		<description><![CDATA[Ars Technica points us to the growing concern over App Store applications getting ripped off and/or copied by other developers. The applications they compare are two eBook readers: Classics and Classics: Jane Austen. Classics is popular, and was featured on Apple’s broadcasted iPhone ads. Classics: Jane Austen however is a mirror-image of the application, both in graphics and interface.
Developers trying to benefit from the success of others on the App Store is nothing new. The most common method thus far has been to use the names of some of the more popular apps in the description of a different app, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve mentioned the Snuggie a couple times (here &#38; here) this past year, so we thought it’d be appropriate to mention our invite to the Snuggie Pub Crawl in New York City. Similar crawls are going on in 15 other cities across the country, with Chicago&#8217;s, one of the most popular, already having racked up 2153+ registrants for their April 18th crawl.
The site says that proceeds will be donated to an orphanage in Tanzania, so we assume there is a minimal participation fee for crawlers. The events are not affiliated with the company, but keep in mind the blankets are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We came across a planning concept showcasing Japanese streets completely paved in grass. While we can’t find any information about the idea or creators (all copy is in Japanese), the carefully composed images are quite interesting, albeit practically impossible to sustain and the concept completely feasible. [thanks for the correction, HR!]
With the entire first world riding this eco-friendly-plant-green-everywhere wave, how could this possibly affect the locales of which mega-cities get fresh water? An initiative like New York City’s MillionTreesNYC is substantially beautifying the city and creating clean air and cool shade, but could it possibly be taxing our limited water-supply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Telegraph reports that British children are given their first mobile phone around 8 years old. Doug Aamoth with CrunchGear makes a good point that the survey conducted was in an affluent area, which could slant the results, but nonetheless it’s worth noting that children are actively using mobile phones a great deal more than in previous years. Who are these kids calling? Mainly their parents, although the survey highlights that having a cell phone is more about having cool ringtones and games among friends, rather than serving as a solid communicating platform.
On another note, Finland’s Radiation and Nuclear Safety [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two German artificial intelligence researchers have developed a hack for the Wii Fit that allows them to surf Google Earth terrain. While the Wii Fit has already demonstrated another capability in the internet-assisted health care realm, the hack gives it a fun new use by taking advantage of the boards 4 &#8216;wobbling&#8217; sensors, converting them into steering and throttle, allowing the user to cruise over the satellite mapped ground like famed Marvel comic hero Silver Surfer.

		<description><![CDATA[Toys tend to move as much as their masters – and that&#8217;s why the smartly designed Fastronaut toys harness all that kinetic energy from throws, rolls and bounces to power themselves. LEDs on the toy-cars and action figures display how much power has been generated (great for teaching the kids about conservation), and each has a button when pressed plays design specific noises and sounds. One of the cooler toys attaches to the handlebar of a bicycle, charging a headlamp with its tethered-wheel-powered generator, after which can be removed from the bike and used in the living room.

Fujitsu announced the plan four years ago, and the technology finally seems to be ready for the public. The advertising-based medium uses wireless LAN services for content delivery and is robust enough to be handled by countless lunch-goers, running through an entire business day without needing a charge (e-paper only uses power when the information displayed changes).
Where will these cool electronic devices get their power? Perhaps from one of Japan&#8217;s 1,400 electricity-generating wind turbines &#8211; much to the dismay of its neighbors. Asahi Shimbun reports [...]]]></description>

The group that brought their noir thriller play to Central Park restrooms will be selling tickets to “IRT: A Tragedy in Three Stations”, set in a subway station early this February. This isn’t just any small production though. The full-scale theatrical production includes costume changes, props, set-dress and a cast and crew thirty-five strong. The Post reports:

		<description><![CDATA[Hamilton Nolan at Gawker wrote an interesting post about the decline of good advertising on television. It’s been quite noticeable lately (in New York at least) how many prime-time advertising spots have been bought by what seems to be infomercial and low-production-value spots. The glitzy Lexus ads have been replaced with advertisements for smock-like blankets with long-sleeves, Amish-made faux-fireplace heaters and strange, mouth-aligned goatee trimmers. Nolan writes:
The collapse of ad sales, and the decline of the auto industry, means that even regular networks—and even, sometimes, in prime time—are increasingly forced to plug empty spots with cheap ass infomercial standbys.

Reminiscent of a massive telescope reflector, the structure will be a photovoltaic panel and glass covered cylinder resting atop its side, allowing sunlight to reach all its vast interiors. Award winning design firm MANSILLA+TUÑÓN’s 110 meter tall structure isn’t just pretty to look at – it showcases a 5,000 seat auditorium and numerous event spaces throughout, all while partially sustaining its numerous facilities with collected rainwater and electricity.

All of you photo-geeks will appreciate the technology going in to his project – Bergman clamped his Gigapan-mounted Canon G10 to a railing, allowing the robotic mount to photograph the action. He then processed the captured images on his Macbook Pro with Gigapan software, creating a ginormous 2 gigabite, 1,474 megapixel TIF file.
Like the Where&#8217;s Waldo of Inaugurations, see if you can spot Yo-Yo Ma photographing the scene with his i-Phone.

While still available, many of the books have been updated for the times – which is why Golden enthusiast Barbie Miller is showcasing hundreds of scanned original pages perfect for an afternoon of nostalgia, inspiration and for some of us, learning.

That’s because Improv Everywhere, the guys that organized hundreds of people inside of Grand Central Terminal to freeze in their tracks at rush-hour, were behind the latest public display of confusion. They’re guessing they had between 1,200 and 1,500 participants for the 8th Annual No Pants! Subway Ride, some of which reported the overheard comments on Improv Everywhere’s site.

Photographing a moving light source with a long exposure is the gist of light graffiti – one of the more famous examples being Gjon Mili’s 1949 photograph of Pablo Picasso sketching a bull with a light-pen. Fifty years later, people are still experimenting with the technique, but doing it easier with the advent of instantly gratifying digital cameras. As of late, companies have used the beautiful photographic technique in their advertisements like HP and Sprint, and Brazilian ad agency Propague are sporting a fantastic light-painted video.

		<description><![CDATA[The oldest design competition of its kind, the Good Design competition has been around since 1950, judging entries on everything from materials and concept to construction and aesthetic. 2008&#8217;s winner, Kartell&#8217;s beautifully designed Mr Impossible chair, was produced utilizing their new laser process that joined a plastic base, legs and seat together. The result is a quite unique, and very Philippe Starck – the famed product and interior designing driving force behind this project.

		<description><![CDATA[The adult toy industry is experiencing a surge of sales while the global economy falters, says Australian News. Anonymous web-purchasing power has obviously contributed, but the industry also employs some creative marketing efforts geared towards conservative consumers in mainstream magazines. Much like Viagra and Cialis’ tactical suave´, they’ve been busy inventing softer, less offensive names (relationship and intimacy care) and subtler, smarter packaging. Sales at American lubricant manufacturer, Wet, are up 30% this year alone, according to owner Michael Trygstad.

		<description><![CDATA[We came across a very interesting iPhone hack that allows you to control a servo with the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer. Servos are tiny motors most commonly found on radio-controlled cars and airplanes that operate in a fixed motion, like steering wheels and wing-flaps. As the iPhone moves off its original vertical axis, it causes a Wi-Fi connected servo motor to mimic the movement of the iPhone as it’s rotated.
