I love the look of the BMW M3 Alpine White Edition.

"Quickly..." ehhh they stuck with it for like four or five years, Zune 1.0 came out in 2006 (I know, because I own one.)
For the record, Zune 1.0 was kinda cool, even if everyone knew squirting or whatever was a gimmick. The sync software was horrid though, a confusing reskin of WMP9 or something. Zune 2.0 in 2007 is what really made me love the product, everything was better.
It makes theming slightly more consistent but I believe the big reason was Google wants to reserve the plus sign for, well, Google+. Which kind of bugs me since I think Chrome, as a web browser, should try to be as independent from Google as possible (even if I'm a massive G+ user and Google user in general.) And by independent I mean, not slaves to marketing mandates like that, but still can have optimized versions of all of Google's apps.

To the guy who posted the Addidas logo... PLEASE don't turn this into a logo thread. PRODUCTS only! D:

Redesign was an abomination in comparison.
That doesn't even have a number pad.
possibly the best water bottle ever.
Except it's made of glass, a product which breaks easily and creates thousands of tiny, sharp, byproducts.

Yes, but I can only admire. I don't speak the language at all.
Barcelona Chair! An aspiring Mid Century Modern enthusiast perhaps?
It just so happens I am becoming a virtuoso on the matter. Barnes and Noble carries a magazine called Atomic Ranch. You will NOT regret a subscription.
Meanwhile, check out Apartment Therapy
They host some of my favorite setups, :
Barcelona Chair! An aspiring Mid Century Modern enthusiast perhaps?
I am actually not a big fan of mid century - with a few exceptions. Eames and Barcelona chairs I like because they're classic and timeless. But thanks to shows like Mad Men these days everyone over 30 is gathering the banged up old furniture extracted from their parents' homes and putting it on Craigslist as "mid century" with a stupid price tag. It's particularly bad in LA. I'm looking for furniture deals now and there is so much crap out there being sold as chic simply because it's old.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
I have a passion for space age designs and curves, though I enjoy the products of Herman Miller and Knoll. I know your pain though. I am particularly unhappy with the amount of love the Danish "Teak" trend has been getting.
Meanwhile, one of my absolute favorite classics:
Maurice Calka "Boomerang" Desk.

any more pictures man? i have a 15" macbook pro antiglare and yours looks extremely good with the white table in the background!
So Bookmarked!
Might as well share some pics of my own!
My wife loves the Panton chair so we ended up getting a few for our dining table.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but I'll be damned if it isn't the most comfortable chair of its type I've ever sat on - the construction (first totally injection moulded chair) allows it to flex as needed when you sit on it along with its ergonomics. I imagine we'll have them forever and they can easily move around from dining chairs, to secondary seating, to even outdoors.

Thanks!
For the moment, the lighting is always good in my house for about an hour around 3-4pm.
I will snap some more shots tomorrow. 15"? Lucky!

Love those! If I remember correctly, the price point is close to that of the Eames Dsr.
I prefer the Dsr, but Panton chairs have an unmatched appeal in terms of retro design.

Because I just got mine.
Wide lapels and bell bottom's for the wrist. Because 70's style just can return soon enough.

I will probably put this in the OP, but I realize some people live in more crowded and modern cities than others...
If you find a product that you have never seen, and want to know the name, or simply want to share, take a picture and post it here. I have a few building up that I think people on here would appreciate.

I love these shoes, something about them always draws me when I need a new pair. I pretty much just get the same shoe over an over again just with different colors every year.
I feel like I am from the future...
Love the look of this guy on my media center
and I love the look of the black matte xbox controller for some reason
It had a keyboard and it was still skinny!
Also Macbook Pro, but I bet that has been said a million time already.

I still get excited when I go to Chick-fil-A and see these.

I am shocked that the Chick Fil A spicy chicken sandwich has yet to be posted.
One of the best product designs to date!

awesome! thanks so much! im a sucker for seeing unibody macbook pros in nice backgrounds - no idea why but they look spectacular!
yep 15"! i wanted my beloved matte (and high res!) screen and a discrete gpu. 13" doesnt have a 1440x900 display, was too small, and is "only" dual core, and the 17" is just too big and a little underpowered graphics wise for the resolution (1920x1200). 15" at 1680x1050 is juuuusssttt right for a laptop!
Yep, you're right they're pretty close. We tried the DSR as well, but the ergonomics on the Panton were really surprising and really sold us on it.
My personal preference is something closer to Moller chairs (love the warmth of wood), but that's what different rooms - and saving - are for!

The funny thing...after I made the transition to Apple products, my room just started to become more and more minimal and modern, so it eventually had an Apple store look. Eventually it got to the point where placing the thing anywhere looked staged. In terms of tech my setup is questionable but design wise I am very happy.

My favorite Eames chair design is the one used with the Dar and rocker. I had never sat in one before I walked into a store at a local club location, but they are incredibly comfortable!
Took a few pics since I knew this thread would be coming eventually.
That's what I love about them! Can't say I've ever dropped one.
Oh they are amazing, but such a ripoff. I've tried to find cheap(er) knockoffs with no success

I see alot of Mac Book Pros...really? It's a laptop. The Mac Book Air I can see, but the pro is pretty generic. It's subjective I guess. Well since I'm here.
Rims could be better.

Bookmarked! That "Rojo" coffee bag is really cool. Lots of nice stuff on that site.
When Apple released the legendary Macbook-Macbook pro aluminum case update sometime in 2007, or 2008, it sort of redefined how I think about minimalism as far as Laptops. The Air is great, but it was built off of this amazing design, not the other way around.
Anyway, Got some pictures at a local car show. 50's beauty, complete with a cheese burger, fries, and shake in the front. Haha

First thing I thought of. So dope.
Zune HD
I almost feel bad for putting this beauty in a cover and hiding it's sleekness. I occasionally pull it out just to admire the design. Beautiful device design paired with beautiful and functional OS design. That is truly rare.

Motorola Motofone F3
Basic phone with e-ink display made for developing countries. Really wanted one when I last bought a phone but they started jacking up the price and became hard to find.
Casio F-91W
The choice of Al-Qaeda terrorists, apparently. A classic. The ubiquitous blue-bordered one isn't pictured because this is the one I recently bought. Perfect size for my embarrassingly dainty wrist.
Google CR-48
Kicking myself that I didn't find out about this before it was too late and all gone. The perfect looking stealthy notebook computer. Subtle, matte black finish and no logos.

SEGA (Master System --> Master System II, Genesis --> Genesis 2 --> Genesis 3, Sega CD - SEGA CD 2, Genesis + SEGA CD --> SEGA CDX) and Nintendo (NES --> smaller NES, SNES --> smaller SNES, and numerous portables) say: "WTF?!"

The PEBL has a satin touch finish, and you just pull down the top layer and it unfolds magically. The hinge is this weird spring loaded thing you, you slide it down with your thumb and it unlocks and unfolds.

Classic Thinkpad line (no Edge nonsense) is the best designed laptop line. The only notebook brand where functionality is always absolute kind. And in the world where everybody goes for shiny silver thing, LED diodes, huge glowing logos and wild colors, those are the only notebooks that look classy, like a good tailored suit.

definitely all McIntosh products.

since the Eames lounge has already been mentioned, i think the LCW sits right next to it in terms of iconic.

Eames Lounge Chair wins the thread. It is absolutely timeless and has been since 1956.
