After announcing a (not so) massive price drop from $599 to $399 for the 8GB iPhone Apple posted a new page for the future Wi-Fi Music Store to buy songs on the go. The page shows an iPhone at 9:42 AM with the same time displayed in the clock app’s icon. Other iPhone pictures at [...]

Introducing a clean, non-permanent and — more than anything else — geeky way of tagging buildings, the Graffiti Research Lab presents a project named L.A.S.E.R. Tag.

Es gibt immer wieder Perlen im Internet zu entdecken: Bilder, wie sie sonst nur in Dokumentationen im Fernsehen zu finde sind. Bei Flickr postet Raul Gutierrez seine Fotos, aber auch direkt in seinem Photo Blog gibt es die Bilder (in groß) aus Mexico, Texas, China, Kambodscha und Orten, von denen ich noch nie zuvor gehört [...]
