Top 10 sci-fi movie gadgets that someone really should be making
Last week's Back to The Future hoax (in which evil internet fibbers said that we'd actually reached the date in the "future" that Marty McFly heads to) got me thinking. To be precise, it got me thinking "WHERE THE HELL…

GALLERY: Swedish ISP has Bond-style datacentre in a nuclear bunker deep below Stockholm
Step down 1&1, you no longer have the coolest datacentre. That honour now belongs to Bahnhof, at their Pionen datacentre, buried deep in the bedrock below Stockholm in a former nuclear bunker. I don’t know where to start – it uses submarine engines! It has waterfalls! There’s 1,500,000 Watts of cooling! It can withstand a hit from a nuclear missle!

Matrix Unplugged chair created from submarine's torpedo jaws
If you're desperate to spend $37,000 dollars on a chair, then look no further. Even if only because you'll struggle to find many others at that price.
This is the Matrix Unplugged chair, and if you're excited about the name, you'll be ecstatic when you hear that the chair was fashioned out of the prototype of a nuclear submarine. Sadly, there's no nuclear technology on the chair itself, although it does boast motorized hydraulics to enable you to get into a perfect sitting position.
And if that's not enough for your $37,000, the designer of this one-of-a-kind chair, Zoran Milivojevic, will customize it in any colour you like, if it doesn't quite match your existing furniture. Although the red does go rather nicely with that picture in the background.
