One of the banes of urban life is noise. You'll often find yourself in a chatter-filled diner trying to field a cell phone call, and stepping outside to find it's even noisier.

Pantech's new A1407PT cell phone may provide a good design solution; rather than a speaker-style earpiece, it transmits sound via bone conduction. Press the end of the cell phone underneath or behind your ear, and the caller's voice travels through your bones, undisturbed by the jackhammers and chatty Cathy's sharing your immediate space.

Originally targeted at workers in Japanese construction sites, we're sure Pantech will find a market in noisy cities around the world.

    "World's Capital" cursed with world's worst logo

    Well folks, the New York City taxi logo is now officially the ugliest thing in the world and a perfect example of what's wrong with design in America. What knucklehead came up with this poorly-spaced bi-font disaster? For chrissakes this is New York--the city that's home to Pentagram, arguably one...

    Gun-mounted camera to be tested by US police

    Following a controversial police shooting, the police department of Newburgh, New York will be the first US PD to begin testing the PistolCam. The small device clips to the barrel's underside and begins recording the moment the gun is drawn, which will hopefully make trigger-happy officers think twice before playing...

    DoubleButter's Rogue Bench lives up to its name

    DoubleButter's civil service furniture graffiti "installations" of these Rogue Benches are to be seen as more civil service, less graffiti. The design duo chose spots in front of Denver's big-name museums that feature next to no local talent to covertly plant these sleek, modern resting places--in and out in less...
