Samsung Galaxy Nexus now available at Vodafone UK, Verizon's version rumored to launch on December 11

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now available at Vodafone in the UK. Initially, it was only to be found at O2 and Phones 4U. So if you wanted to get one straight from Big Red, now's your chance. The superphone is being offered for free on plans which cost £41 per month or more. For that minimum amount you'll be getting 1,200 minutes, unlimited texts, and 750 MB of data each month. The cheapest plan with which you can get the Galaxy Nexus is £26 per month, and it gives you 100 minutes, 500 texts, and 250 MB of data, but choosing this plan requires you to pay £299 for the phone outright.

Bridgestone Airless Tire Resembles Psychedelic Spirograph Sketch

Goodbye pump: Bridgestone's airless tire concept cannot be punctured. Changing a tire at the side of the road is no big deal (you know that the tire-iron is for removing the wheel-nuts and not just for self defense, right?), but suffering a blowout on the freeway isn't any fun at all. Bridgestone's new airless tires fix both problems.
The concept design uses thermoplastic “spokes” which radiate tangentially out from the hub and curve before joining the rim. The ribs run in different directions on either side of the wheel so no rotation or twisting of the tread occurs.
