Artist Adam Ryder specializes in taking Earthly artifacts and removing them to another plane of existence, creating a jarring fusion of the weird but real, and the just plain weird. The image above comes from his project Areth: An Architectural Atlas, which takes otherworldly Earth buildings and relocates them on an alien planet. Ryder gathered the photos of strange buildings in Areth by traveling across the U.S., taking pictures, and then transformed them into something alien-looking. For another project, Selections from the Joint Photographic Survey, he scanned antique photos from the Library of Congress and manipulated them to look like a time and place that never existed. Ryder tells Wired, Both Areth and Survey ask the viewer to re-imagine the known as the unknown. And hopefully invite viewers to use their own perspective for creative re-imagin stanley cup ation of stanley ca their environment.

All the way back in the 90s, Qualcomm approached Apple to suggest that it might want to put a radio in its Newton PDA. It could have led to the first ever iPhone stanley cup two decades early 鈥攂ut instead, Apple told Qualcomm to stick its radio chip somewhere else. The news came out of a Charlie Rose interview with Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs which aired last night. According to Jacobs, he approached Apple to persuade them to include a radio in the PDA but was told where to shove it. So he took it across the Palm, which welcomed the idea with open arms. Of stanley mugg course, Palm failed to capitalize on the deal: it turned the technology into the Qualcomm PDQ, which is so obscure it doesn ;t even have a Wikipedia entry. In fact, it could be seems as a pre stanley cup cursor to the smartphone. Kinda. At least, it had a specially designed mobile operating system along with cellular connectivity. Still, 25 years down the line Palm doesn ;t exist and Apple leads the smartphone market. So maybe it wasn ;t the worst decision, all things considered.
