Hot In The Hive: Serio Glass Speakers

The latest development in speakers from the sound-quality experts at Waterfall Audio are like none you've ever seen before. There are no crazy or cutesy shapes like Lego or Sanrio characters, and no three-in-one capabilities like reading lights, alarm clocks or microwaves. In fact, the Serio Glass Speakers are innovative and stylish because of their minimalism -- small, square, flat, and therefore widely versatile, these speakers can be mounted on the wall, sit discreetly on your desk or shelf, or perch atop their optional floor stand. They come in black, white, or silver, but in case you want to take their sleek little design up a notch, they also come with optional color grills for anyone who thinks they're just too cute to stay camouflaged!


Price: 179.00 GBP

Hot In The Hive: Moshi Voice Control Alarm Clock

Finally -- an alarm clock for the sleeper who really doesn't want to get up. Since my alarm isn't within arm's reach, I always have to physically haul myself out of bed every time I want to smack the snooze button! The techie braniacs at Moshi clearly had everyone's lazy-bum side in mind when they invented the Voice Control Alarm Clock. Now you can shut your alarm clock off (or set the time, or check the temperature, or even set your next alarm time) by simply telling it off -- with its trusty voice control technology. I'm kind of thinking this device is dangerous for those who sleep like the dead (or those who talk in their sleep), but it does sound awfully convenient for us anti-morning people!

Hot In The Hive: Stila Makeup Player

Leave it to Stila to create yet another must-have beauty item. Known for their fun colors and innovative multi-tasking formulas, Stila's smudge pots and lip glazes have earned the company a loyal following. Not to be outdone with their fabulously helpful talking eye palettes, they've recently come out with a product that speaks to both my beauty obsessed and geeky personalities! The Stila makeup player can be described as a train case, sound system and your own private makeup artist all in one. Just download the how-to videos from Stila, load them up onto your iPod Touch (or any other video compatible player), plug it into the makeup player and follow along with the step by step tutorials. The makeup player also comes with some of Stila's best selling items: the One Step Makeup Foundation, and Eye Shadow Trio & #7 Eye Shadow Brush, Convertible Color for cheeks and lips, and their Lip Glaze in Grapefruit. And in true multi-tasking Stila spirit, you can also use the player to blast your favorite music as you put on your makeup or even load up some YouTube videos of your favorite beauty gurus!

TheFind Says: I Love My iHome!

I consider myself pretty technologically advanced. I have a cute little MacBook Pro sitting on my desk at home, and our flat screen Sony Bravia is linked to my boyfriend's computer so that we can watch movies on the TV through his laptop. I have an iTouch and a Blitz (maybe that last one doesn't technically make me savvy, but cuteness must be factored in somewhere to this equation). And yet, with all my bells and whistles, I still felt something was missing. Then, I found her. The iHome LED color-changing speaker system was just the friend I was looking for. I can rotate through multiple colors if I'm feeling psychedelic, or settle her on white and listen to Death Cab for Cutie if I'm feeling mellow. Another awesome feature? The iHome charges your iPod while you listen, so instead of getting dead batteries when you're reading to transfer from home to travel, you're all souped up and ready to go.

Hot In The Hive: Revo Heritage Table Radio

Sure, retro "gadgets" may look cool in a stylishly old-fashioned sort of way, but when it comes to actually using them, our geeky reliance on modern-day tech has us too cyber-spoiled and impatient to put any effort in something that can't keep up with our 3G speediness. The solution? A techie piece of equipment that just looks vintage, but packs all the convenient specs and capabilities of the most recent releases in the gadget world. The Revo Heritage Table Radio has the 60s-style walnut veneer surface, but boasts some seriously modern features in that retro-looking package: an iPod dock, WiFi for all your favorite internet stations, wireless streaming from your laptop, a remote control for maximum laziness, and even an alarm clock in case you doze off while listening to your tunes. It's the perfect device for the music lover who may have an old soul... but secretly can't live without a healthy dose of modern tech!

WhatsWear Has Discovered A Way To Tweet In Gold And Diamonds

Twitter just became a whole lot more relevant to me. For today I learned that Twitter can now be something I wear around my neck... in gold.. and diamonds. Survival of the Hippest is a hot new accessories line inspired by the same social networking system that caused Miley Cyrus to rap and LL to fight even more publicly with Samantha Ronson. Using your TwitterName (or "hashtag" comment if you know what the hell this is), SOTH creates beautiful jewelry -- fairly reminiscent of the name necklaces made popular by Carrie Bradshaw. They are custom-made out of sterling silver, 14k gold and [drool] diamonds, and can be placed on a necklace, a key chain, a bracelet, an anklet or a pin. As SOTH pointed out, wearing your Twitter ID around a visible body part will helpfully point you out to your virtual friends, who they note "may not recognize you from your proper name or tiny Twitter picture"... seriously, a SOTH piece isn't just fashionable, it is your gilded token to making actual flesh-and-blood friends! Also, we must mention these necklaces and bracelets work perfectly as a fun layering piece or as a unique present for your friend who has everything. You can even show these Twitterific pieces to your grandchildren while explaining the Twitter phenomenon. Think about it, they'll most likely be vintage in just a couple decades! When you're not busy tweeting, don't forget to visit our friends at WhatsWear for more unique design finds!

Hot In The Hive: Pac-Man Plug-And-Play Joystick

If you've ever wolfed down an entire pepperoni pie by yourself just for an excuse to hang out at the local pizzeria and beat those kids' scores on the ancient Galaga machine (okay, maybe that's just me), have I got the gadget for you! This super-retro Pac-Man joystick literally looks like it was jacked straight out of the arcade and modernized to fit conveniently on your lap or coffee table. Just pop in some batteries and plug the device into your TV and you instantly have a long night ahead of you in old school gamer girl heaven. With 12 classic arcade games in one compact console, you can officially save the trip to the pizza joint (and the calories that inevitably come with it) and you can geek out in the privacy and convenience of your own home (unless, of course, you want to invite the whole building over for a tournament).

Hot In The Hive: HeartBeats Earbuds By Lady GaGa

By now, you've probably at least heard of the rhythm-thumping Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, if not seen them around town conspicuously perched on the heads of commuting musicophiles everywhere. They're not cheap, and they're certainly not discreet, but they do deliver some seriously stellar sound quality for your favorite mp3s. But what if your style-conscious self isn't crazy about over-the-ear headphones... and even less in love with the $300 price tag? Thankfully, someone equally style-savvy (but perhaps much more "experimentally" so) has designed her own fashionable equivalent without sacrificing the sound value. Lady Gaga's HeartBeats, designed by the pantsless wonder herself, are sleek and chic and help deliver club caliber sound despite their tiny in-ear package. If you're not a serious stickler for sound clarity, you might be okay with sticking to your regular iPod buds, but if you strive to turn your morning walk to work into your own personal runway/dance floor, the HeartBeats may be your next go-to gadget!
