In his latest Wired column, Bruce Schneier runs the thought-experiment of creating perfect identities. I noodled with this when my daughter was born -- I got her birth certificate from the Hackney Council, a sheet of ordinary laser-printed A4, took it to the Canadian embassy with a couple of photos that could have been any baby, and a few weeks later, a Canadian passport arrived. I thought, hmm, what if I were do to this ...

Not all BFFs are for life. Ben Folds Five disbanded in 2000, and since then it's been all solo stuff all the time for Mr. Folds. This month, though, the trio will reunite to perform its 1999 album, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, in full. Strange, considering Whatever and Ever Amen has three of the band's most beloved songs ("Kate", "Song for the Dumped", and, of course, "Brick"). Can anyone say "encore"?Ben Folds Five's ...

Filed under: Odds and ends, iPhone This Business Week article describes the rising demand for first generation iPhones. "Shelf prices" (using eBay values of virtual shelves) for the 16GB iPhone are currently at about $600, and $500 for 8GB models. In other words, the $250 AT&T refurb specials from March are now worth roughly double what you paid for them. From easy-unlocking to contract-free usage to eco-consumerism, consumers are looking for those original units and ...

University of Southern California engineer Behrokh Khoshnevis and colleagues are developing a 3D printer for houses. Called Contour Crafting, the system spits out layers of concrete to build a structure from the bottom up. Caterpillar is sponsoring Khoshnevis's research. From the Contour Crafting page: Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly ...

Filed under: HouseholdSome pretty extreme methods for waking up are out there, but for those of you who'd prefer something a bit more natural, have a passing glance at Philips' Wake-up Light. This admittedly brilliant device simulates the rising of the sun by gradually getting brighter as your desired required wake-up time draws near. If that's not enough, your windowless apartment can become the middle of Central Park with the inclusion of bird sounds, babbling ...

As you might already know, however, you can't land an aircraft with a full tank of gas -- it's just too hard on the brakes -- so the pilots had to kill some time.As a result, instead of the pleasant transcontinental flight that flight 1586 ...

Filed under: Antarctica, Airlines, TransportationI've heard of many cruisers offering trips to the Antarctic, but this is the first time I hear of a flight that takes you over the continent in 12 hours.

Organized by Croyden Travel, you can board one of these flights from Sydney or Melbourne, and cost between $999(economy)-$5699(first class). The plane doesn't land, you don't require your passport ...

Filed under: Hotels and Accommodations, Budget TravelRaise your hand if you've had to change your travel plans in the last year due to budget constraints. Just about everybody, huh? Travelers who fly to their vacation destinations have had a rough time this year. Fares are up across the board, except in the cases where whole airlines have ceased operations entirely. Maybe planes don't even fly to our destinations anymore, or those that do cost three ...
