The Natural Radio concept is a bit convoluted in its approach changing volume and frequency. Instead of dials or buttons, it uses a scale. By placing stones on either sides of the scale, you have organic control over radio. Functionality isn’t really the idea here. This is clearly an attempt to humanize a device that pretty much revolutionized communication. Can you image how many stones you’d have to pack on to get the right volume.

That’s just way too much work.
Never seen a gadget that came with the means with which you can destroy it when you get frustrated by its interface.
I must be the only one who thinks this is badass.
For someone who likes their rooms with lots of earth tones, this is great. I’ve always been slightly annoyed with the boring black/grey/faux-chrome colors offered by electronics. Then along came the ipod (OOOH, white!) It’s either that or the bright hooker hues of red and pink if you’re poorly attempting to sell to women.
And while I wouldn’t want all of my controls set up in this way, I think changing volume based on constant pressure is quite sweet, and in some ways easier. Of course you’d want a remote override, but there’s something classically easy about walking by and just grabbing a rock or two to adjust the volume instead of having to fumble about with one of your multiple remotes.
I would love this radio. I like the idea. It is extremely impractical, but that is of course the idea. It could take you quite a while to find the channel you want.
Mostly I just see this becoming a clutter station for heavy little odds and ends around the house that have eclectically gathered on the surface to listen to the radio. I can almost see a kitchen pan setting on the tuner scale with various trinkets piled in it and the radio fuzzing in and out.

Turn the stone could vary volume.. Great idea.
It´s wonderfull !
If you were blind, you would love this. And after you understand how it works, you can put in the favorite station with 2 medium stones, for example. Using this interface, you could set the clock alarm, set a playlist in the mp3 device, everything that have favorites options.

It’s no fun to be on a social network or to follow someone who never talks to you.
The best examples of the changing marketing environment right now probably can be found in the movie industry,
with such films as “Snakes on a Plane” and “Cloverfield” being marketed exclusively
through the Internet and relying to a great degree on social networking websites
spreading the word. After so much spent or so many visits,
offer a free product or percent off.
Despite the fact that grass skirts look great it’s not mandatory for your skirt to be made
from grass. There is actually solid ground at the bottom of this gap, although you
won’t see it until you jump down to collect the puzzle piece.
But when this time comes around, insecurities start to pop out in even the most confident
of individuals.

For some women, losing hair is a symptom of a medical problem.
Coenzyme Q10 improves scalp circulation and raises the tissue
oxygenation levels, thereby promoting hair regrowth.
Warm water opens up the cuticle allowing you to clean the
hair shaft, but if you use warm water to rinse your hair the cuticle will stay open allowing moisture in and the hair shaft
to swell.
