These cool speakers are from zaecherl. A great idea, both chic and green, the speakers are made from re-purposed tin cans, which are overlayed with a metal mesh.
Bung in a speaker at the back and hey-presto! It’s art you made yourself - genius.

I know that the Big G (Google) is great at harvesting, organising, and using data - and great at being controversial about it, too. But this next move might be a huge boon, or a shot in the foot for the search giant.
Google has unveiled plans to help U.S. patients gain control of their medical records and is working with doctors’ groups, pharmacies and labs to help them securely share sensitive health data - ’securely share’, now there’s a oxymoron and a half.
Apparently, Google has signed deals with medical tester Quest Diagnostics Inc, health insurer Aetna Inc, Walgreens and Walmart Stores Inc pharmacies. Google wants to nurture a partnership between medical institutions and information services. The service will allow U.S. patients to share information like their prescriptions, past drugs and test results.

I thought that ‘Febuary’ deadline for the iPhone SDK was a bit soon, and I was right. March 6th is A-Day, and the big fruit is calling the world’s media to the Cupertino campus.
I love how I get left out, no invitation heading my way - thank you Apple. Even if I couldn’t attend the event, it’d be nice to know His Steveness still cares about the little guy.
Some ideas are fantastic - betamax tapes, Concorde, HD YouTube. Some ideas are short-lived - betamax tapes, Concorde and HD YouTube.
Unfortunately, Stage6 is one of those ideas. DivX has decided to close the door on the next-generation high definition media portal. Videos on Stage6.com will be available for viewing and download through February 28, 2008. DivX will work with certain content publishers to migrate content to alternative web distribution platforms.

Gizmodo has a great list of 10 great concepts that really need to be real. One of the good points about this list is the ‘feasible’ point - all of these concept designs are realistic, and it would be possible to create them.
My favourite has to be the Yamaha Tesseract, a concept bike/quad/monster [See left], which looks like two motorbikes, that Lexus from Minority Report, and Optimus Prime from Transformers.
Either way, check out the list over at the Giz, and see what you think.
