Rock Band 2
The first edition of Rock Band isn’t even launched in countries like Sweden, but in the US (and other countries of course) you might be able to pick up Rock Band 2 already in September – at least if you own a Xbox 360. A long interview with the Lead Designer Dan Teasdale can be found over at IGN.

Keep the expensive stuff fresh
If you are a true wine connoisseur you probably already heard of this one, but here is a solution that can keep your expensive wines (well at least 3 bottles) fresh for years and years to come.

The Glowing spaghetti lamp
Ok, it is not glowing spaghetti it is in fact made out of optical fiber (surprise! ). One really cool with the Laluna fiber optic lamp is that you can change the color of the lighting by using a turning color wheel:
The lamp is available in two sizes and the price is between $1000 to $1200.

Nike Hyperdunks
Do you remember the product placement Nike did in Back to the future II? Marty McFly put on some weird sneakers featuring some cool auto-lacing mechanism. Nike is about to launch a new shoe inspired by the movie sneaker and it will be available by the end of July. You will not get the auto lacing mechanism though…
