Wired demonstra sua versão digital para iPad

Wired iPad

Depois do NY Times, a revista Wired é a segunda publicação a se adaptar ao iPad da Apple, que ainda nem foi lançado.

É aquela história de, finalmente, aliar conteúdo interativo e digital sem perder o design gráfico do papel. Em se tratando de Wired, isso é fundamental. Não só o conteúdo editorial, mas também a publicidade se beneficiará da digitalização.

Em dezembro passado, a Times Inc. imaginou a revista do futuro, só que não imaginaram que ela chegaria tão cedo, e ainda com uma tecnologia simples: a versão digital da Wired foi feita em Adobe Air.

No vídeo abaixo, Jeremy Clark da Adobe e Scott Dadich, diretor criativo da revista, mostram o aplicativo em funcionamento. Não é um conceito e nem uma mera demonstração, é a ferramenta em sua forma final, e que estará disponível para ao público.

Ken Wheaton: A Hero to the Swedes?


So apparently there are a number of Swedes in Sweden who aren't coughing up their money for broadcast fees. C'mon guys. How do you expect your Nanny State to function if you aren't paying your share? After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch — or a free TV show (unless you're willing to sit through a raft of ads).

Samsung Shakedown

Como sempre, os suecos, ou melhor, os escandinavos em geral, dão um show em ações de marcas na internet.

Dessa vez, a agência Stockholm With Love colocou no ar um projetinho simpático e interativo especialmente para reforçar o potencial do novo Samsung B2100, o telefone celular mais resistente debaixo d’água, segundo eles.

Vários modelos desse telefone foram colocados sobre uma mesa de vidro levemente inclinada. Quem visitar o site terá um número disponível para ligar e esperar até que um dos telefones vibre e comece a cair lentamente. É só torcer para que ele caia dentro de um aquário com água, e não no chão.

Infelizmente a interação só é possível na Suécia, mas podemos ser “voyeurs” e acompanhar através do site: www.samsungshakedown.com. Achei divertido!

Puma quer premiar melhor praticante de spinning

pumaspinstar.jpg

Você sabia que uma linha de bicicletas também faz parte do portfólio da Puma?

Bom, eu não sabia até descobrir esse concurso itinerante realizado pela marca na Austrália, chamado SpinStar.

Os participantes competem para ver quem aguenta mais tempo praticando spinning (sem parar). Aqueles que conseguirem alcançar recordes de tempo, ganham vários prêmios, entre eles uma bicicleta da Puma.

Tendo a Puma como pano de fundo, o concurso foi montado em uma moderna estrutura, que chama a atenção até mesmo de turistas que visitam a região onde é realizado o Spinstar.

A idéia foi encabeçada pela Access, agência da mesma equipe que controla o ótimo The Cool Hunter.
