This Hanging Hotel Made of Recycled Materials Is Definitely Weird, Maybe Wonderful [Design]

AirHotel, a sustainable and mobile hanging hotel designed by a group of Belgian artists, is actually a collection of six unique pod-like rooms, each with its own theme. May 10 - June 2, AirHotel will be set up at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival in the UK, where a stay in one of its wacky rooms will begin at about $57 per occupant. More »

Per Vices, The Rare YC Hardware Startup, Sets Out To Disrupt Wireless Communications

Screen Shot 2012-04-30 at 7.59.44 AMY Combinator might be best known for software plays like Dropbox and Airbnb. But it's also harbored a few hardware companies, notably the one that blew out Kickstarter funding records with Pebble Watch this month. There's actually one more waiting in the wings. Per Vices is a startup from the latest class that's looking to disrupt how wireless communications are sent. They've built a device called Phi that can interact with any wireless or radio signal. It's a transceiver that can demodulate and process signal data up to 4 Gigahertz. In plain English, that means one of Per Vices' devices can re-route your cell phone calls through your landline connection, if for example you have bad 3G service in your house.

Eddie Vedder ballad part of new benefit CD

By Rolling Stone

Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Images file

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder contributed "Skipping," a gentle acoustic ballad, to "Every Mother Counts 2012," a benefit for the maternal health advocacy campaign of the same name. The disc also features previously unreleased cuts by Beck, Coldplay, Bono and the Edge, Patti Smith, Paul Simon and Edie Brickell, Alanis Morissette and the Dave Matthews Band.

"Eddie was amazing to accept this project while in the midst of so much," says Every Mother Counts founder Christy Turlington Burns. "I spoke to him and exchanged several emails about his contribution. 'Skipping' is such a sweet song and I just love that his daughter Olivia has a little cameo at the start. He once wrote me saying that his girls would be proud one day that their dad contributed to such a meaningful project."

"Every Mother Counts 2012" will be available in Starbucks shops in the United States and Canada between May 1 and May 29, and $8 from the proceeds of each CD will go to the Every Mother Counts campaign.

Boy, 11, urinates on $36K worth of Apple MacBooks

14 hrs.

He had the means and the opportunity, but we may never know the motive of an 11-year-old student who urinated on a couple dozen laptops left unattended at Upper Allen Township Elementary in Pennsylvania.

In a report now?bemusing Mac fan forums across the Internet, the Upper Allen Township Police Department states?that "the cart and computers were damaged beyond repair, resulting in the loss of over $36,000."?

The cart in question contained approximately 30?school-owned MacBooks, according to a police department spokesperson I spoke to, who couldn't tell me why the kid did it ? let alone how. ?Because, c'mon ? 30 MacBooks, even stacked, make for?a formidable amount of square footage to cover, especially for a kid.

Nevertheless, all MacBooks went down as a total loss, and John Brownlee at Cult of Mac educates us on the likely reason why.?

We can all surmise that urinating upon your Mac will not be covered by your AppleCare, but here?s an interesting question: If you stand up right this second, unzip your fly and hose off all over your MacBook, can you even pay Apple to service the machines? The answer is no, because Apple looks at micturated-upon MacBooks as a biohazard.?

Sure enough, not even dog urine is acceptable. I know this because the helpful woman who answered the phone at the New York City's Fifth Avenue?Apple Store told me that no, if my dog urinated on my MacBook, no Apple Genius would touch it. What's more, "biohazard" is the exact word she used, right before she?encouraged me to "Google" a?repair outfit that would deign to?do such dirty work. ?

Dog urination aside, there are other MacBook?pathogens that may surprise you. So if?you smoke, heads up.?Cigarette smoke-infused Apple products count as biohazards too, as Consumerist reported in 2009.?

For the crime of creating $36K in Apple biohazards, the boy in question was charged with institutional vandalism and criminal mischief. While the police spokesperson assures me that, contrary to some reports, the kid was?not arrested, his case was forwarded to the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Department.

Helen A.S. Popkin goes blah blah blah about the Internet. Tell her to get a real job?on?Twitter?and/or?Facebook. Also,?Google+.

Ah that's right, I actually fogot to add ne detail about the chossen. Cause the powers are usually locked deep within them until they awaken it, there would have to be a strong emotional event or something impacting that happened to them as a mean of unlocking their powers. So don't forgetto add that about that.

Vision Research Miro 120 footage hits the internet, looks amazing (video)

Image

Filmmaker Jim Geduldick got hold of a Phantom Miro M120 super-slo-mo camera and decided to put it to the test. The small-bodied camera can record a staggering 730fps at a full resolution of 1920 x 1200, but can go as 200,000fps if you aren't too fussed about image quality. After the break we've got the video that'll make you rush excitedly to the Vision Research website, only to find that prices start from $25,000 -- keeping it strictly for music video directors (and Engadget Show segments).
