Martin Agency President Mike Hughes Passes Away


At the beginning of this year, Mr. Hughes stepped away from his agency duties — his doctors had given him two weeks to live. But he “rejected that prognosis in favor of his own timetable,” said The Martin Agency Chairman John Adams in a statement. Indeed, Mr. Hughes remained full of life and vigor till the end, over the last 12 months posting his thoughts about life, death and everything else on not just one, but two blogs, Unfinished Thinking and Unfinished Thinking II. On the former, Mr. Hughes even made his final post –posthumuously, in an autobiographical obituary.

Over the last year, although Mr. Hughes was in hospice, agency staffers said that he remained committed to the job, stopping by or meeting with the team at his apartment behind the office and lobbying for awards and accolades for the shop.

Tudo o que a Apple copiou para criar o iPhone

Depois de mais de um ano desde o último episódio da ótima série “Everything is a Remix”, Kirby Ferguson retorna com um estudo sobre diversos elementos que influenciaram a criação do iPhone.

Algo revolucionário em 2007, mas construído baseado em diversos objetos do dia a dia, garantindo assim uma experiência familiar com o smartphone. Resumindo: A Apple “copiou” interfaces clássicas e tecnologias já existentes, e todos que a copiaram depois provavelmente nem se deram conta disso.

Não são afirmações novas, mas, como de costume, apresentadas de forma visual e esclarecedora por Ferguson. O vídeo não tem legendas, e exige um bom entendimento de inglês.
