3D Paintings on Panes of Glass Using multiple layers of clear glass, Canada based David Spriggs and Chinese born Xia Xiaowan, transform flat artwork into 3D sculptures. Viewers are treated to different shifting perspectives of the works based on where they stand in the art space. Spriggs work revolves around powerful explosive imagery, often resembling storms, cosmic blasts or firework like explosions. Xiawan’s “spatial paintings,” which often feature distorted figures, are drawn individually using colored pencil on tinted glass. Only when these pieces are combined on their floor racks do the images create the whole hologram like effect.

Disguise Your iPhone as the First Macintosh With These Retro Cases The iPhone 4S is one of the slickest devices out there, with its jet-black glass-on-metal look. But we love a good retro throwback--like these old school Apple design iPhone cases by Schreer Delights. The line of cases replicates the look and feel of Apple’s designs for the original Macintosh, iPod, and a few Macs from Apple’s PowerPC days. Anyways, strap yourself into the nostalgia train while we take a look back at Apple before it was cool. First up is the Apple Power Mac G4-themed case. Next up is the iMac G3-inspired case (pictured at top), and of course it’s the one that comes in the most (neon) colors. What's left to say about the iPod? Last stop is a case inspired by the first-ever Macintosh computer (below), which made its debut in 1984. If you dig these iPhone cases, you can buy them directly from Schreer Delights for $45 each.

Next supercontinent will form at North Pole Make the most of the Caribbean on your next vacation - it won't be around for ever. Geologists at Yale University have developed a radical new theory of the formation of continents, and predict the creation of a new supercontinent, dubbed Amasia, over the North Pole during the next 50 to 200 million years. First to disappear, they say, will be the Caribbean and the Arctic Ocean. The team is proposing a process called orthoversion, in which each succeeding supercontinent forms 90 degrees from the geographic center of its ancient predecessor. "After those water bodies close, we’re on our way to the next supercontinent," says Ross N Mitchell, the Yale doctoral student who is the paper’s first author. Current theories hold that supercontinents form either 0 or 180 degrees away from the geographic center of the previous supercontinent. However, Mitchell and his colleagues have arrived at a different theory, after studying the magnetism of ancient rocks.
