Apple release iOS 4.0.1 to the wild


It seemed that Apple is too anxious to share with the whole world about the new redesigned signal bars in the iPhone 4, and they can’t wait until the iOS 4.1 to be ready. Therefore, Apple has released the iOS 4.0.1. This update is just up yesterday, and therefore there’s not much known on this update.
When the iPhone 4’s antenna issue went into scrutiny, Apple went on to promise that in a future software update they would make bars 1, 2, and 3 taller, and make the bars more “accurate” by displaying 2 bars fewer in certain circumstances.
Here’s where the iOS 4.0.1 comes in. The only significantly obvious changes would be the changes in the bars displayed. Apple made bar 1 and bar 2 of their signal bar taller. But that is not visually enough to describe the new ‘formula’ that Apple thinks is much better than how the older iOS 4.0 shows it.

The Mercury Train concept might be your favorite train yet


This is Britain’s train expert, Paul the Octopus Priestman’s design, the double-decker Mercury train.
In his opinion, Britain’s long-distance high-speed railway transport has been long overdue, and very much outdated. He planned to introduce the Mercury as a key to achieving sustainable, low-carbon transportation and invigorating British industry. The best example of badass engineering and total luxury?
