  • Quantum dot tech leading to ultra-quality phone cameras: Interesting innovation, but I wonder how this translates to actual photos taken in the real world? Time will tell.

  • Official: Apple now offering iPhones... unlocked!: Interesting. I wonder why there hasn't been an announcement on this from Apple?

    UPDATE: As it turns out, Apple isn't selling unlocked iPhones, just phones that aren't on a contract. So, this isn't such a big deal. More coverage from MacnNN.

  • Old-school architect creates an iOpener: Interesting article on Peter Bohlin, architect of the 5th Avenue Apple store in Manhattan. Includes this quote:

    "Barely four years after Apple opened the store in the basement of the General Motors tower, Bohlin's ethereal one-story structure - a glorified vestibule, really - has become a must-see attraction as well as Apple's highest-grossing location. According to Cornell University scientists who analyzed 35 million Flickr images, the Cube is the fifth-most-photographed building in New York, the 28th worldwide."

    Staggering.
