Clear is an extremely simple (and extremely awesome
Every once in a while, I feel like being alone and that’s one of the times I feel extremely lucky and fortunate that we have a spare room in the house. Not that I’m a loner or anything, but I just like being able to get away from everyone and everything sometimes.
If I didn’t have a spare room to go to, then I’m sure something like the plastic-shelled Cocoon 1 would be totally up my alley. Although the price, not so much.
The Cocoon 1 is a piece of furniture that you can actually live in. It’s like the Cocoon Tent we saw earlier, only it’s made with a tough and clear material–and, well, it’s not a tent.
Designed by Swiss design group Micasa Lab, the Cocoon is cushy and roomy enough to let people sleep, eat, relax, and do whatever they want by their lonesome while they’re in it. The inside of the Cocoon is modular, so it can be configured as a living, working or even a cooking space. You can even get a Wi-Fi module for surfing the web inside of it.
The Cocoon 1 seems like a concept, but it’s actually an actual product that will be arriving sometime in Fall of 2013.
The only downside? The base model is priced at $2,990(USD), and goes up from there.

Released last spring, Clear is one of the slickest apps to be released for the iPhone this year. Now the beautiful, intuitive gesture UI that made it a hit on a touchscreen comes to your Mac. More »
We don’t usually write about task management apps, especially when they are lame and boring. But this one has definitely earned its rightful place in today’s sea of productivity apps. If you love the Clear to-do list app on your iPhone, brace yourself because its developers are planning to launch the app soon on the Mac. On its official blog, Realmac announced that its Clear app for the Mac will be available on November 8th for $14.99.
Mac users who are eager to try the 5-star app can expect full keyboard navigation for quick and complete access, gestural interface built for trackpad, and the option to store their lists on the iCloud. “With Clear for Mac, we wanted to spearhead a new design direction for Mac UI that focuses on simplicity. Featuring nearly all the gesturally-driven interactions from Clear for iPhone as well as a complete set of keyboard shortcuts, Clear will revolutionise the way you interact with your Mac,” said Dan Counsell, the founder of Realmac.

Clearwire sees wholesale revenues dip, LTE delays as it posts a $41.3 million net loss in Q3
Posted in: Today's ChiliClearwire’s figures show that the network it isn’t cool to love will be making placating faces at its bank manager for yet another quarter. It pulled in revenues of $313.9 million for the three month period, but with business costs (and depreciation) clocking in at $646.7 million, the company posted an operating loss of $332 million and a net loss of $41.3 million. If that wasn’t bad enough, it’s also hacked back a target to add TD-LTE to 5,000 sites before mid-2013 to just 2,000. A similar problem has occurred over at newly-minted majority owner Sprint, which has found itself a quarter behind its own LTE timetable thanks to parts shortages — so let’s hope the folks over at Softbank can help both companies improve their estimating skills.

Most of the world’s ice cubes are cloudy, soft, and weak. These hazy rocks are less dense, and they melt faster, leaving your drink watered down and terrible. Plus, opaque ice is just ugly. More »
