Bwahahaa! you crack me up Tm.
I'm inclined to agree with you tho. That's what the whole of the design industry is innit. Reinventing the wheel. Creating problems and inventing solutions to them. Endlessly, For all eternity.
- Reinvent the wheel! THATS A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!
* Starts work right away...Orbit - What if it wasn't round....
*creates 'Shapes' moodboard.Orbit - What if it didn't turn...
* Creates 'Static Solidity' moodboardOrbit - Square wheels are actually better on bumpy roads. I saw it on How 2Khurram
- What if... IT USED ROTATEY TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS HIDDEN INSDE A PLASTIC DESIGNER HOUSING!!!Orbit

- Hahah yes, I saw that too, little kid on a go-kart with square wheels.Orbit

I think this is revolutionary design in protein shaker bottles
You see, previous protein shaker bottles had a plastic grill in the lid to help mix your post-work out whey protein in the liquid. But this always left clumps unless you shook it for a really long time. However, with the addition of a revolutionary spiral ball, you can shake your protein up in a lot less time.
A must have for the gentleman about town.

^ My mom used to make butter from a pint of full fat milk by adding a little spiral ball like that then getting me to shake it for about twenty minutes when I was a kid.
We couldn't afford to buy the nicely packaged designer butter.
- I'VE GOT IT! BUTTER THAT WAS CHURNED BY A BLADLESS AIR-CONE VORTEX!Orbit
- with the danger of sounding like Duncan Ballantyne, did she patent it???Khurram
- * Starts new mood-board.Orbit
- No, she had got the idea from her mom, and her mom before that, and her mom before that, going back to dinosaur times.Orbit
- ba 'eck.Khurram
- You must have forearms like popeye.Khurram
- I've got legs like Olive Oil if that helps.Orbit
- what's wrong with calling your mother 'mum' instead of all this newfangled american heresy I ask you?kelpie

This is exactly the reason I love QBN - such a broad spectrum of opinion and experience!

technically it still has blades in the base.

you lot can be a miserable bunch of cunts sometimes...
It's fucking fantastic, when was the last time you talked about a fan or even noticed it. About the only person who can hold a stick to Dyson is Ive. These people are designing stuff that people notice and provokes a reaction.
I love those videos on the site showing suprise and a smile. Lovely.
I spend 300 quid on a B&O phone because it's beautiful. That why people will buy it

this Dyson thingy looks like fun,
But does it gives you a robot voice when you talk near it??
I only buy fan for the free autotunes.

I think its terrible this whole thing, whatever it is. What's wrong with waving your hand in front of your face like an effete French dandy and puffing air out of your face, like in the good old days before technology had the cheek to progress

oh, I already own this by the way and its magic. Imagine a hot stuffy summers day inside working and instead of being hit by a gust of wind blowing your papers about and generally being cold yet annoying, you just sit in a room at a comfortable temperature. genius.
I say it again (tim), genius

wonders if this technology could be used within trains or buildings on a bigger scale. if there was ioniser involved as well it could create its own fresh air.

I must admit this is pretty cool though. The airzone... the upper cube is impregnated with air purifying ionics and a natural outdoor scent. The base unit is a silicon block housing an ambient light. Heat from the light gently releases the vapour from the cube above, ionising the air and eliminating whiffs to give a natural forest smell.
You can change the cube to get different scents and ambient colours. Pretty damn fine bit of design for purpose and it actually looks really cool too. I have one and I'm very pleased with it.
£200 with a pack of ten ambiens (the cube part) and it really works well.
- Yeah, totally, its innovative design like this that pushes humanity forward. Great to see, well done Dyson.Khurram

So apart from not chopping ones penis off accidentally, what are the benefits of this? It still 'just' moves about doesn't it?
- its "fucking fantastic".
That's the other benefit.Orbit - also, there are some "lovely" videos available on the website.Orbit
- (They show 'surprise' and 'a smile')Orbit
- 'surprise' and 'a smile'? I've seen those kinds of videos before...moth
- do you not read what kelpie sez? he slam dunked us all!Khurram
- that's right, SLAM DUNKKhurram
- THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! THIS IS A TOTALLY NEW INNOVATION.Orbit
- its "fucking fantastic".

Can someone send me more links to video's containing both "surprise" & "smile". i need to be uplifted. thanks.

if it wasn't for Dyson inventing that air multiplicator this thread wouldn't be here and Horp would have never introduced me to the beauty that is Emerson... Thank you Dyson.
oh what a beauty this is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-EMER…- They work a treat. I've had mine for 20 years. Lovely mellow air action and really quiet.Orbit
- what about buffeting?Khurram
- See, thats a misconception. Fans don't buffet, the send a constant spirally wave of calming air. People ...Orbit
- have them up too high thats all. You have to buy a good one with a proper variable speed feature.Orbit
- People eh. I don't know.
* Sighs.Orbit - but they don't multiply do they?
i don't want multiplication, my office is too small for it..janne76 - And do they blow papers about in an unruly fashion? I have lots of papers on my desk.Khurram
- Air, moving at speed, will ruffle or even dislodge the papers on your desk. A variable fan will deal with that.Orbit

what film is this gif from?

So as to remain unblemished by hypocrisy, I hope you wrote that on a Dell computer, Orbit - if you're on a mac, your vehemence on the subject might be somewhat inconsistent with your own actions.
Different strokes for different folks, innit? Most people here would rightly balk at $300 for a fan, just as a lot of orrinery foke would balk at a premium for a computer ,or a pair of jeans, or a music player, or a car, or a, or a...
If all mankind made do with the absolute basic necessities, most of us would be out of a job - if, indeed - there was anything akin to modern civilisation in which to have this pointless argument in.
Actually, fuckit - that sounds good, I'm on board.
FUCK THE FUTURE!
