racing
Despite what you may or may not think about F1 racing in light of the
recent hooker-centric events, it's still a pretty damn popular sport. As such, John Pszeniczny has taken inspiration from the racing series to create the F1/Carbon GMT watch. This design's a concept made of carbon fiber — we think to make it lighter so it can, you know, go faster — Swarovski crystals, rubber and metal. One particularly cool feature is the watch's ability to tell you the time at the 18 different F1 circuit cities — so you never, ever miss a race start. It also includes a lap timer, as well as a stop watch. Unfortunately although it's only a concept, we think
Nike should totally snag the design and make them. Or maybe Heidi Fleiss. [

safety
Yes,
we know, being a pedestrian or cyclist can be dangerous, but that won't stop us from driving however the hell we want, as long as this futuristic design never sees the light of day. This new conceptual idea for crosswalks is a bit too
i, Robot for us. Rather than just having pretty painted lines—this crossing would also include a plasma laser barrier that makes cyclists and anyone doing an
Abbey Road impression more visible and helps avoid those nasty vehicular manslaughter charges. We wonder what happens if a vehicle were to cross the barrier?
