Banana Peels & Green Shells: Mario Kart IRL
This is the follow up to Remi Gaillard's first real-life Mario Kart video from 2008. Wow, has it really been that long? It seems like only yesterday I was stuffing my pockets with airplane bottles for a trip to the doctor (it was yesterday is the thing). Damn yeah I like to bring my own anesthesia! Just kidding, it's because Blue Cross took away my health insurance. You pee blood out your navel one time...
Hit the jump for the banana and turtle tossing in action.

The analytics platform for merchants and venue owners remains oriented towards the US, but Crowley said they were looking at further internationalisation. He added that they would be focusing on the API this year.

Apple To Take On Android With No-Contract ‘iPhone Nano’
It’s no secret that Apple has but one phone while its rival Google has a whole, giant family of Android handsets. And it’s going to get more difficult to compete with all those levels of Android devices if Apple doesn’t branch out a bit.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is already on it. Of course, the Verizon iPhone (which launched today!!) is one such step, but Apple is also working on a smaller, less expensive iPhone to help diversify its iPhone customer base. That phone would be about a third smaller than the current iPhone and would use parts from the iPhone 4, rather than more advanced, expensive components from the upcoming iPhone 5, which it could be launched alongside.
According to the report, Apple is considering offering this new iPhone ‘Nano’ for $200 without a contract, which would let customers pick and switch between cell phone providers. While Google famously dabbled in the no-contract waters with the Nexus One, it charged a high premium for the untied handset. So a $200, no-contract phone would be huge.
Making it even huger, Apple is also reportedly developing a dual-mode phone that could switch between networks. Imagine if that phone were sold without contract: it would be an iPhone that could work on major U.S. network without being tied to a single one. That could certainly change everything.
Of course, since we’re working in unconfirmed rumors right now, that’s all we really can do: imagine. [via Bloomberg]

Over 1,000 Nokia Employees Walk Out in Protest of WP7 Switch
Looks like some Nokia employees -- specifically those that work specifically on the now-dead Symbian platform -- are not particularly happy about the switch to Windows Phone 7. Over 1,000 employees at the company's Tampere and Oulu offices in Finland decided to use their flextime to leave work early today in protest of the move. Maybe they'll use the time to bone up on their Windows Phone developer skills.
