I bought the domain Fosfor.com earlier this year and it is kind of stupid not making it come to some real use, so therefore I am switching to the new domain today. Hopefully the switch will be seamless (according to Feedburner you can use the same RSS as before) – but if you experience any trouble with the new feed, please let me know!
So get out of here, and go to www.fosfor.com instead.

Today I got one of the latest phones from Nokia in the mail and I just wanted to share the unboxing experience with you guys. The 7900 Crystal Prism is designed by the French artist Frédérique Daubal and I am not sure why I got one since it is a fashion phone for women, but anyway here is the gallery.

Here is the coolest USB drive I have seen so far this year. I am afraid you can’t buy it (yet! I bet someone will put this one into mass production…) but here’s some nice instructions that will help you make one. Awesome idea!

There was a photo at Flickr circulating during the weekend of a MacBook Pro running 150 different applications at the same time, and now a guy has posted a video of his Vista machine running 108 applications at the same time. Looks like it’s running pretty smooth actually. Video after the jump.

When a friend asks me what camera to buy I usually guide them to a Panasonic Lumix or a Canon Ixus, and Panasonics latest compact, the DMC-LZ10, looks really promising. Photography blog have played around with the camera for a week or so and they really like it:
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10 is one of those rare beasts, a pocket camera that is well-suited to both complete beginner and more experienced photographer alike. Highly recommended.

We just got a link to this ‘leaked’ photo of a potentially new design of the iPhone. I am pretty sure that this is just a mockup, but you never know…I like the glossy black though.

Here is a fantastic photo taken in 1983. It features a home office built on Atari equipment. Be sure to check out the Return of the Jedi promotional glass set in the top left corner. Lovely.
