Filed under: Transportation If the third time is the charm, yet you botch that attempt just like the earlier two, then what? That's the problem facing NASA and its Space Elevator Challenge, which has for three successive years failed to live up to the vision of Arthur C. Clarke.

Filed under: Cellphones No, we're not done with this thing yet. Check out our hands-on video of the T-Mobile G1 after the break. Of note, scrolling around in the browser is a tad laggy, and everything feels very first-generation.

Ford celebrated its centennial a few years back, so knows how much fun the big 1-0-0 can be. And though ...

Oh man, right around lunchtime. I bet I could eat all twelve of those cupcakes. I’d probably start with the e-mail one. I like how the e-mail works on my iPod Touch. I’d eat the clock one last because it’s like, hey, there’s a clock up in the corner. Don’t go making me poke a little square just to see what time it is. I have the corner, man. [Rapidpik via Digg]
