Carbon’s Domino Clock is pretty much just what it sounds like: three giant dominoes hanging on the wall and telling the time in a difficult-to-read fashion that would make Tokyo Flash proud. With a little deciphering, though, you can work out what it says. In the picture above, the clock reads 12:59 (at least I think it does).
More interesting than the aesthetics is the mechanism. The dots flop over like the numbers on those old digital flip-clocks, although instead of plastic leaves it uses a solid multi-sided block that only draws power when it is rotated. The dots use a custom actuator, with the magnet actually running around the coil. The motors were designed to flip the dots slowly enough to give a sense of heft and gravity.
This adds a nice mechanical touch and makes things exciting when all the numbers cascade at once, although it runs in deathly silence, and will run on batteries for a couple years, which is impressive given the size.
Sadly, you can’t buy one. But you can watch this video of how it works:

Free iPhone App Wirelessly Syncs Photos to Computer

Syncing an iPhone to a computer stinks: You have to physically plug in the device using USB, and iTunes still takes forever to copy your files. Apple hasn’t delivered a cloud-based iTunes yet, but a new iPhone app at least offers a wireless syncing solution for photos.

With the app Cinq, you can snap photos and save them straight into a folder on your computer even when you’re outside. Here’s how it works:

• You download the Cinq app for Mac or Windows to create a server on your computer. Register to create an account.
• Then you download the Cinq app for iPhone and log in with your Cinq account.
• From here on, you can pop open Cinq and tap the camera icon to snap a photo, and it will save straight into your Cinq folder on the desktop.
• You can also choose photos stored in your iPhone’s photo library and save them into Cinq.

It’s a pretty nifty app, especially for iPhone shutterbugs who haven’t gotten in the habit of plugging in and syncing to iTunes and iPhoto on a regular basis.

I just have a minor complaint: When choosing stored photos from an iPhone album to send to Cinq, we can only select one photo at a time. It’d be much more efficient if we could select multiple photos, or even the entire camera roll, to wirelessly sync with our Cinq folder.

But hey — Cinq is less than a week old, so hopefully future software updates will make this a really sweet app. It’s a free download in the iTunes App Store; there’s also a $2 version that’s ad-free.

Next Android Version Includes E-Wallet for Real World Purchases

Google’s newest iteration of its Android phone OS will include a wallet that lets you use your phone to make payments by tapping it against a cash register, CEO Eric Schmidt revealed Monday.

“This could eventually replace credit cards,” Schmidt said.

Android 2.3, codenamed Gingerbread, will be released in a “few weeks,” Schmidt said on stage at the Web 2.0 Summit conference in San Francisco. Schmidt showed off how so-called Near Field Communication would work using an unnamed smartphone he called an unannounced product. Using the software from Android and a NFC chip in the phone, Schmidt was able to “check in” to the conference, launching Google Maps, by touching the phone to a conference sign that had a built-in antenna.

(For geeks, there was little doubt Schmidt was showing off the Nexus S, a device thought to be made by Samsung as the successor to the original Nexus One. Unlike most other Android phones sold, the Nexus S will run the stock Android OS with no carrier modifications, making it the perfect phone for app developers and tinkerers.)

Near Field Communication sounds fancy, but it’s the same technology build into debit cards that can be used to make a payment by bumping against a reader at a store or gas pump. Android 2.3 devices that have the right on-board chip will be able to make payments using stored credit card numbers or other payment systems such as PayPal.

While U.S. geeks have long hungered for their phones to take the place of plastic credit cards, the NFC technology is not likely to replace credit card companies. In fact, Schmidt said those companies are excited about Near Field Communication because they think it will reduce fraud.

Despite running its own payment solution called Google Checkout, Google will be aggregating many payment systems, not trying to replace them, according to Schmidt.

“Ultimately, it is a personal, secure and aggregating technology,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt says he’s bullish on mobile and says it will be a core focus for Google.

“I don’t think people figured out how much more powerful the mobile devices would become than desktops,” he said, referring not to their processors, but to their ability to keep a user connected to the net everywhere and use location to customize the net.

Schmidt imagines a future where mobile users who opt in to getting notices and suggestions will have local merchants sending targeted deals their way. Companies with smart algorithms and knowledge of your likes and dislikes (such as Google) can send you suggestions — such as where you might like to go for a coffee, or even remind you that you needed dental floss and there’s a drugstore around the corner having a sale on it.

There’s a lot Google could do with mobile if it knew more about users’ friends and family — their so-called “social graph,” but right now, that data is mostly locked up in Facebook, Schmidt said.

“We think that link structure has great value,” Schmidt said “This kind of information is generally open so that its owners can move it around. I’m worried, as a general statement, that business structures are causing people to keep too much information private.”

“It’s possible to build these businesses using open protocols,” Schmidt said, clearly referring to Facebook’s Open Graph protocol, which data-portability advocates say is more about keeping people tied to Facebook than being open to all comers.
