There are actual wires sticking out of the tech gear wedding cake, making it look a little scary -- almost bomb-like. But maybe that's the intent. It's not quite clear if it has to be powered down before eating. **Implications** - As advanced forms of technology have become more affordable and accessible to customers, products that flaunt 'geek chic' have infiltrated the marketplace.
