ion’s StealthPredator – Stylish protection for your iPhone

love my iPhone, in fact I have no idea what any of us did before we had these things. If I forget to bring my phone with me, the day is shot.

My daughter doesn’t even want to go see a move anymore if it isn’t in 3D and I wonder to myself, whats next?Let me share with you John Leung’s “Magic Carp-pet,” made in collaboration with Australian architectural and design firm, ClarkeHopkinsClark, which uses what looks like a slatted coffee table and a black and white carp print rug to produce an effect that allows anyone moving around the table to see a school of swimming carp gracefully animating.

It is known as a Scalextric Velodrome for cyclists dressed in Great Britain colors.As you can see from the picture, there are the traditional trigger controls.
