2010: The Year of the Flat-screen TV?

Topic:

LED or LCD flat-screen TVs are really nice to have, but for most people they've also been prohibitively expensive. Price has really started to drop in recent months, and some of the leading flat-screen manufacturers think that we're on the brink of a huge surge in demand.

LG expects to see sales of flat-screen jump by almost 50% in 2010, according to an ABC news report. They anticipate total sales of 17 million this year, and another 25 million LCD TV sales in 2010. LG also expects plasma TV sales (Bloomberg) to rise about 33% to 4 million in 2010. Flat-screen sales are supposed to kick off this holiday season, and continue to rise through the first half of next year.

Flatshare Refrigerator Concept Wins Design Contest

Topic:

Each year Electrolux holds a design contest called the Electrolux Design Lab competition. The winner of this year's competition was Stefan Buchberger who designed a refrigerator concept called the Flatshare for people who live with roommates.

The concept is a base station and up to four stackable modules. Each module allows a roommate to have their own refrigerator space and can be customized with skins and add-ons. Side handles make transporting the modules easy. The catch seems to be the very limited space. You can’t even get a pizza box in the modules from the looks of the design. Read more
