Morph airline seating.
Traveling by air on a budget isn’t pleasant. Despite huge leaps forward in comfort for the upper classes (and the more recent “premium economy” class), the economy section of a cabin is more often than not cramped, packed, and charmless.

GE reveals vision of what our homes will be like in 2025
GE rolls out their vision of the future. Sometimes we often wind up with a bunch of design concepts that have zero chance of making it to market because those design concepts are usually designed for “the home of 2050” or some other far-off date that nobody’s really thinking about yet.

Average faces of women from around the world
The results of a recent experiment have been published by FaceResearch.org. Experimental psychologists at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have combined the faces of women around the world to approximate the “average face” of each country. Multiple images of faces are aligned and composited together to form the final result using a modern version of the technique that Sir Francis Galton pioneered in the 1800′s.
