As crazy as it sounds, this really looks like a great idea in theory. As an alternative to the traditional form sleeping bag, why not make a a giant suit out of the same materials? That's exactly what the folks are Lippi Selk have done.

At someone else's house, this really is the last seat in the house that you want to take. At your place, it could be a fun addition, as a conversation piece only of course.

Labeled as the Discovery Channel's favorite chair on the company's website, it's what you get when you give the Kama Sutra to a design team and tell them to build a chair that provides an environment to act out the acrobatic acts described within.

Futurismic has a great article and links to a University of Washington project where they've embedded circuity and image generation capability onto contact lenses. Lots of potential applications ranging from telescope vision, HUDs, gaming interfaces, and lots more that no one has even thought of yet.

I'll admit to be a noob on Jott so I was pleased to find this article on Lifehacker on various uses for it.

This is the one of the first questions I ask/look into when I see a preview of a new game. Crysis, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, and Orange Box. These are just some of the titles that I couldn't wait to get my hands on. Instead of trying to remember relative performance of graphics chipsets from ATI and Nvidia, I can now use the Can You Run It? application from systemrequirementslab.com.

It uses a downloaded applet to compare your system with the minimum and recommended hardware configurations from the game publishers.

Cracked has this crazy article about some really disturbing insects. Note that this list is focused on insects that are scary in terms of what they can do to humans. The list includes hornets that are the Navy SEALs of the insect world and can take on bees at a ratio of 1:10000 as well as bugs that would like to use our bodies as their breedings grounds. Yummy.

If you're buying real estate in the NYC market, you've got to wonder at some point "What could I get in other places with kind of cash?" The answer to this question (for $1M at least) is covered by Forbes with a slideshow of homes you can get for the same price in various cities around the wall.

I saw the latest incarnation of this awesome mouse while browsing CES reviews and I just ordered on to take with me on the road. I currently use a wireless mini-optical mouse which connects back to my laptop using Bluetooth. I have no real complaints but I've never cared for carrying around spare batteries and the ones in the mouse die at the most inopportune moments.

That's why when I saw this mouse, my first thought was "Why didn't I think of that?" The MoGo Mouse fits into either your PC Card or Express Card slot and uses this spot as a convenient storage location as well as recharge station. When removed, it pops up to act as a regular mouse, with some extra keys for either multi-media or movements mode.

Yoggie makes a Linux server just a little bigger than a USB drive which acts as your all-in-one security appliance. It's completely self contained so it doesn't add overhead to your computer and should in fact free up resources to do more useful things like play games or watch videos online. It's auto-updating with a subscription (one year included) and looks like an ideal solution for the more casual computer users in our lives (e.g. my parents).

They have a range of products that would be great for consumers up through to corporate users. Check out the company's website along with a brief video of the Gatekeeper Pico in action.
