Designer Adika Titut Triyugo has designed some shoes that really suck. The shoes in the picture on the right are actually vacuums. That's right - you can clean your house simply by walking around. There are indicators on the top of the shoes that show battery status and the cleanliness level.

Of course, these aren't being produced because they are just a concept for the Seoul Design Fair, Design For All 2010 competition, but I can actually see these taking off, sadly enough. Paint them red, and that might take them to a whole ...

A lot of people are going to buy into this.” The guys at Scoopertino have made mock-ups ...

Galen Gruman of PC World recently mocked the thousands of people who have pre-ordered iPads because, obviously, those folks will be missing out on this ridiculously blinged-out iPad by Mervis. While all those pre-orders will be delivered by April, the few able to afford this diamond-studded iPad ($19,999) will have an entire extra month of anticipation to savor. Although I have no idea what this means, the 11.43 carats of diamonds on this magnificent beast will be handset in a micro-pave styling and graded G/H in color and VS2/SI1 in clarity. There's something about Apple products that beg for overpriced, bedazzled modifications. Check ...

Claudia recently turned 39, and almost half her life has been spent walking from one photo shoot to the next. While the work is hard, Claudia is most remarkable for the longevity of her supermodel status. "There are a few models whose careers have lasted quite a long time ...
