It’s about that time of year where the leaves begin to change color, if you live in a fall folliage area. But if you don’t?
A designer in Japan has crafted paper leaves that are sensitive to temperature change. At room temperature (68-77°F), the leaf remains green. Temperatures below that point will turn the leaf brown, while temperatures above will turn them yellow. Each leaf includes an adhesive backing in order to stick to a surface to use as a thermometer.
There are currently two options to choose from – 5 large leaves (2.6″ x 6.6″) or 8 small leaves (1.7″ x 4.4″) for $22 from Reckless!Excessive!!Japan!!!.

AT&T announced it will carry Nokia’s two upcoming Windows Phone 8 devices, the high-end Lumia 920 and the mid-tier Lumia 820, and that both will be available for purchase in November. More surprisingly, it also revealed that the Lumia 920 will be an AT&T exclusive.
In an AT&T statement released on Thursday, SVP of Devices and Developer Services Jeff Bradley said that the Lumia 920 is “exclusive to our customers” and goes on to describe the phone’s features. Bradley does not mention the Lumia 820, which indicates that the lower-end Lumia smartphone will be available on other carriers.
According to AT&T, the Lumia 920 and 820 will both run on its 4G network. The Lumia 920 will come in red, white, black, yellow and cyan. The Lumia 820 will be available in a single black, although users can purchase Nokia’s removable colored back covers to customize the phone. AT&T did not give any specific release date beyond November.
Nokia first announced its new Lumia lineup at a press event in September, revealing two handsets running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system. The company kept quiet on release and pricing details at the time, and has been slowly unveiling this information through regional carriers. Several European carriers released pricing for the Lumia 920 and 820 late last month. AT&T, however, did not provide any pricing details with its latest announcement.
HTC had previously announced that its Windows Phone 8X and 8S will be available on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, also with a November release date, but there is no official word on pricing for those models either.

According to website Expensive Places, the world’s largest ferris wheel will soon be constructed on Staten Island, New York. It will stand 60 stories (630ft) tall and have 36 capsules that can accommodate 40 passengers each. That means a total of 1440 people can ride on this ferris wheel at one time. Due to be completed by the end of 2015, this attraction will rival the London Eye ferris wheel which is the largest in Europe at 443ft tall. There’s no info on how much this attraction will cost per ride. Looks scary – but fun.

Google has added Street View, its panoramic ground-level mapping service, to its iPhone and iPad web app. That should hopefully ease the pain currently being experienced by iOS 6 users who found Street View missing following the September update. When Apple ditched Google as their mapping data provider and created the new, and controversial iOS 6 Maps app, they lost Street View and instead offered Flyover, which is nowhere near as useful. Thankfully Google has added a nice feature for iOS users.
Street View allows you to visually inspect a location, move down a street, turn around, and zoom into place you were planning to visit. If you were unsure what a building, shop, or restaurant looked like, Street View could help make sure you recognized it when you got there. And now, when you visit Google Maps in Safari on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you will see the familiar symbol of a person that you can click on and it takes your straight to Street View.
It works very well and the Google web app does offer a nice alternative to Apple’s own native maps app. Of course it is still nowhere near as good an experience as the previous native Google Maps app that we had with iOS 5. It will help to ease the pain while waiting for Apple to improve its offering or Google getting a dedicated Google Maps app into the App Store. Either way, it all helps!
You can also create a short cut to the Google Maps web app right on your iPhone home screen. Selecting this option will give you a rather bland, black and white Google Maps icon on your home screen with a red push pin, but it’s better than nothing.
