Boex 3D Creative Solutions designed this award winning, quirky bench from a single conversation to see if they could incorporate an everyday office object into a piece of furniture.

The seat is made up of 1600 pencils which are individually sprung. Each pencil can be removed and used.

Tay Zonday returns! This time around he’s back with a new song and video to promote a new drink from Dr. Pepper…and just in case you forgot…*refresh*

I think we all knew this was coming sooner or later.

Apple Inc. will introduce a version of the iPhone next year that can download from the Internet at a faster rate, AT&T Inc. Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson said.

The device will operate on third-generation wireless networks, Stephenson said today at a meeting of the Churchill Club in Santa Clara, California. San Antonio-based AT&T is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the U.S.

“You’ll have it next year,” Stephenson said in response to a question about when the 3G iPhone would debut. He said he didn’t know how much more the new version will cost than the existing model, which sells for $399. Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs “will dictate what the price of the phone is,” he said.

A few excerpts from the article:

If you thought Nas was being controversial with an album titled Nigger, wait until you hear some of the song titles he has for the project…

“I have a song called ‘The Fear,’ ” he said. “The full title of the record is ‘The Fear of the Black Man’s D—.’ That’s some sh– you can get comedy [from], or you can get some seriousness from it when you talk about the barbaric castrations that happened in our past — which is very serious, nothing to laugh at.”

The album’s production is almost over, however, and Nas said Jermaine Dupri and Diddy will be helping him to close out…Thus far, Salaam Remi, Stargate and DJ Toomp are the most notable names who have delivered beats to Nas.

You’ve gotta love the fact that Nas hasn’t bent under pressure, and is still going on as planned with the title and concept of his upcoming album, “N*gger”. Unfortunately, we now have to wait until February for the official drop (how ironic), however, it should be well worth it. It’s going be interesting to see how the hip hop outsiders/critics come at him for this one. We all know how much of a field day they had with hip hop this year. Nonetheless, it should all turn out to be VERY interesting.
