Human-Shaped High-Voltage Electrical Pylons on Iceland
The architecture and design firm Choi+Shine proposed human-shaped pylons for electricity cables:
The enormous figures would only require slight alterations to existing pylon designs, says the firm, which was awarded an honorable mention for its design by the competition’s judging board. — Wired

The Two Leg Table is a very creative approach to hold a tabletop.
Restore Window Positions on Mac OS X
The one thing that annoys me the most when attaching and removing my LED Cinema Display from my MacBook Pro is that window positions are lost and some windows end up half off the screen, etc. Stay is a nice little menubar utility for Mac OS X to help you keep your windows organized in such situations which was released just six days ago.
Stay works great, except it doesn’t support Spaces (multiple desktops) yet. The FAQ states “[t]he ability store and restore windows across all Spaces is being looked at for a future version” and also Twitter gives hope.

Inertial Scrolling on Your MacBook Pro
If you call a recent MacBook Pro your own, the latest update to support Apple’s new Magic Trackpad brings inertial scrolling and three finger gestures to your machine. I’ve still got to install the update but ever since iPhone, iPad and especially the Magic Mouse I feel very slow using normal scrolling on my MacBook Pro.

iOS 4 Changes
Monday is iOS 4 day. A great and very detailed overview of what’s new can be found in TiPb’s iOS 4 walkthrough.
Another great overview just came live 10 minutes ago on Ars technica. Read it while you wait for your iOS 4 download to finish.
“Reeder for iPad” now on the App Store
The Google Reader client Reeder is now available as an iPad version.
I’ve been using the beta versions for two weeks and it only crashed once while loading a web page with lots of pictures (a post on http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/) which was no surprise as the iPad just couldn’t handle the amount of data (out of memory). Otherwise it works flawlessly, faster the NetNewsWire on my Mac and is pure fun to use.
Go to the app store and download Reeder for iPad now if you use both, an iPad and Google Reader. It’s a must have!
Reeder: Fantastic Google Reader Client Coming to iPad
My favorite newsreader Reeder will soon be available on iPad.
Twitter followers of @reederapp got a sneak peek of the iPad version of this minimalistic and beautiful, yet powerful news reader that syncs with Google’s feed aggregation service.
I especially like the pinch to open gesture for feed folders and sure hope there won’t be any problems during the submission process to the app store. Apple rejected an iPad app for using this gesture before.
I’m really excited to load Reeder onto my iPad in the near future which should arrive after another (long) week of waiting — my iPad that is.
In the meantime check out Reeder’s website and Reeder for iPhone on the app store.
Also take a look at even more gorgeous screenshots of the current beta version posted to Twitter: tweet 1, tweet 2, tweet 3, tweet 4.
