Art Lebedev lets loose "Dosugus" cushion

Art Lebedev may be best known round these parts for its OLED fixation and the long, drawn out means in which it applies it to an actual product, but the firm also regularly churns out a number of decidedly more low-tech but equally geeky items -- a range that it's further expanded today. That comes in the form of the "Dosugus" cushion, which should be a familiar sight to anyone of a certain age and would likely warm the cold, nerdy heart of anyone that receives it gift. At under $30, it also costs about the price of a couple of keys on the Optimus Maximus keyboard and, what's more, it's actually available the day it's announced.

I want to see that Kate.jpg file.... sounds hot

[Jeff @ Dec 19th 2007 5:20PM]

Wow. Good call.

You're right.

[Jordan @ Dec 19th 2007 4:51PM]

lol... pron folder.

[waiownsyou @ Dec 19th 2007 4:57PM]

lol @ the Pron folder and Trojan.exe

[Andrew @ Dec 19th 2007 4:58PM]

I would usually label this tacky or cheesy, but I actually kinda like it.

[AlexL @ Dec 19th 2007 5:08PM]

How ironic. In this case, having trojans in there affords the user protection, rather than harms the user.

[Nubaeus @ Dec 19th 2007 5:16PM]

This pillow costs like 1/6th of an Optimus key at the rate Optimus is going.

[debugy2k @ Dec 19th 2007 5:16PM]

horoscope.exe ....we all know that's adware...lol

[Hax Or @ Dec 19th 2007 5:16PM]

Can it be customized? If so, please add the following directories:
TELIX, ZMODEM, QUIKMENU, THEDRAW, SIERRA, LUCASARTS, DOOM

[JDigital @ Dec 19th 2007 5:20PM]

It should be in alphabetical order.

[Colin B @ Dec 19th 2007 5:25PM]

/w FTW, my friend...

(it is in alphabetical order, from left to right and then top to bottom.)

[redspear @ Dec 19th 2007 5:26PM]

It is in alphabetical order. It is just that is from left to right instead of being up to down

[JDigital @ Dec 19th 2007 5:29PM]

Silly me, can you tell I'm in a hurry?

Still weird being sorted like that...

[Jeff @ Dec 19th 2007 5:22PM]

Too many files with names over 8 characters, and there's too many folders that should probably be in the root dir are inside this "always" folder, particularly CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.

[FuzzyCat @ Dec 19th 2007 5:41PM]

Wow, what utter crap!

[hooeezit @ Dec 19th 2007 5:51PM]

wo..wo...hold on there! 'Hiberfil.sys'?? That's way uncool. We only used to have rocker switches to turn the computer on or off. Hibernate? Oh Puhleeeze!

[abdiel.aviles @ Dec 19th 2007 6:08PM]

real geeks use Linux, not DOS!

[thethirdmoose @ Dec 19th 2007 6:09PM]

by C:\always, I assume he means ~/always, right? What's up with all the escape sequences?

[whatishalo? @ Dec 19th 2007 6:11PM]

Can we add [baby_got_bak] ?

[terryindtw @ Dec 19th 2007 6:13PM]

The shipping charge for this and a T-shirt is 60 bux. No thanks!!!

[drybarr @ Dec 19th 2007 6:25PM]

I can't believe these guys are a well known and seemingly respected name in Industrial Design industry. Unless the brief for all their stuff is "get featured on engadget", all of their designs are solutions to nonexistant problems and gimmick funny-for-two-seconds products. Their motto, "Design will save the world" certainly doesn't echo in their portfolio, as I have yet to see something truly innovative.

[Aaron @ Dec 19th 2007 8:59PM]

Please show us your work.

[PeterF @ Dec 19th 2007 6:33PM]

Look! A product they can actually produce and ship!
They probably still won't though. What is with this company? Its just bullshit.

[Emory Dunn @ Dec 19th 2007 6:56PM]

In a truly geeky way that is kinda cool. Hooray for geekiness!

[Fernando @ Dec 19th 2007 7:20PM]

Optimus, lol, nice way of advertising

And LOST and kate.jpg, he must be a Lost fan

[Bernhard @ Dec 19th 2007 9:44PM]

I want one with a BSoD!

[jaredseth @ Dec 19th 2007 9:48PM]

I've been wondering why no one makes those. You could call them BSODT's™

[jaredseth @ Dec 19th 2007 10:07PM]

Never mind. They do: http://www.errorwear.com/index.php

[thethirdmoose @ Dec 19th 2007 10:36PM]

Rule 34.

[E71 @ Dec 20th 2007 7:58AM]

Do they charge by the thread? I'm too scared to purchase a whole cushion from Art Lebedev.

[Mikey-D @ Dec 20th 2007 10:31AM]

That is geeky cool! Wonder if my wife would buy that for me for Christmas :)

[sirius @ Dec 20th 2007 3:16PM]

That's totally cool =D

Too bad can't have one.. or two =( Where do they sell it anyway? Is that some US based thing?

BTW... Can u add 3rd party programs? What happens after format/fdisk?

C:>cls
C:>shutdown /f

[KO'M @ Dec 20th 2007 3:41PM]

autoexec and config.sys should be in c:\

Oh... Joke.

[zoara @ Jan 15th 2008 9:25AM]

ALWAYS in MY_DREAMS. I like.
