We've made it through another week, which means it's time for a reward. From accidental art on the iPad to handsomely restored vintage speakers, we have plenty of beautiful things for you to ogle at this week.
And they look even better in our new and improved format.
Camera-lovers aren't the only ones who get to fawn over retro design nowadays. German company Soundpauli has made a racket of taking vintage speakers and restoring them to their former glory. They're stunning.
When you check your email, when you play Temple Run, when you're selecting a song to listen to, you're making art. You just don't know it. In a series called Invisible Hieroglyphics, artists Andre Woolery and Victor AbiJaoudi highlight those hidden masterpieces you don't even mean to make.
A glassblower's weapon of choice has been a simple blowpipe over 2,000 years now. It's a tried and true device. But that doesn't mean there's no room to jazz it up a little, and that's exactly what "Strange Symphony" does.
If Braun's ET66 calculator looks oddly familiar, like you've used it before, you probably have. Originally released in 1987, the ET66 shed the sliding switches of its predecessors, the ET22 released in 1976 and the ET44 released in 1978, and became an icon of product design. So much so that the iPhone's original?
Watching carpenter Andy Stewart wield chisels and mallets and planks in the service of boats will make you ache with sadness for the lost craft. But then you hear Stewart talk, and you realize that he's not some sap that history left behind?he's a genius.
These days, most of us expect the things we buy online to arrive within a day or two. After all, why does ecommerce exist, if not to deliver a horsehead mask to my doorstep within 24 hours?
Recently, Gizmodo had a chance to go out to the Transformers HQ at Hasbro's home office outside of Providence, Rhode Island. We got to see how the classic toys are designed from the ground up, as well as the workshop where early prototypes for all of Hasbro's toys are put together. It was a pretty great time.
A crop of newly reimagined government forms beautify and clarify the documents that define us (as far as the government is concerned, at least). But should we be thinking harder about how these forms function, alongside how they look?
A quality grinder is an essential tool in making good coffee or espresso, but they're often known more for their utility than their beauty. The HG-One though, is a different beast. Its sleek beauty will make you forget how much cranking is involved.
If ever there was something bubbling out of the primordial ooze it's these little pools of light. There's something that's just gloopy and compelling about them. This is KIHOU, a series produced by tangent, a London/Tokyo design studio.

HONG KONG (AP) ? A six-story-high rubber duck is making a big splash in Hong Kong.
Crowds watched the inflatable duck being pulled by tugboat across Victoria Harbor in front of Hong Kong's signature skyscraper skyline.
Tourist Zhang Wenjin from Shanghai says it's a big surprise. "This is huge. My daughter liked it when she saw it just now. Because kids like cute stuff."
Yu Kwan Yee of Hong Kong was part of the crowd. "The duckie is swimming," the 2 ?-year-old said.
Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman created the bright-yellow duck, and it was built of PVC material in New Zealand by a company specializing in large sails.
Hofman was on hand as the duck arrived and said it later had to be deflated because high winds and waves created a "big challenge."
The duck has been transported around the world since 2007, bringing a message of peace and harmony. It has previously been to Osaka, Japan, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Auckland, New Zealand, and Amsterdam.
It will be anchored at a Hong Kong terminal for display until June.

Built by Patrick Priebe to be a near exact replica of the weapon used in the game, the Plasma Cutter apparently took over 200 hours to build and includes impressively animated elements in addition to three extra green lasers used for targeting. Thankfully the gun can't just cut through anything like a lightsaber, but as demonstrated in the video monsters made from either wood or plastic don't stand a chance. [Laser Gadgets via Gizmag]

NEW YORK (AP) ? Parents are reporting more skin and food allergies in their children, a big government survey found.
Experts aren't sure what's behind the increase. Could it be that children are growing up in households so clean that it leaves them more sensitive to things that can trigger allergies? Or are mom and dad paying closer attention to rashes and reactions, and more likely to call it an allergy?
"We don't really have the answer," said Dr. Lara Akinbami of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the senior author of the new report released Thursday.
The CDC survey suggests that about 1 in 20 U.S. children have food allergies. That's a 50 percent increase from the late 1990s. For eczema and other skin allergies, it's 1 in 8 children, an increase of 69 percent. It found no increase, however, in hay fever or other respiratory allergies.
Already familiar with the trend in food allergies are school nurses, who have grown busier with allergy-related duties, like banishing peanuts at school parties or stocking emergency allergy medicine.
Sally Schoessler started as school nurse in 1992 in New York state, and didn't encounter a child with a food allergy for a few years. But by the time she left school nursing in 2005, "there were children in the majority of classrooms" with the disorder, said Schoessler, who now works at the National Association of School Nurses in Silver Spring, Md.
Food allergies tend to be most feared; severe cases may cause anaphylactic shock or even death from eating, say, a peanut. But many food allergies are milder and something children grow out of. Skin conditions like eczema, too, can be mild and temporary.
It's been difficult getting exact numbers for children's allergies, and the new report isn't precise. It uses annual surveys of thousands of adults interviewed in person. The report compares answers from 1997-1999 to those from 2009-2011.
Parents were asked if ? in the previous year ? their child had any kind of food or digestive allergy, any eczema or skin allergy, or any kind of respiratory allergy like hay fever.
The researchers did not ask if a doctor had made the diagnosis or check medical records. So some parents may have been stating a personal opinion, and not necessarily a correct one.
"We see a lot of kids in clinic that really aren't" allergic to the foods their parents worry about, said Dr. Morton Galina, a pediatric allergist at Atlanta's Emory School of Medicine.
For example, hives are sometimes blamed on a certain food when a virus was the actual cause, he added.
But experts also said they believe there is a real ? and unexplained ? increase going on, too.
One of the more popular theories is "the hygiene hypothesis," which says that exposure to germs and parasites in early childhood somehow prevents the body from developing certain allergies.
The hypothesis argues that there is a downside to America's culture of disinfection and overuse of antibiotics. The argument has been bolstered by a range of laboratory and observational studies, including some that have found lower rates of eczema and food allergies in foreign-born children in the U.S.
There could be other explanations, though. Big cities have higher childhood allergy rates, so maybe some air pollutant is the unrecognized trigger, said Dr. Peter Lio, a Northwestern University pediatric dermatologist who specializes in eczema.
Some suspect the change has something to do with the evolution in how foods are grown and produced, like the crossbreeding of wheat or the use of antibiotics in cattle. But Lio said tests haven't supported that.
Emory's Galina said the new CDC statistics may reflect a recent "sea change" in the recommendations for when young children should first eat certain foods.
In families with a history of eczema or food allergies, parents were advised to wait for years before introducing their young children to foods tied to severe allergies, like peanuts, milks and eggs. But professional associations changed that advice a few years ago after research suggested that allergies were more likely in those kids when the foods were delayed.
The old advice "was exactly the wrong thing to do," and could have contributed to some of the increased cases, Galina said.
The CDC report also found:
? Food and respiratory allergies are more common in higher-income families than the poor,
? Eczema and skin allergies are most common among the poor.
? More black children have the skin problems, 17 percent, compared to 12 percent of white children and about 10 percent of Hispanic children.
The mother of a 13-year-old girl, who is black, runs an eczema support group in suburban Washington, D.C. Renee Dantzler says roughly half the families in her group are African-American. Eczema is an itchy skin condition, which often occurs on the arms or behind the knees. The cause isn't always clear.
Her daughter, Jasmine, started getting rashes at 6 months and got much worse when she was 4.
"Her whole body would flare. If she ate something, you would kind of hold your breath," Dantzler said. "And she's allergic to every grass and tree God made."
Her daughter took to wearing long sleeves and pants, even in hot weather, so people wouldn't see her skin scarred ? and whitened in spots ? from scratching. She began to improve about four years ago with steroid creams and other treatments and has gradually become less self-conscious about her skin, Dantzler said.
She's now on a school track team, which means wearing shorts.
"She's the only one on the team with long socks," her mom said.

And perhaps they're right, but, Google Glass is clearly not the present. It's not even the near-future, if the early reviews that are rolling in turn out to be accurate.
I haven't worn Glass. While I think it looks neat, I don't see a killer application that makes them worth it.
After reading all the reviews, and talking to people who actually wore Glass, I just see a product plagued by bugs, and of questionable use, that's generating a lot of buzz because people want so desperately to have some new gadget to latch onto, and fear being wrong about the next major technology trend.
Let's run through the ugly truth about Glass.
Much of these things can be fixed over time by Google. These are hardware and software tweaks.
But even when these things are fixed, we still haven't heard a single compelling use case for Glass.
After reading the most enthusiastic review of Glass on the web from early adopter Robert Scoble, the biggest reason for owning Glass is that you can take photos more quickly.
The photo quality, it should be noted is worse than that of your iPhone or the latest Android.
His other reason for buying Glass is, "They are much more social than looking at a cell phone. Why? I don't need to look away from you to use Google, or get directions, or do other things."
That's actually not true. You have to look up to activate Glass, or lift your eye to see the display. The person you're with will see you checking email, or whatever you're trying to do.
These things are going to cause a lot of social angst early on. It's hard to imagine going out to dinner with your wife and not getting heat for wearing Glass. Or hanging with your friends at a bar, and having them believe you're fully committed to the conversation.
Looking at your phone in front of friends sends a direct, honest signal that you are tuning them out. With Google Glass, you're doing the exact same thing, just in a more surreptitious way.
There's a lot of excitement around Google Glass right now because it's new, shiny, and exciting.
The iPad was the last new, shiny, exciting tech gadget. And that was three years ago.
Three years may not sound like a long time to you, but imagine if your entire livelihood is built around writing about new gadgets, or selling applications for new gadgets? Of course you're going to get excited about the next new thing.
Thus, the tech press, and the tech investment community, is thrilled with Google Glass.
Plus, Google has brilliantly limited the roll out of the product. Early on, a few Googlers had them. Naturally, they were enthusiastic about the potential of Glass.
Then, Google held a contest to win Glass, giving people the privilege of paying $1,500 to be beta testers for its new gadget.
(By the way, why is it so expensive? It's not using top of the line processing, according to leaked specs. It's about as powerful as the original Kindle, which cost $159 right now. Is miniaturization and a metal headband a $1,341 cost?)
The people that won the right to pay $1,500 for Glass are inherently disposed to like Glass, no matter what. Would you tell your friends you blew $1,500 on something that's totally useless?
There's another reason people are irrationally excited about Glass, despite seeing a long list of problems ? nobody wants to be the person that was wrong about the future.
The tech elite have decided that Glass is the future, dammit. If you say otherwise you're a short-sighted Luddite who can't accept how the world is about to change. You will be ridiculed in five years when everyone and their grandmother is walking the streets will creepy pieces of glass floating over their right eyes.
If you don't say something nice now, people will remember it, they will mock you, and you will be a fool. It's better to be safe and say something like, "it is undoubtedly a game-changer," despite the fact that you only see problems with Glass.
There is a lot of excitement around Glass, but the early reviews are making it clear that this is very much a first generation product that's very buggy, and will probably fail to revolutionize the tech industry, at least as Glass is currently built.

Samsung announced in March that its Knox security suite would debut with the Galaxy S 4. That might not have happened exactly as planned, but just as the WSJ predicted the Department of Defense has given it the official hat-tip for use in government departments. Good news for Samsung, who will now see its Knox-enabled devices added to the alongside BlackBerry on the official list of approved hardware. This also represents the first time any Android devices have been deemed secure enough for use by US services. With iOS believed to be going through the same boot-camp trials, agencies could be about to get a lot more choice.
