3G iPhone to be discounted by AT&T
FORTUNE has some “new information” about the 3G iPhone:
“When the 3G iPhone is introduced this summer, AT&T is preparing to subsidize $200 of the cost of a new iPhone, bringing the price down to $199 for customers who sign two-year contracts, the source says. Apple is expected to have two versions of the new iPhone, an 8-gigabyte-memory and a 16-gigabyte-memory model with price tags widely expected to be $399 and $499.”
AT&T and Apple have declined FORTUNE’s claims, but when does apple tell us what they’re up to anyway.
Check back here for more information about the 3G iPhone.

Uno: the self-balancing motorcycle
The Uno is a self-balancing motorcycle that uses a pair of gyroscopes to constantly keep its rider upright.
Designed by 18-year old inventor Ben J. Poss Gulak (and built with the help of a team of bike builders and engineers), the 120-pound motorcycle is so easy to ride, its only control is a single on-off switch. To ride forward, lean forward, to reverse, simply lean back. The degree to which you lean increases or decreases your velocity. By using a pair of wheels, the bike can also make turns based on your side-to-side movements.

“FLARE is a modular system to create a dynamic hull for facades or any building or wall surface. Acting like a living skin, it allows a building to express, communicate and interact with its environment.”
This is an amazing technology and it offers a cool illusion.
