If you've seen the new Star Trek Into Darkness, you know two things: 1. John Harrison is not who he says he is, and 2. the sets are seriously drool worthy. So although I won't be boarding the Enterprise any time soon, that doesn't mean I can't borrow some of set design as inspiration to go boldly...well, you know.

Advances in technology are making excessive wires and cables slowly go the way of the buffalo but, the remote? It looks like we may be stuck with that one for a while. So if you can’t beat it, hide it! (Along with those goofy 3D glasses that seem to come along with every new TV.)

Name: Beatriz Macias of Mid Mod Mom
Location: Mission Viejo, Orange County CA
Size: 120 square feet
Years lived in: 10 years, but only used as an office for 2 years.

The bracelet also displays caller ID when someone rings in and notifies you if your phone has left your perimeter by more than 2 meters, helpful for those chronically misplacing their device or while traveling.

Danish audio manufacturer Libratone has waged war against small sound with a sizable flagship speaker armed with Airplay connectivity and a wooly warm exterior to match.
