Classical Mobility
Retrobrick sells vintage and rare mobile phones.

A Race is the Plan, the Plan is Death
Perhaps you have been unfortunate enough to see the new, micro-miniaturized version of Death Race a micro-miniaturized film (a “remake” of the 1975 version of Death Race 2000), wherein all salient characters plot devices, twists, denouements, etc. are reveal’d in the space of 2 and one-half minutes.
While the original movie seems to have spawned an early video-game adaptation, the new movie script seems to have been drawn from the game.
Sadly, the remake of the video game will probably inspire yet another sequel.
This is such an abuse of a wonderful technology.

magnetic-electronic “paper”

A, not just possibly as the host warns us, definitely interesting history of computing with just enough photos to whet our appetites.
