PLEIX
If you like cool videos then you have to take a look at the website of the french artist collective PLEIX! They are best known for the "PLAID - itsu" music video but their other works are also amazing.
Sadly they haven't updated their site for a while...
If you like to know more about them there is an interesting interview over at Pixelsurgeon...
Cellphone Keyboard Concept
Tom's Hardware Guide is running an interesting article about a new keyboard concept for cellphones developed by the american Chicago Logic.

Kunzhaus Graz - BIX Facade
The Kunsthaus Graz not only has a very well design website but houses in one of the most innovative modern buildings. Actually it seems like an alien vessel landed between the houses of Graz...
