If you are reading this, then you probably already have some geeky paraphernalia stashed somewhere in your home. Want more? Then be sure to check out this cute, utilitarian offering from GreatBigStuff.com. The Great Big Computer Key Seat is exactly what its name implies. The heavy duty plastic seats are 22-inches across and 15-inches wide and come in your choice of black or beige. The seats come with the word "sit" on top, but they're customizable, so use your imagination. The Great Big Computer Key Seat costs $125, meaning we may have to sacrifice some groceries before shelling out the big bucks. [From: Walyou]

Hovering Chair Unveiled at 'Stuff Live' Gadget Show
We've heard about the tech chair, the mouse chair, and the laziest chair of all time, but even those designs are a little too down-to-earth for us. Fortunately, this weekend, the British tech show 'Stuff Live' will introduce a hovering lounge chair called the Lounger, News.com.au reports.
There are certainly more appealing gadgets and interactive displays offered at Stuff Live, but the Lounger really captures our imagination. Keith Dixon, the man who invented this piece of futuristic furniture, cited 'Star Wars' as the inspiration for the Lounger, which floats with the help of high-powered magnets. According to a spokesman from Stuff Live, reclining on the chair creates the feeling of lying back on a cloud.
If you were to purchase this chair, you might really need that kind of atmospheric relaxation to calm your nerves after paying its high price tag. Economy be damned, the Lounger will run you a cool $14,741. [From: News.com.au]
Backball Chair Lets You Mouse By the Seat of Your Pants
While we can't quite picture it improving your Counterstrike game very much, the design-minded folks at Interaction Architecture seem to think that this so-called "Backball" chair of theirs can do its small part to improve human-computer interaction nonetheless. Basically a giant trackball that you sit on, the chair is apparently specifically intended for use in public spaces like airports, although we're sure there's a least a few folks out there that'd ditch their non-trackball ball chair for one of these if they were available to the general public -- which, as you might have guessed, they aren't.
Lazy? Voice-Activated Massage Chair
The lazy might want to sit down for this one: the Inada Robo Chair Massage Recliner with Voice-Activated System does just what its preposterously long name says it does -- namely, lets you control its advanced reclining technology with the dulcet tones of your own voice.
The chair can adjust your reclining angle up to 170 degrees, and your voice also activates the massage programs, as well as the position and intensity of the back roller. Oh, and it costs $5,999 -- but can you really put a price on idleness?
So it seems the American dream has officially arrived, courtesy of Japan. No word on whether the thing can still understand you with a mouthful of Fritos, but here's hoping.
