JDS Architects explores the possibility of bouncing from the top floor to the bottom of the Guggenheim Museum on a trampoline net.

Unfortunately for thrill-seeking visitors of the museum, it's just a concept idea, and is part of the "Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum" exhibition, which explores different ideas to fill the open space in the middle of the building.



Now just imagine how fun (and probably dangerous) that would be!

The first question that comes to mind would probably be, "Is it worth it?" Despite quite a number of users forum highlighting some bugs and unstability of the operating software, the Nexus One is getting some healthy sales figures. We think by now, everyone knows that Google didn't make the phone, it was all done by HTC.

Rest assured though, it's all Google inside. The smartphone runs on an updated version of Éclair (Android 2.1), powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM. The 3.7-inch panel is an AMOLED display with an 800 x 480-pixel resolution. Jump here to check the full specs.



According to Cnet Asia;
The Nexus One can be bought online in the US without a service at US$529, while customers in Singapore can expect to pay up to US$577.31, which would include the device, power adapter and shipping. The phone is also available to online buyers in the UK and Hong Kong.

It is certainly much cheaper than HTC's latest top-of-range models, the HTC Hero and HD2. So if you're keen on having Google's latest Android 2.1 powered Nexus One (and have a contact in Singapore who can order it for you), then by all means get it. And don't forget also to drop us a line so we can play with it too.

Following the somewhat recent touch innovations on their iPhone, iPod Touch and notebooks, Apple introduced its Multi-Touch technology to their new 'Magic Mouse'.

Bringing gestures to mice for the first time, the Magic Mouse brings a whole new feel to the way you get around on your Mac.

Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere.



The wireless Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that's far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than the usual optical tracking used on current mice.

Technologies aside, this mouse is visually pleasing too, featuring a low-profile design and a sexy, seamless top shell.

The Magic Mouse comes free with the new iMacs, and also available separately for B$108, all of which should be available in Brunei by the end of this month.
