And as luck would have it, this comes hot on the heels of a report that Apple will release a slew of new MacBook Pros later this week. For some time now, reports have abounded detailing Apple and Intel’s cooperation on a new transfer technology dubbed Light Peak capable of transferring data at 10GB/s both up and down.

You're taking the phrase "Can someone please stone Yasmin Alibhai-Brown to death?" out of its context. Therefore your conclusions have no ground. Also, are you sure that I won't get out of my house after reading your post and shoot my neighbour to death, and then tell the police that I did it because I read your post? You see, I could be the nutbag out of hundreds of thousands of people reacting to your Slashdot post in a way you could not possibly have imagined.

Icelandic Company Designs Human Pylons 142

Posted by samzenpus from the anthropomorphic-power dept.
Lanxon writes "An architecture and design firm called Choi+Shine has submitted a design for the Icelandic High-Voltage Electrical Pylon International Design Competition which proposes giant human-shaped pylons carrying electricity cables across the country's landscape, reports Wired. The enormous figures would only require slight alterations to existing pylon designs, says the firm, which was awarded an Honorable mention for its design by the competition's judging board. It also won an award from the Boston Society of Architects Unbuilt Architecture competition."
