What's so special about this particular Apple Store, opening in Boston on May 15th - 17th?

With most computers these days, you'll find a monitor, PC tower, keyboard, and mouse, plus who knows what other accessories. The "Bloom" computer features "'side branches' [that] house the PC's sound system and assist in the display of both 2D and 3D images." No word yet on if this concept will go into production.

This followup to the NES-controlled espresso machine builds upon that creation, and adds Wii Nunchuck functionality. Aside from the controller, it consists of "fancy-pants Rancilio Silvia espresso machine, the multi-purpose Arduino micro-controller, and some seriously high-level hacking." Video after the break.

The typically straight-up espresso maker is now controlled electronically, allowing integration of a calendar, sleep timer, wake-up alarm, and temperature regulation

What better way to conserve space than by creating an automated, multi-level parking structure for bicycles? That's exactly what this Japanese company did. Video after the break.

Apparently, a boy got stuck inside a "Lucky Dip" crane game by crawling up the prize chute to retrieve one of the stuffed gems inside the machine. Video after the break.
