I know you’ve had your eye on a pipe organ, but you’ll change your mind after you see this. This is the Aeolus, a massive Aeolian wind harp sculpture built by UK artist Luke Jerram. You would think it summons the mighty power of the wind to create crushing, ethereal sounds and rhythmic pulses of air you can use to vibrate the waxy build-up clear out of your eartubes. In fact, it’s much less intense, but still quite impressive.
The 10th app is imminent. It beckons from the ashes… ahem, PTC has formally announced the release of Creo 2.0. For those still clinging to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5, it may have just the right gleam to get you past the rebranding/restructuring brought out with Creo 1.0. With it, PTC brings you the 10th app to complete the role-specific app fam. Completeness is achieved. All hail the 10th app.
Great ideas don’t mean squat if you can’t market them properly. The invention of the modern automobile, developed by the dynamic duo known as Karl and Bertha Benz, is no different.

This is a robotic turret for your iPhone. It’s called the Galileo because Galileo himself was a robot, with hidden gun turrets. Fact. Unlike the Italian physicist, this iPhone platform has infinite spherical rotation capability and can be operated from remote locations. It’s the brainchild of Josh Guyot and JoeBen Bevirt, the duo who brought you the Gorillapod flexible camera tripod, and… the project is fully funded (and then some) on Kickstarter.
