Best of CES - wireless energy and an iPhone controlled quadcopter

These are my personal favorites:

Wireless energy for smartphones sounds just phantastic - I hope they reach their goal to have the technology sized at mobile phone battery size by 2011!

And an iPhone controlled self-stabilizing quadcopter that looks like great fun:

First look at the new SZ iPhone app

Here's my direct comparison of today's New York Times Business Section in their iPhone app vs. the new Sueddeutsche Zeitung app vs. their iPhone-optimized version of sueddeutsche.de.

Amazing how different designs can be and how the NYT manages to have a far clearer appearance while offering more than double the (text) content. (I counted chars: the whole text content in the SZ app example equals the NYT's first article plus the second title and 9 more chars. It's just an example, but obviously the additional content (what's the article about?) is valuable.

The other open questions are: why should I (or anyone) pay relevant money (€1.59 per month) for a push notification service (=annoying) and offline browsing capability (=rarely needed on an iPhone)? On the other hand it's clear why they don't charge for the Basic app, as it seems to offer just the same content as their (very similar looking) sueddeutsche.de website.

Invention of the day!

Now that's truly brilliant: a reception, er, radiation reducing iPhone case. You could also simply turn it off. Would save a lot of energy, too!

Sometimes I hate the building I live in

I think these two screws were the last that held something at the walls in our apartment without adding a truckload of putty. Until this morning.
