Even Ferrari Is Going Green


The new Millechili concept car unveiled by the Italian sports-car maker is shorter and lighter than the Enzo. It comes with a twin turbocharged, direct injection 3.0-liter V-8, which produces 550 hp. Company officials say it would be faster than the current 800 hp V-12 that powers Ferrari’s FXX super car, yet it would use 42 percent less fuel and carbon emissions would drop by nearly half.

Second ATT-Free iPhone Activation Hack

The iPhone Development Project reports that it's uncovered a method of activating iPhones without hooking up with AT&T. The project's main aims are to unlock the device for use with other carriers, and get homebrew up and running:


"Using a "known" token (one used to activate an iPhone legitimately), we can activate an iPhone even after deactivation. We can use this "known" token to activate multiple phones, but the token is believed to contain identifying information so we have not provided a token. I want to emphasize that a known token will work on any phone, and once you have a known token you can use wifi, iPod, etc."
Though using typically obscure nicknames and appelations, the hackers are innocent as rabbits in what they're trying to accomplish — the third major to-do, for example, is to get dial-up networking and modem use running.

China's Bubbly Aquatics Center Nears Completion

A solid block of water appears to have rained down on Beijing's Olympic Green. While most architecture buffs have been focused on Herzog & de Meuron's National Stadium -- dubbed the Bird's Nest for its curved shape and overlapping structural supports -- its neighbor, the National Aquatics Center, just might steal the show come opening day. Designed by Australia's PTW Architects, engineering firm Arup, and China State Construction Design International, the so-called Water Cube has a structural system unlike any other building. No wonder -- it's based on an age-old physics problem related to bubbles.
Left: Bird's Nest or bubbles? The refreshing Water Cube rises in front of the main Olympic stadium in Beijing. PTW, Arup and CCDI won an international competition to build the National Aquatics Center with a design that resembles a heavy-duty block of flavor-free Jell-O.
