Un vélo en carton qui peut être construit pour moins de $15. 06/08/2012 Transport Il y a quelques temps, Duke Studios annonçait la création des premiers bureaux en carton recyclé.
Izhar Gafni est un entrepreneur israélien qui exploite également le carton d’une façon toute aussi inédite. En effet, il a construit un vélo entièrement composé de carton recyclé qui couterait moins de $15 à produire, plus précisément entre $9 et $12 en moyenne par unité. Le carton utilisé est particulièrement solide puisque ce vélo peut supporter un poids d’environ 130 kilos. Le coût de production est l’un des atouts majeurs de ce vélo, mais pas seulement, puisque la démarche écologique est dans l’air du temps et très appréciée des consommateurs. Léger et facilement transportable, il est tout à fait adapté à un milieu urbain.

Lego's Life of George Is a iPhone Game That Uses Real Legos.
You've probably played a game on an iPhone and you've probably built something using Legos.
But have you done both simultaneously? Lego has expanded into the world of mobile gaming with its game Life of George, that has you build Lego structures using real-world blocks. The game is the first fully-integrated digital-to-physical game from Lego, and follows the exploits of George, “a software developer by day and adventurer by night” through his travels to places like Hawaii and New York. In each location, George takes some snapshots of things you find there and fills up his virtual scrapbook. Game play involves you building the things George wants pictures of, and then taking pictures of your creations with your iPhone or iPod touch. The game was released in October, and recently walked away with an award at SXSWi in the Amusement category, and made its way to our San Francisco Mashable office for a test drive. How it works.

The best businesses emerge out of trial-and-error experimentation. Use simple tools to develop your hypothesis Here’s a seemingly simple question: How do you know your idea is good?

You've graduated from college, diploma in hand (or in the mail), and you have a couple of job offers on the table.
Other than being one of the lucky graduates in a weak economy, you have a choice to make. On one hand is a high-paying entry level position at a reputable brand in your field. On the other hand is a job offer from a small startup that is just kicking off. You've seen their product, believe in their mission, and like their approach, but aren't sure you want to take on the risk of working at a startup. You're leaning toward that corporate job and good pay with nice benefits. Or is it? Here are 8 reasons why you should take the plunge and enter the startup world instead. 1.
