Best of the Rest: Bill Nye on the iPhone, Retro Twitter (Circa 1935)



There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Bill Nye, one of the coolest nerds of the '90s, explains the chemistry behind the iPhone 3GS's fingerprint-proof screen. [Gizmodo]
  • If you like your bathwater to the perfect temperature and hate fiddling with the shower controls, check out bathomatic, an iPhone app that gives you full control of your luxury tub. [Unplggd]
  • Did you know corporate logos have nicknames? For example, GE's logo is called the 'meatball.' [kottke.org]
  • Sure, Twitter's super hot right now with the technorati, but it's hardly the first status update system. Witness the Notificator (a robotic messenger system where you could notify friends of your whereabouts) debuted in London in 1935. [CJR]
