'Sex in Design/Design in Sex'
Designed for your pleasure: The exhibition Sex in Design/Design in Sex opens tonight at the Museum of Sex with exhibition design by James Biber and graphics by Michael Bierut. The show sets out to examine the subconscious, as well as the intended, sexual imagery in design as it is found in the objects we wear, live with and use for erotic pleasure. Design work such as Karim Rashid’s multipurpose lounger the Kairotic Karimsutra, Shiri Zinn’s quartz crystal dildo Minx and calibrated dilators by Rhett Butler of Kiki de Montparnasse are on view.

Have your grandma ever told you about the drink of her youth? Oh yeah, you know where this article is going to just by looking at the title and the picture on the right, but seriously one of the all time greatest brands deserves to be credited as the best, whether you like it or not, since it has a big history.

Cannabis hemmt Metastasen
Cannabis macht nicht nur high, Wirkstoffe der Pflanzen können auch kranken Menschen helfen. In der Medizin werden sie vor allem eingesetzt, um Übelkeit und Erbrechen bei Chemopatienten zu lindern. Doch es gibt auch seit Längerem Hinweise dafür, dass die sogenannten Cannabinoide direkt zur Krebstherapie taugen: Sie hemmen möglicherweise die Teilung von Krebszellen und fördern das Absterben der Tumorzellen.

Hanfplantage brannte nieder
Neben der Indoor-Anlage im Wohnhaus, bei der 93 Hanfstauden unmittelbar vor der Ernte gestanden waren, wurden auch in der angrenzenden Lagerhalle Equipment zur Errichtung einer weiteren Hanfzucht und getrocknetes Marihuana entdeckt. Auch die Halle hatte der 42-jährige Wiener angemietet. Rund 13 Kilogramm Marihuana lagen, teilweise bereits fix und fertig verpackt, für den Weiterverkauf bereit.

Crossbreed Bike Wheels Fold Automagically
A UK Designer has come up with a full-sized wheel that can be completely folded. Duncan Fitzsimmons' Crossbreed wheel doesn't have the poor-performance delivered by the tiny wheels on folding bikes and despite sounding pretty dangerous it actually works, as you can see in the video.

Great research on movie piracy
Kudos to Los Angelino Andy Baio for putting together a fabulous review of online movie piracy since 2003. It's mainly raw data today; Baio promised to offer some analysis on his blog, Waxy.org, tomorrow. Focusing on a slice of the film industry -- the titles that earned Academy Award nominations for their producers, actors or crew -- Baio examined how many days elapsed between the movie's release and the availability of various bootlegged versions online.

eBay Bans Negative Feedback For Buyers; Everyone Be Good Now
The fees on sold goods were actually higher. Now, the company has banned sellers from giving "negative" feedback on buyers. This is quite an interesting move. Years back, eBay was often held up as the epitome of user feedback/rating systems.
