The Batman Serving Tray Is My Batsignal

Posted on by

I think I just found my own personal bat-signal, because this awesome Batman serving tray will call me to the table every time. Forget projecting a huge bat signal in the sky. Fill my belly with snacks instead, and I’ll fight crime however you want. But maybe just a little nap first. All of that pepperoni really made me tired. The Joker ain’t going anywhere, except insane. GCPD can keep him busy for a while, right?

This kick-ass serving tray is shaped like Batman’s logo, but full of food instead of brood. It’s perfect for serving your guests during any occasion, whether you are a millionaire like Bruce Wayne, or a butler like Alfred. Fill it up with meat, vegetables, cheese, fruit, desserts, snacks, chips, dips, appetizers, and more. I think we both know that any cheese that touches this tray has to be shaped like the bat-symbol as well. It just makes sense. Your guests will love that.

It’s great for fans of both food and the Dark Knight. Throwing a party in New York? You’ll be the hero that Gotham needs. This officially licensed DC merchandise is made of ceramic, is dishwasher safe and also microwave safe. It measures 14″ x 10″ x 1″, and is available from Amazon for just $11.99.

Venn Diagram Serving Platter: Y ∪ M

Posted on by

Because logic and food are not mutually exclusive. Designed by Thomas Both, this platter’s two-set shape is as natural for veggies and dip as it is for elementary math.

Somewhere out there someone is flipping out that the dip isn’t actually an intersection of the food sets. You can order the Venn Diagram Serving Platter from Uncommon Goods for $38 (USD).

Philips Lumiware LED Platter Lights up Your Dinner Table

Posted on by

Looking for a way to make a statement the next time you have guests over to a party? Well you’ll certainly start up some conversations if you serve up some grub on one of these LED-illuminated platters from Philips.

The Philip Lumiware platter has built-in ambient lighting, which makes it look sort of like the plate is floating off of the tabletop. It can be changed to a variety of different colors using capacitive touch buttons built into its rim.

The platter is weatherproof for both indoor and outdoor use. You can even wash it under the tap – gently – though the dishwasher or microwave is a no-no. I’m also guessing that they don’t want you to put hot food on it, as all of the sample photos show items like fruit, cheese and crackers. The platter includes a wireless induction charger, and you should get about 10 hours on a charge.

You can find the Philips Lumiware platter over at Amazon for about $72(USD).

HGST develops helium-filled, high-capacity hard drives: no, they won’t float away

HGST CinemaStar Z7K500

With certain exceptions, talk of advanced hard drive technology regularly has a tough time escaping research labs. Western Digital's HGST is promising a much more tangible project that could boost data capacities by a wide margin. By filling the gaps between drive platters with less buffeting-prone helium instead of air, HGST can safely fit as many as seven platters in a typical, 3.5-inch desktop hard drive instead of the current five. Going with the lower density gas creates a raft of side benefits, such as fitting more data on a single platter along with reducing the drag that both slows down and heats up the disk. We'll have to wait until 2013 to see shipping helium-filled drives in our PCs; given the slightly exotic nature of the technique, though, we wouldn't count on HGST or Western Digital handing out drives for free like balloons at a birthday party.
