    Hot In The Hive: Serio Glass Speakers

    image
    Alex Gambardella on Nov 17, 2009 6:23 AM PST
    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!


    Price: $24.99

    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!
