News Checker: Ups and Downs
This Spring week, News Checker is all about change, out with the old …and in with the new. While we try to find wireless solutions to replace all that toxic e-junk from the nineties, WIRED magazine has come up with a novel and hysterical way to dispose of old gadgets.

On a more creative note, Inhabitat points out the artwork of Phil Ross, made from recycled cell phones and “adapted cameras” ie the artist dumped a series of cameras into a cement mixer and ground them into future, recycled versions of themselves. Inspiring.
