If you’re a child of the computer age, then seeing a cursor on your screen is tantamount to turkey on Thanksgiving. For those of us who’ve moved on to tablet computing, the once-ubiquitous cursor is now a thing of the past… or is it? The great Mike Mak has brought us back our always pointing friend with the Big Big Cursor. Doubling as a screen wipe, the Big Big Cursor can be used as a stylus on your touchscreen devices, and comes as either an arrow or the Mac-friendly pointer-finger. For $13 dollars, the Big Big Cursor is a nice way to bring the cursor experience back.

In another takeover move by Google, the company has introduced their own notebook Рthe Cr48 Chrome.  Weighing in at 3.8 lbs, the cpu features a 12-inch display, full size keyboard and 8 hr lifespan.  Another key feature is that the notebook is run solely on flash drives and a cloud system.  WTF.

If you are interested in giving the C4-48 a few runs on Google’s dime, check out their Pilot Program.

The Classic Volkswagen Bus has been the symbol for “flower power” in the 60s and Scooby Doo’s crew in the 70s and 80s. Now, it has been shrunken to speakers for our listening pleasure.

And that’s not all, this bus can play songs from your MP3 player, your computer by USB plug or operate as an FM radio. The other highlights are rolling wheels, functional head and taillights and horn sounds.

Born from the idea of two Italian architects, Vinyl Interior Design is a young company based in Sydney. They specialize in manufacturing and producing vinyl wall stickers, a great alternative to wall paper and stencils. The idea came from the necessity of decorating blank, empty walls without too much trouble or effort: their decals are easy to apply and to remove, and won’t damage your walls.

Vinyl Design will be giving away a PacMan vinyl set fit for any laptop. You can arrange the set any way you wish, as well as choose the colors you want [from the color chart seen in the gallery]. Included in the set are:

• 1 Pacman, 8 cm diameter approx (3,1 inches)
