My Living Room Is Too Spartan

This is a follow-up to my post about kitchen technology, but not related enough for me to demand you read that first. Sadly. See, when I have enough money to furnish my kitchen with state-of-the-art machines, I'll also be able to afford some of the following.

Tables…

• that roll out of a cupboard*
• that act as a universal remote** (video below)
• that project glowing images onto themselves***
• that are covered in newspaper articles**** (video also below)
• that have speakers in the legs
• that have USB hubs

Seats…

• that are basically foam cubes†
• that have embedded speakers††
• that are made with thermo-sensitive fabric
• that are made of inflated metal†††

Lights…

• that are liquid-cooled*
• that collapse** (video below)
• that have zippers
• that actually have a pleasant colour***
• that are on fire! ****
• that display the whole rainbow at once! ***** (video below)

Other things my Living Room Of Awesome will have are: invisible speakers; an iPhone projector†; an interactive TV; multiple Rambler Sockets††; a wooden humidifier solely for the pretty; a foot tanner†††; a DDR-esque game pad†††† (see video); and bomb-proof wallpaper††††† (video below).
