Reader skarhead187 has submitted several desktops to the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell pool, and the thing that always stands out most—aside from a great eye for minimalism—is that despite using popular dock application ObjectDock, most of his desktops don't show any icons or branding.

Look at this environmentally-advanced mama jama. It’s called the Aquaduct, and though many are referring to it as a bicycle, it’s got three wheels. That, my friends, is a tricycle. Forget semantics, though, because the Aquaduct not only gets your from Point A to Point B (and occasionally Point C), but it also filters cruddy crap-water into delicious drinkable water using an onboard, pedal-powered filtration system. You simply fill up the back end of the ...

The Fighter motorcycle by the Confederate Motor Company is available in special limited edition form at Neiman Marcus.

Sony has teamed up with the Max-Planck Institute in Germany to create a flexible, translucent display that creates 3D multi-color images from laser beams. The all-organic screen uses a chemical reaction called photoexcitation to render images, where energy moves from the lasers to the screen and “turns on” the photons to emit light. According to tests, the screens have yet to deteriorate after 100 straight hours of use, making this technology a prime candidate for ...
