Too bad it costs as much as the iPhone that made it obsolete.
Along with every other gadget it has killed off (cameras, radios, GPS units, etc.), the smartphone hasn’t been very friendly to our good friend, the calculator. But Casio’s hoping that design will make you want to buy a calculator again: their new S100 flagship calculator puts a premium on materials and craftsmanship to try to get you to forget that your iPhone comes with a calculator app for free.

“Such a great thought from the beginning was to reject sameness,” Marsha Meredith, Aesop’s creative director, says.
Each one of Aesop’s meticulously designed shops is purpose-built to stop you in your tracks, but how the Australian skincare brand accomplishes that is different every time. Hundreds of Paris Review quarterlies are suspended from the ceiling of its storefront in Chelsea; shoppers traipse over emerald-green tile in the Covent Garden, London, location and the Saint-Honoré outpost in Paris boasts shelves that disappear into the jigsaw of wood planks cladding the walls.

Tumblr is allowing users to adjust their privacy settings, so that their posts only show up within the confines of the blogging platform.
Tumblr is now giving users the option of hiding their blogs from the web, only making them viewable through Tumblr’s homepage or apps. The Yahoo-owned microblogging service introduced the new functionality on Wednesday; if users opt to shield their blog, the site will show a 404 error anytime it is accessed via URL.
Military contractors are now required to report when they’ve been hacked.

In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission, AT&T claimed that Sprint and T-Mobile are not abiding by disability regulations.
The fight over using smartphones to make Wi-Fi-enabled telephone calls just entered the unexpected area of disability rights. AT&T has accused rival carriers T-Mobile and Sprint of violating rules set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which require wireless services to accommodate users with speech and hearing disabilities. Unlike AT&T, both T-Mobile and Sprint allow users to make calls on iPhones over Wi-Fi.
Figuratively, not literally. They channeled the famous pop artist’s style as part of a memorable campaign for a Middle East department store.
Although the last time we heard from them, they were naked and covered in cockroaches, Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh of Sagmeister & Walsh aren’t always rolling around in squalor. In fact, their latest campaign for Middle East department store Aizone is about as far from grimy as you can get: to promote the store’s items, they’ve taken fun and frantic pop art sensibilities and brought it to 3-D life.
These areas either have the noisiest neighbors or the nosiest neighbors, depending on how you look at it.
Noise might seem like merely a nuisance, but it’s also a health risk: according to the World Health Organization, noise pollution can lead to cardiovascular diseases, sleep disturbance, and stress. Last year, NoiseTube gave Smartphone users a way to measure and map noise levels so they could help city officials monitor it. Now, the real estate site Trulia has come up with its own way of visualizing noise pollution: using the crime data on noise complaints.
