Fractal 23 is a chic piece of designer furniture inspired by fractals. The design, by Takeshi Miyakawa is made to make the maximum use of space and 23 drawers certainly do that for you.
I am not altogether sure that one would be able to pack any more junk into 23 drawers or five drawers if they share same volume. In fact, once you subtract the space that the drawer parts take up, you probably have less space, but it does give you the potential to be more organized and what you lose in space, is made up for in awesomeness.
DVICE point out that to make use of all 23 drawers you will need to place the chest of drawers in the center of the room. I disagree; it could be in a corner as long as you had enough space to rotate it.

According to New Zealand computer Scientist Peter Gutman, the Storm Worm Botnet can be classified as one of the world’s top 10 super computers. There are between one and ten million computers infected with the Storm worm. Peter Gutman made his calculations based on combining the number of CPUs and the amount of RAM in the infected PCs. With approximately 1-10 million 2.8GHz P4s and 1-10 Petabytes of RAM the Storm Worm Botnet has access to more computing power than the top 10 supercomputers combined.
The Storm Worm has spread primarily through infected email attachments, video attachments and infected web pages. The most recent being a malicious .exe file on a page titled “Download Tor.” The rootkit that the Storm Worm installs makes it all but impossible to remove from an infected PC. If you have been infected with the Storm Worm, the easiest means for removal is a fresh installation of Windows.
It should be noted, that the top 10 supercomputers are always on and optimized for performance. Computers in the Storm Worm Botnet do go offline from time to time making the amount of CPUs and RAM at its disposal sporadic. What Peter Gutman’s calculations do show, however, is the growing menace that the Storm Worm has become.

Are you a cigar lover? And a geeky person? If so, let me persent the Circuitboard Cigar Case that will probably become your favorite accessory in no time so you can show off the geeky + cigar addictions.
On the other hand, if you don’t like cigars think of other items you could place inside the circuitboard case, like Nintendo DS cartridges, USB memory drives, or a bunch of mini screwdrivers.

We already talked about a strange shaped (and hideous) purse which was the Chicken, but this time the item is more inclined to the geek & retro style – I’m talking about a Diskette Handbag in case you didn’t notice.
In each side of the bag there are six genuine diskettes, think of it as a good way to show off your geeky side to everyone, or not…
A removable, magnetic latch holds the top edges together. It can fit keys, a cellphone, an iPod Mini, a wallet, and a few paperbacks. And make you look totally sweet!
Price: $55
