecessary maybe, but the pump is a convenient dosing mechanism, and there's no reason that it need be single-use.  Of course the distribution method that would have the least environmental impact would be dry powder, but in humid countries (where you most benefit from electrolytic drinks) you would need to think about how to keep the powder from absorbing moisture from the air.  "

"> Judging by AK's well-appointed workshop and photography studio, he's making a living doing this He describes himself as a professional [pc] modder, and videos on his website suggest that component manufacturers use his creations at trade show stands to draw attention, and as give-away prizes. His 'making of' videos appear well produced and include motion time lapse. "

"Superb! "

"Haha, I like the inclusion of an ESP (electronic shock protection) switch... the player could easily contain gigabytes of solid state memory and simply rip the CD to a lossless format within 5 minutes of it being inserted.  "

"You're not out of step here Jim, almost all volume buttons are arranged so that leftwards is quieter and rightwards is louder... and this is indeed the direction your first finger would move in if you use your thumb and second finger to rotate a volume knob - clockwise is louder. As Aiden above has noted, one of the product renders had its volume buttons mislabelled, and Rain made a thing of it in the article.  (Interesting: volume knobs are turned clockwise to go louder, but taps are turned clockwise to turn the flow of water off.)"

"It's not designed to be a laptop computer replacement. A better description would be  'like a Mac Mini with an auxiliary touchscreen'.  Laptop ergonomics are sub-optimal, since the screen and keyboard are adjacent to each other. Additionally, laptops are awkward to use even if you are using an alternative monitor - they take up a lot of desk space.   "

"The Fast Company article doesn't indicate that the resin is HDPE. It does expand a bit upon Karst's claims "it composts if there is enough heat"... which isn't what I'd call biodegradable.  I agree that non toxic resin is a marketing term. "

"$80? Oh well. The addition of the hammock to a common design isn't a bad idea, but the price seems high. "

"One-legged camping tables are nothing new, I bought one years ago from a 'tat shop' for a couple of quid - though it was just a roughly 8"x8" square plastic top with the edge raised maybe 1/8" to stop glasses falling off. "

"Making an electrolyte concentrate easy to use very regularly is a good idea. Reduce friction to hydration, good. Making it look like hand soap is... such a bad idea that it is laughable."

"There's a scene in Red Dwarf when Lister gets distracted and sprays shaving foam into his armpits... Pressurised tins of deodorant and shaving down not being dissimilar. In the sane series, Lister's room mate Rimmer accuses Lister of swapping out Rimmers tube of toothpaste for a tube of KY Jelly."
