If you’re looking for particularly decadent accessory for your HTC One, perhaps you’d be interested in a wonderfully elaborate gramophone-inspired passive speaker? If you’ve got $8,000 lying around, at any rate.

If you’re a web developer there is a good chance that you’ve had to mess around with a lot of CSS code. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to work with, but there are tools out there that try to guide you along the way. CSSDesk.com doesn’t provide any direct guidance, but it can help you quickly test out CSS expressions to see if they are doing what you expect them to be without constantly having to reload a page to have your change take effect.
You probably wouldn’t want to do an entire website design using CSSDesk, but it is great for fine-tuning individual objects. Things like buttons, boxes, and small sections of sites would definitely be the ideal uses of CSSDesk. There also isn’t anything on the site to distract you from what you’re working on, which means no ads and no unnecessary buttons or links. It’s just you and your code.
The other cool thing is that in a single click you can generate a URL that you can use to share the code with someone else. If you need help with your CSS code that feature could be extremely useful since there isn’t the hassle involved of having to create an account to share the code.

Cuckoo clocks are pretty amazing. I’m always fascinated by the engineering inside of them. They keep pretty good time too. Plus, all authentic cuckoo clocks are made by hand, so each one is unique. It is a fine tradition of craftsmen that are super talented. And now we have the world’s largest cuckoo clock, which is as big as a house.
According to Guinness World Records, this is the biggest cuckoo clock in the world and it is in Triberg, Germany. Of course. It’s a traditional Black Forest cuckoo clock design scaled up 60 times the size of the original. This clock weighs six tons.
The cuckoo bird itself is 4.5 meters long and weighs 150 kilograms. Like the real thing, this clock is made of wood and was carved entirely hand. The cuckoo calls once every quarter hour and then chimes every hour.
Unless you really like Cuckoo clocks, the sound would probably drive you nuts if you heard it all day.

Apparently, Volkswagen has realized that kids who ride Porsches grow up to be adults who buy and drive Porsches. It’s the same strategy that Adobe uses by selling Photoshop dirt cheap to students. But will learning to ride a two-wheeler on this luxurious Porsche balance bike give toddlers a taste for the finer things in life?

The problem with building man made structures in natural wonders like mountain ranges is that they can sore your eyes pretty quickly. Some parts of the world should be left untouched! But imagine a bridge like this one, designed to look like a cloud, on top of a few mountains. The views would be absolutely breathtaking and just walking the bridge would be thrilling.

Facebook’s "Like" button plugin has become so ubiquitous across the internet that you probably don’t even notice it sitting on the bottom of nearly every single site you visit. Now, though, that little button is going to stand out quite a bit more—because Facebook has unveiled its first new "Like" and "Share" buttons since its 2010 launch.

Futurism and glamour are inextricably linked in American history. The sleek techno-utopian futures of yesteryear—the ones filled with flying cars, jetpacks, and automatic highways—couldn’t exist without the support of this concept that’s equal parts intrigue and attraction.
