Float
RockPaperRobot!
RockPaperRobot! is a Brooklyn-based design duo who create furniture, lighting, and accessories. I was taken with two tables that they presented at ICFF: Float and Brag.
Float is a table made of 64 cubes strung together with wire, but mostly held in place by magnetic force. The cubes appear as though they are levitating. It was bouncy, too.

QRious QR Code Wallpaper
QRious QR Code Wallpaper by Rollout
Rollout has developed a new wallpaper concept called QRious, covered in QR codes that lead you to various websites that they draw inspiration from. If you don’t know what a QR code is, basically it’s a code that can be scanned like a bar code with a QR reader (you can download various QR reader applications on your smartphone). Once scanned, the code instantly takes you to a specific destination. Easy as pie. Or cake, depending on your preference.

Yubikey used for strong authentication with Apple iPad
Yubikey used for strong authentication with Apple iPad
Yubico, the leader in open source strong authentication, has successfully tested its innovative YubiKey with Apple’s iPad.
The iPad is recognized by many as a game changing device positioned between the laptop and the smart phone which sold one million devices in it’s first month. As this device is likely to be used with many applications requiring strong authentication, the YubiKey is the ideal partner.
Currently, the YubiKey has to be connected to the dock of the iPad using Apple’s Camera Connection kit which provides a standard USB port. Once connected, the iPad recognizes the YubiKey as a standard keyboard. Used with the iPad’s Safari browser, the user navigates to a site which requires the YubiKey. In the login field the user touches the YubiKey button and a securely encrypted one time pass code is generated and sent to the site. The YubiKey requires no client software as it uses the standard USB keyboard interface for sending the pass codes.
The popular single sign-on service LastPass is working on adding YubiKey support to their iPad app. Yubico look forward to other iPad application developers taking advantage of the YubiKey when easy and strong authentication is a benefit.

New Magic Trackpad: not so new 
Apple introduced a new “Magic Trackpad” today, a very nice trackpad to be used instead of a mouse. Remember using it back in 1997? with a 20th Anniversary Macintosh?
