Sweet office furniture



Don't you wish your office cubicle were like this? A nice wooden home and office furniture and a comfortable chair in a peaceful, fresh garden, just a few steps away from your kitchen and bedroom. I can imagine working there, sipping some lemonade on a perfect spring day, going to the big chair by the fountain to read something or have a cat nap from time to time.

Sometimes on Crave I talk about my dream office. This would undoubtedly be a part of it. I think it might be the most beautiful bar ever; yes, even cooler than the inflatable one. This is, like, the iPhone of bars. Crafted out of a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, it comes with a bottle cooler and a sink that you can connect to your water supply. They really thought of everything.

Additionally, the panels on the front are luminescent, so this is guaranteed to look extra awesome after dark. At the (discounted!) price of $7,365, that's about as much as slightly over 12 iPhones. I say it's worth it. Very worth it.

Am I the only non nay sayer? Guys, this office obviously would be used on days that would be nice enough to sit outside. If it isn't a day you'd sit outside and read then you would use your office inside. She's not setting up a fax machine, printer, full computer, and rigging up a telephone out there. Be realistic, it's a nice day out and you want to take your laptop and what outside to work. It seems really peaceful if you aren't afraid of the outside.

And then there were three. For years we have grown familiar with the home furniture industry battle between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. As of Sunday that has all changed. AT&T announced it will buy T-Mobile for $39 billion. There had been talk about deal between T-Mobile and Sprint but that rumor was never confirmed. T-Mobile belongs to the German company Deutsche Telekom and has a reported 33.7 million customers that will be combined to AT&T's 95.5 million customers making AT&T the largest carrier in the U.S., holding 42 percent of the total cellphone carrier marketplace. What does this mean for the companies' customers? The New York Times reports that because AT&T and T-Mobile both use the same GSM technology, both customers should be expect better coverage. T-Mobile customers, however, can expect their contract rates to change (rise) after their current subscription runs out. The buy out requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department, which will sift through any regulatory issues have may arise.
