And that single handedly sums up why Apple products notoriously have fewer buttons than the competition.

This is amazing stuff - kick a soccer ball, which in turn produces electricity and stores it. 15 minutes of kicking around can power a lightbulb for three hours.
So, kids, put on K'naan's Waving Flag and start kicking that ball around and light up the world. Joga Bonito!

Not quite there for a big house yet, but let's hope it's scalable. Right now, it can do some amazing stuff with scaled down models (a matrix of interconnecting rods with magnetized ends).

One of the many jaw dropping features of the iPad is the ability to experience visuals with great clarity. There are a few favorite apps of mine that really capitalize it. Thanks to Pulse and Flipboard, I've come across some great curators of interesting things. Amongst the foray of the design section in Flipboard, I discovered this amazing little community for package design lovers called "Dieline." It really has quite a collection of eclectic packages and really restores one's faith in industrial design.

Here are some packages I found to be quite refreshing from the norm du jour.

The first contender deserves a separate post by itself - it's a board game made by the design firm of Hello Monday (they make other fine stuff as well - http://www.hellomonday.com/). First of all, it's a brilliant design and secondly it's a great marketing ploy. Seriously, how many other international destination cities have their own board game? Read the whole story here - http://www.copenhagenize.com/2010/01/copenhagen-now-as-board-game.html

A PhD student in Brazil has found a novel way to purify water by using pieces of banana peels. Apparently, the banana peels have highly negative molecules that attract the heavy and positively charged metal pollutants in water. What a great use of organic waste!
