Any geek out there has had a conversation with their significant other at some point about the mass of cables that comes along with gadgets and electronics. I can attest that nothing sets my wife to complaining faster than trying to run a surround sound system across the living room.

Apparently the sight of two small speaker wires running along the wall is enough to warrant marriage counseling. If you and your spouse have the same sort of cable woes this rug can help, but your wife won’t like it trust me on that. Rather than hide the cables like a useful product the Cable Carpet uses grooves cut into the carpet to route your wires along with plastic clips to keep the wire in place. The wires lie flush with eh carpet, but you can still see them which pretty much defeats the purpose of hiding cables. Then again if you are a single geek that feels a mass of wires is the ideal symbol of geek virility, the Cable Carpet is a good way to highlight your geekiness. Story and image via Gadget Road
