Audi e-tron concept is another beautiful reminder that that all gas cars, including the one’s in the showroom, are obsolete pieces of shit based on a long-dead idea.

The Google Nexus One is out in the wild. The industrial design is a lot like the Android OS in that it looks kind of like an iPhone, if the iPhone were made by engineers instead of designers. Which is to say it has all the appropriate features and characteristics that a modern touch screen smartphone should have, but I don’t really care.
It’s one killer app? The rumors are that it won’t be tied to a network. Apple, get on that.

For the full woulda/coulda/shoulda, the climacide deck is still up. It doesn’t look like we’re going to get a treaty signed at Cop15 this week, so maybe there’s still a chance to build this thing.
