Wonderlamp Light Piece Illuminates the Contradictions in Life
It’s more than obvious that the design fraternity is more driven by “selling-points” rather aesthetic art. Budding designers sweat more these days hoping their designs would be picked up by tech big-wigs rather than just exploring design and art together. But for Pieke Bergmans and Studio Job, their inspiration was not rising in cut-throat competition of products and gadgets; it was recreating the contradictions in life. Their creation, Wonderlamp, a set of 7 light objects, which is a humble yet glorious representation of everyday objects.
The judicious use of glass in each of the 7 objects speaks of the top-notch ingenuity of the creators. The glass represents a different material in each of these little ideas like the steam in the tea pot, the light beam from a torch, the flow of liquid between two containers and smoke in a pot. The lamp art found a place of honor and prestige in the Milan Design week 2010 given its unconventional and non-materialistic attributes.

Rocket brings some rock and roll to your home
Want to spruce up your home as though it was an extension of Hard Rock Hotel? You might want to consider Rocket then, a new Italian brand that is dedicated to making quirky furniture which will definitely appeal to those of you who have rockstar aspirations.

A guitar-shaped coffee table isn’t all that’s available, as you can choose from cool headphones-inspired napkin holders and mixer clothes hooks among others.

Hamburger Jigsaw Puzzle: This Hamburger Requires Your Kids to Play With Their Food
You must have seen several mothers telling their kids “do not play with your food”. I guess they wouldn’t say the same for this piece of delicious looking hamburger. On the contrary mothers would prefer their kids playing with the same. However, it is a pity this hamburger will never make it your dinner table because this hamburger is a 53 piece jigsaw puzzle created as food for your brains rather than your tummy.
The Oxford English dictionary defines a jigsaw puzzle as ‘a puzzle consisting of a picture printed on cardboard or wood and cut into numerous interlocking shapes that have to be fitted together’. Our hamburger puzzle is a little deviation from this definition. Instead of being printed on a board it is a three dimensional figure in itself which makes it all the more intriguing. Suited to satisfy all age groups this yummy cheesy burger has beef, pickle slices and melted cheese sandwiched in a burger bun; the only sad thing –they are not real.
The credit for the first commercializing jigsaw puzzles has been attributed to a London mapmaker and engraver John Splisbury. Around 1760 Spilsbury mounted a map on a hardwood sheet and cut along the borders of the countries. This was to be used as and educational aide to teach geography to children. For the first time in the late 1800s cardboard puzzles were introduced. By the 20th century the process of die-casting was developed. In this process thin strips of sharpened metal, twisted in complex designs, were pressed against a picture mounted cardboard sheet. The sharp edges produced pieces of the picture and thereby a jigsaw puzzle.
Jigsaw puzzles, since then, have come a long way. Primarily produced for children for educational purposes they are now a form of enjoyment equally popular among adults. The number of pieces in a jigsaw can vary according to the target audience. The level of difficulty increases with the increase in number of pieces. The largest jigsaw puzzle to date is a 24,000 piece puzzle measuring 428cm by 157cm. Going a step ahead, from the two dimensional puzzles there are now jigsaw puzzles that come in three dimensions, similar to our hamburger puzzle. Puzzles are also created for computer games; however the concept remains the same – pieces of a picture are to be joined to produce a complete picture – but the execution is different. That was a lot about jigsaws and by now I guess you are hungry enough to have a real hamburger. Take care not to mistake your puzzle for a real one. You might end up with broken teeth or a broken puzzle.

Yahoo IM worm hits Skype in new iteration
Looks like the Yahoo IM worm now comes in a newer version and will also affect Skype users, so you might want to be more careful and wary when using either IM program from now on. For the Yahoo version, this worm will install backdoors on Windows systems via Yahoo Instant Messenger, while the newer Skpe-enabled (if we can call it that) version is more sophisticated in its social engineering and payload. The malware will come in the form of an instant message through Yahoo or Skype, where you should set your alert flags whenever one of these messages including “Does my new hair style look good? bad? perfect?” or “My printer is about to be thrown through a window if this pic won’t come out right. You see anything wrong with it?” pop up, complete with a link to a Web page that looks as though it leads you to an image file. When the link is clicked, it will show an interface which resembles the RapidShare Web hosting site with a ZIP file for download. Click on it and your computer will be infected once the malware is downloaded and installed. It has been detected as “W32.Skyhoo.Worm”, and will disappear if your computer does not have Skype or Yahoo Messenger installed.
