Granted this isn't mobile phone related, but look it's technology related and it involves an ancient computer and LEGO. Do I need any more justification for posting it? No, didn't think so!
Andrew Carol, an engineer at Apple, took 1,500 LEGO pieces and recreated a working version of the Antikythera Mechanism, regarded by many as the first computer, built by the ancient Greeks more than 2,000 years ago. The device was used to calculate celestial movements such as solar explipes.
Take a look at the video below and see Mr Carol at work:

HTC is a company on the up, much like it's dominant product line, Android handsets. The Taiwanese manufacturer is apparently aiming to increase its shipments in 2011 by an astonishing 200%.
So far this year HTC is on course to ship 20 million handsets, with Q3 2010 having seen 6.4 million shipped. That's a big increase over the 2.6 million shipped in Q3 2009 and 20 million for the whole of 2010 is a huge leap from the 11.7 million shipped in 2009.
DigiTimes are reporting though that HTC are aiming for a figure of 60 million for 2011. HTC is said to have outlined its plans during a meeting with parts suplliers in Taipei. No doubt Android will feature prominently in this lofty goal, but Windows Phone 7 could increasingly feature in HTC's portfolio, assuming that it manages to break out and gain a serious foothold in the market as a whole.

A not terribly impressive result for the PlayStation phone in benchmark testing it has to be said. Of course this isn't the final product, but it will nonetheless be disappointing to those hoping for some blazing performance. Hopefully it ramps up before launch.

Android afcionados keen to give Windows Phone 7 a whirl can test the water (sort of) with a new theme for Android that mimics (sort of) the Metro UI that comes with Windows Phone 7.
Just to be clear here, this is just a theme, it offers none of the functionality associated with Metro UI. For example, there are no slick animations and the tiles won't display live information, they're just shortcuts for launching your apps. Customisation is also pretty limited as you are limited in terms of what colours you use and repositioning apps is a bit of a pain in that you have to rmeove them and then re-pin them to move them about.
Is it worth it? Well at $2.99 I'd have to say no unless you really really want your Android device to gain a Windows Phone 7 look. If you need more convincing why not watch this video with an inappropriately excited soundtrack?
