In the past few years, Apple has moved beyond computers and operating systems to create other digital devices. The iPhone is a marvel, as is the iPod. But what did you expect for a company that's know for impecable, thoughtful design?Now, what would happen if Apple took on even more projects? It's fun to think about, as the folks at la Repubblica have done. Check out their collection of 19 "impossible objects," as designed by Apple (if only in their imaginations). Our favorites include the fire extinguisher (what exactly comes out of that thing?) and the iBal (yes, it's what you're thinking).
Thanks, Marco!

USB on the iQuench? Shouldn't it have Firewire? Or would that be counter-intuitive?

This is actually from a contest at worth1000.com. And it says so on the La Repubblica site (in Italian, of course).

shouldn't the washing machine have a scroll wheel and/or touch screen instead of all those buttons?

If Apple made everything, I'd buy an iGun, fill it with iBullets, and commit iSuicide.

# 3 the "iPot" ;) (I guess none of you have any experience with "growing your own". The sprout in #3 is in fact a teeny baby pot plant!).
