  • "ummm... I'm in agreement with everyone else... why do you need a 2nd larger spout for filling when you can remove the entire lid to get a MUCH bigger opening?!?!? Sounds like they wanted 2 spouts and then tried to figure out how it can be used... Also is there a lot of water botles with a large lid opening? And there's still technically a undercut where the thread meets the rest of the body - and as everyone else says - the extra spouts creates more areas where mould can develop"

  • "I'm not going to argue about the merits of the lightning port as the sole audio output but can people really stop talking about charging and listening to music at the same time. This happens I'm sure but it happens ALOT less than people seem to claim. Seriously how often do you have the iphone plugged in while listening to music? I admit I have done that but I end up using bluetooth when I'm charging.Bluetooth is ready to take over wired audio - especially for the masses who are simply streaming 256kbps audio or youtube videos. with AptX (which Apple doesn't seem to support) and AAC codec supported inside bluetooth they produce good enough audio for 99% of iPhone users. The 1% are audiophiles and will 1) not use an iPhone 2) will have a seperate DAC connected to the iPhone (usually via the lightning port...) to power their power hungry headphones...The transition will be painful for some users but honestly the freedom with wireless headphones are great - for a device that is generally used on the go. Take a look at all the GOOD headphones being released in Bluetooth - Bose QC35, Sennheiser Momentums, Parrot Zik (which by the way still uses the lower quality SBC codec), B&O H8... these are some of the company's higher end headphones with BT...."

  • "Surely we are getting "punkt"?!!If not I feel sad that people can be convinced to pay $300 to get another phone so they have the PRIVILEGE not to use the web... Mind you they still want to be able to text and call people..  maybe they should learn to turn off mobile data? Or the phone even!? "

  • "As much as I like the folding mechanism do you think it's an "over-engineered" solution? Folding a shelving unit is handy for transporting, either to store or from one home to another but in reality how often would you actually NOT use the shelf to the point you're need to store it away?Even in the photos, the shelves are used as permanent storage solutions....Just saying :P"

  • "Really like the idea... But has anyone used it? Even in the video it looks a little fiddly when you're pulling the tape. Looks like you have to push the dispenser back down on to the tape. It would be great for using small bits of tape though "

  • "I’m with the others. design should be accessible. Although protection should be afforded to designers these designs have reached iconic status and I doubt people will be confused when they see the furniture in "everyday" households. Meanwhile smaller designers get they items ripped of all the time! "

  • "Hmmm it's an 'fun'concept. But hardly viable. It seems to be very labour intensive - with each booth needing a human. Also as previous post have indicated people's indecision will create huge lines!To be honest maybe a system where you can drive and pickup shopping you pre-purchased online would be better.... You can get even fatter - just pop open the trunk and get someone to place a box of your grocery straight into it..."

  • "Agree with Juan. Seems like a great concept but doesn't look like anyone tried mocking it up to see if it works! Water will generally flow towards the path of least resistance - and taking the food particles with it. So once the centre fills up water will start flowing towards the meshes and it will clog. Also seems very deep. It would be better if they can develop for existing sinks - most sinks all ready have built in collector (albeit very large)"
