What are the top grossing sci-fi movies of all time? Yes, Avatar is in there, but it's only number 1 because theater tickets are so darn expensive these days. To get a real picture of which movies had the biggest impact on the box office, one must adjust the revenues for inflation.

Got a Mini Cooper enthusiast on your shopping list this year, but can’t afford to get them the car of their dreams? How about just a piece? With a take on Bluetooth speakers that’s as original as the Mini Cooper itself comes iUi design’s Mini Cooper Mirror BoomBox, a new speaker that’s fashioned after the side mirror on the world’s most famous tiny sports car.
Available in three iconic color patterns including Union Jack, grayscale Union Jack, and checkered flag, the Mirror Boombox is a slice of Cooper kitsch for your mantel that also bumps out tunes from your smartphone. The little speaker includes Bluetooth 3.0 with aptX, NFC pairing, voice prompts, a rechargeable battery with an estimated 8 hours of runtime, an on-board speakerphone, and a touch screen volume control right on the mirror. Under the hood is an 8 watt sound amplifier.
The Mirror Boombox comes with an Aux input for hard wire connections, and it can remember two paired devices at a time, allowing you to switch between a tablet or smartphone with ease. While it won’t give you quite the same effect as the old bow in the driveway scene (has that ever actually happened?), at $150, it also won’t cost you a second mortgage on the house.
The iUi Design Mini Cooper Mirror BoomBox is available now.

Fashion mannequins — the type you see constantly in clothing store windows — are generally what we think of as flawless specimens of the human form. But this project questions what we mean by "flawless":
Disabled mannequins will be eliciting astonished looks from passers-by on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse today. Between the perfect mannequins, there will be figures with scoliosis or brittle bone disease modelling the latest fashions. One will have shortened limbs; the other a malformed spine. The campaign has been devised for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by Pro Infirmis, an organisation for the disabled. Entitled "Because who is perfect? Get closer.", it is designed to provoke reflection on the acceptance of people with disabilities. Director Alain Gsponer has captured the campaign as a short film.
