Underground metro stations are inhumanely warm come sun or rain, so it makes sense for builders of a new housing estate in Paris to want to draw from that energy, harnessing it for 17 apartments’ heating systems above-ground.
It’s also the most beautiful, keeping all of the original fittings from the old bank that was once situated there. Instead of using their typical chrome-and-glass stairs, Apple thankfully chose to keep the stunning carved wooden stairs and wrought-iron railings.
Proof again that Paris gets all the best artworks in the world. It’s just not fair. As part of a Facebook campaign from BlackBerry, the two-storey-high phone will display messages and photos sent in by fans on Facebook.
After a whole bunch of hype, the first augmented reality app for the iPhone 3GS is now available (yeah!)…for Paris subway travellers (Ugh).
