Wired Best of Test: Apple iPhone Yeah, yeah, the iPhone isn't perfect. But even with a few missing features — like 3G connectivity, video recording, IM, and MMS — it's still the most awesome cell phone ever. The multitouch screen is amazingly responsive and easy to navigate; even typing works decently, once you start trusting the auto-suggest feature. The bright, 3.5-inch widescreen display made this the first iPod really built for watching videos, and YouTube support puts more entertainment at your fingertips. The voicemail, which lets you access each message individually, is simply brilliant. Like a second slice of cheesecake, you don't need the iPhone, but you want it anyway. Review Wired iPhone Gadget |

We Have Ignition! NASA Tests a New Rocket How do you test a new kind of rocket engine? Step 1: Bolt it to a trailer in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Step 2: Vroom! In this case, NASA is firing up the 5M15, which runs on compressed liquid methane. The odorless substance has multiple advantages over conventional rocket propellants: It's cheaper, it requires much less insulation, and it exists on several planets NASA hopes to travel to — Mars, here we come. That means astronauts could collect their own fuel for the trip home. Bonus rocket science: Those glowing figure eights in the blast stream are called Mach disks, after the guy who lent his name to the speed of sound. They're shock waves, created as the expanding fuel hits the higher atmospheric pressure outside the nozzle. If part of this blast weren't obscured, you could take the number of Mach disks (we count seven) and multiply by the speed of sound — about 758 mph at the 1,300-foot altitude of this test — to estimate the speed of fuel exiting the engine. Just don't get too close. By Erin Biba | Wired Magazine Issue 15.09 Wired Nasa Rocket |

Pecha Kucha: Get to the PowerPoint in 20 Slides Let us now bullet-point our praise for Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein, two Tokyo-based architects who have turned PowerPoint, that fixture of cubicle life, into both art form and competitive sport. Their innovation, dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for "chatter"), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. That's it. Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down. The result, in the hands of masters of the form, combines business meeting and poetry slam to transform corporate clich into surprisingly compelling beat-the-clock performance art. The duo — Dytham is British, Klein Italian — invented pecha-kucha four years ago to help revive a struggling performance space they owned. The first presentations were such a hit that they began hosting monthly pecha-kucha events, boozy affairs at which Tokyo architects and designers showcased their streamlined offerings to crowds of hundreds. Now there are pecha-nights in 80 cities, from Amsterdam and Atlanta to San Francisco and Shanghai. Why? Dytham believes that the rules have a liberating effect. "Suddenly," he says, "there's no preciousness in people's presentations." Just poetry. By Dan Pink | Wired Magazine Issue 15.09 Wired Pecha Kucha |
