Nothing worse than an unpleasant buffet though. I hate it when the sandwiches fall into their three constituent parts.

Does he just sit around thinking "A video cassette...BUT ROUND, BECAUSE CORNERS ARE OLD FASHIONED... yeah, and ...a deck chair, BUT WITH A LIQUID GEL MEMBRANE INSTEAD OF FABRIC, BECAUSE FABRIC IS, errrr, WEAVY AND, AND OLD"?

Why is this crap still in the list of topics? Its a fan. Its not a very good fan. This whole thing about buffeting is utter crap. A fan turning slowly still gets the air moving. You don't have to have a fan set to full hurricane speed if you don't want to. Its a techno gimmick for the mindless iphone generation who have not learned a fucking thing from this global financial crisis and will, for no reason other than being too weak to resist the need to have the very latest "cool item", go and spend hundreds of pounds/dollars/euros on a fan that basks them in a sense of self-value and allows them to feel like they are buying into a lifestyle of success and discerning taste.
This kind of shit is like crack. People are addicted to it. People who should know better will go and buy one of these, on a credit card probably, regardless of whether they need one, or whether its effective, or whether in the current climate they should really be spending 10x the average market cost on a weak arsed bit of marketing fluff. They'll just need to have it on their desk so they feel good about themselves.
Sickening. I hope they all develop faults and have to have the fan that's probably hidden in the base unit replaced under warranty.
*Switches on Emerson 12", set to low speed, to cool off from rant. Now that's a stylish fan, motherfuckers. If you want to be cool, get a vintage Emerson. Its the perfect fan for today's climate.

I bet this is an R&D by-product to fund a hovercar using upscaled air-multiplier (tm) technolology.
It fucking better be.

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...

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.

the video on that page is mildly retarded

anyone know what film this gif is from?

^ 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

I bet it still gives you arthritis of the face if you sit directly in front of it for 10 minutes.

Finally! A fan I can stick my wang into.
- version30
there are cars you can buy for $6,000 and cars you can buy for $6,000,000. to say this fan is overpriced is ridiculous, it cost less than a consumer digital camera, an slr lens, and several other things that are "just as useful"
- i can buy a fan for 10 bucks, which does the same job that this does.7point34
- my point was point will buy what they can afford, not just what they need.version3
- just arguing your point of usefulness7point34
- who needs a 6 million dollar car? hence why "just as useful" was in quotes, for ironyversion3
- i have a 6 million dollar car... it's 5.98 million times more useful than yours7point34
- hahaha, no backseat and a bonnet to hold 1 piece of luggage i assume? ;)version3
