Cool Powerstrip Concept

That is a great idea, though I doubt it would clean up the rats nest of cables behind my desk.
 
I've seen those tower power supplies made for outside. This looks like a new twist on that. Cool. Nothing I'd use, but still good for the artsy iMac yuppies.
 
Well, you can buy something really similar right now.

I have two of these, but they're black. Picked them up in CostCo awhile back, really nifty.

the butterfly glasses make me think of Night Elves facial tattoo on their females in WoW, haha

As for the power strip, that's a neat idea, although I use the mounting slot that's built into all power strip's behind and mount it on the wall behind my desk. I think most people overlook that feature.
 
For some reason I thought this was going to be some new innovation in erotic dancing props... now I am just sad.

anyone else notice there aren't any grounding plugs?

The Japanese plug and socket on first glance is identical to the North American NEMA 5-15 standard. However, the Japanese system which is described in JIS 8303 incorporates tighter dimensional requirements, different marking requirements, and mandatory testing and approval by MITI or JIS. Furthermore, standard wire sizes and the resultant current ratings are different than those used elsewhere in the world.

In addition, Class I grounded sockets are used less frequently in Japan than in the U.S with the result that most appliances sold in Japan use a class II, ungrounded plug. Class I grounded appliances should be sold with a round wire adapter.

True, but either way I didn't have any problems using my US plugs when I was in Japan.
 
I'd buy one of those right now, I got a surge strip taped up against the wall, thatd fix my problem so fast!
 
so how far are they from hovering lights and wireless electricity? Amazing! :D :D
 
I like those powersquids, those things beat pretty much anything when you have transformer/plugs. imho
 
Great concept, lets hope these actually see the light of day.

Interesting pair of glasses too, though I doubt those will take off anytime soon :D
 
Certainly seems a lot 'niftier' than the other one posted a few months back (with the pedals to unplug)...
