Testing from Flock 2.0.
Still buggy on Mac, let’s see if this version is what version 1 should have been… Looks promising.

iPhone 3G power adapter
During the briefing, Greg “Joz” Jozwiak , the marketing head for the iPhone and iPod, slid a small plastic and metal object over to me without comment. I put the thing in my hand and thought, “Huh. Metal prongs on one end – clearly power. A slot on the other side. Looks like a USB port. Plug, port. Plug, port.” My brain took a moment and then told me, “It’s a power adapter, dummy, just one smaller than you’ve ever seen before.”
And so it is. Exceedingly tiny, the adapter seems like it can barely contain the metal necessary to provide conductivity. It’s another aspect of Apple’s overall design philosophy. Even if another maker could design the iPhone’s industrial look and feel, they would still send you an ugly black brick to go with it.

BMW presents GINA
BMW presents GINA, a new take on car design, materials, and flexibility.
The GINA replaces the traditional metal/plastic skin with a textile fabric skin that’s pulled taut around a frame of metal and carbon fiber wires.
Even the shape of the car can change. Fascinating and creative design study.
