Three Things Digg Needs to Fix In v4 (And Three It Doesn’t)

Regular readers of Techi know that we love Digg and that, most of the time anyway, Digg loves us.
So when Digg rolled out version 4 of its social aggregation site – or v4 as many have called it – many, including us, were excited, particularly because there have been rumors of Digg’s waning influence.
Bourgie Table Lamp
Bourgie Table Lamp from Kartell. The revisiting of a classic: the baroque table lamp. The revolutionary feature of this lamp is that it is made entirely of transparent or batch-dyed polycarbonate. On the one hand, it is classical, rich and traditional, and on the other, it is innovative, transparent and ironic.
The baroque style base is composed of three decorated layers that interconnect, and the large lampshade is make with a plissé effect, to create a myriad play of reflections once the lamp is turned on.
Thanks to a special coupling system on the lampshade, it can be assembled at three different heights: 26.75″, 28.75″, 30.75″. The lamp can be used as a table, desk or floor light and features a touch-sensitive dimmer.
