View-Masters were a part of just about everyone’s childhood. For those trying to relive those days, Minnesota artist Debra Dressler has come up with these handmade clocks made with genuine vintage View-Masters. As you might suspect, “handmade” and “vintage” are usually codewords for “expensive,” and at $145, that is pretty much the case here. However, if that is a little more money than you want to spend on a clock, you could probably build one using a newer View-Master fairly easily. [Uncommon Goods]

We have already seen some of the phones in LGs KF lineup, and now it seems that the company will be showing off a few more phones at next week’s CeBIT show in Germany. The KF750 codenamed “Libra” appears to be a touchscreen slider with a 5 megapixel camera, VGA cam for video calls, and 160MB of internal memory with a microSD card slot.
As for the KF240 and the KF300, little is known other than the notion that the 240 is a music phone with a 2 megapixel camera. At any rate, we should know more in the coming days. However, if you want to get your hands on the KF750 now, a Romanian auction site claims that they have one—and they appear to be selling it for 399 Euros ($600) [Unwired View and Auction Site]
