The Engadget Show: Inside the mind of designer Philippe Starck
If you care about design, then you know the name Philippe Starck. As an industrial designer, Starck has been responsible for some of the most groundbreaking — and divisive — products ever created. He’s been both vilified and deified, and while there are solid arguments for both stances, there is no denying that he is a force to be reckoned with. Fresh off of his design of LaCie’s new Mobile and Desktop drives, Engadget’s Senior Editor Thomas Ricker had a chance to sit down with the man himself in Paris and hear his thoughts on life, love, and good design. What we learn will shock you, amaze you, warm your heart… and convince you that Starck is a serious Apple fanboy. The full video is after the break. Don’t be a fool — watch it now!

Sony’s TransferJet-packin’ Memory Stick Duo hits the FCC
If what we saw at CEATEC is any indication, we can all look forward to a future where damn near every new piece of Sony kit that we lay our hands on will support its fledgling wireless technology, TransferJet. As you might have guessed, we’ve been keeping our eyes on the usual channels in vain hopes of finding any gear sporting the new standard. So, what do we have here? Our friends at Sony Insider have spotted FCC paperwork for the MS-JX8G, which is apparently a Memory Stick Duo that sports the protocol — and which (hopefully) means that someday soon we’ll be able to grandfather TransferJet into all of our existing Memory Stick Duo-supporting devices. Pretty clever, Sony!

Dress lit up with 24,000 LEDs, perfect for your next formal rave
In general, we’ve found the whole LED dress craze to be kind of a snoozer — after all, the results are usually pretty tacky, in our opinions. It seems, however, that all that has just changed — with the introduction of Cute Circuit‘s Galaxy Dress, which is made of silk and has 24,000 LEDs measuring just 2 by 2-millimeters each embroidered onto its surface. As you can see from the photograph, the dress is also quite classic and beautiful — not your usual raver’s delight. To make the dress lighter and more flexible than your average light-enhanced couture, the designers used layers of organza crinoline and silk chiffon, and they power the dress with many small iPod batteries, which are light and easily hidden in the dress. The Galaxy Dress is currently on exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago — but you can check it out for yourself in the video after the break.
