Longtime Crave readers, many of whom have been coming back since the late '50s, know that some of us have a few issues regarding exposed wires. But try as we might, we haven't found a suitable facade to hide our unsightly cables. Most of them are about as discreet as a pot full of wires.
The "Tapbox" from Japan's Ideaco, however, is a notable exception. The 4-inch cubes hide the ugliest tangles under the ultimate symmetrical shape, according to Tokyomango, and have even included a retro toggle switch on top for effect.

As we part of our self-awareness work, we've admitted to having issues with exposed cords, an unfortunate situation that has led us on exhaustive searches for solutions. But here's one that had never occurred to us: a pot. Especially a pot from an Italian lamp maker.
The "Multipot Personal Electric Charger" hides five power outlets behind a "soothing light," according to Ubergizmo. Just jam all your cords into the pot like you were making a wire stew and let the lamp make it all seem like a planned look.
The $178 might seem a … Read more
So here's the deal: Wired magazine has handpicked its choices for the hottest gadgetry of the 2006 holiday season, rented out a cool space in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood (the same space where Sony held its PlayStation 3 press preview a few weeks ago), and filled it with those gadgets--which ranged from a $19.95 Zero Blaster toy gun to an Infiniti G35 sport sedan.
Plus, Wired's publicity crew threw a reception Thursday night so that members of the press could check out the selection and enjoy refreshments courtesy of Budweiser and Yellow Tail. Here are a few … Read more
