M&C Saatchi launches Like4Lives

Could sharing a photo save the koalas? M&C Saatchi decided to find out. The fact is, koalas are endangered. They get way more likes on social media than donations. But that’s going to change thanks to The Australian Koala Foundation’s new social media initiative, Like for Lives, urges people to post a picture of a koala on Instagram or Facebook together with the promise: For every like this picture gets, I will donate 50 cents to savethekoala.com

“A dating club is wrong, but a shaving club is awesome.” Barberclub sounds like Dollar Shave Club but probably more expensive since it’s Canada.

I’m totally loving fluid, surreal the vibe of this video for Jewels, the new track by Montreal-singer Black Atlass. It’s got some smokiness, some CGI goodness and more.

Braincast 133 – O Café e a Criatividade

BRAINCAST

Mais importante do que te manter acordado, o café teve um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento do mundo moderno. Seu significado cultural e o impacto no dia a dia das pessoas é enorme, desde que foi descoberto na Etiópia no século IX.

No Braincast 133, discutimos sobre a influência da cafeína na criatividade, na clareza de pensamento e sua atuação no nosso cérebro. É verdade ou falácia dizer que o café foi a bebida do Iluminismo? A cafeína ajuda ou atrapalha a nossa produtividade?

Carlos Merigo, Alexandre Maron, Saulo Mileti, Guga Mafra e Will Prestes conversam ainda sobre a cultura dos cafés especiais, as diferenças entre os variados tipos e os principais modos de preparo.

Nosso curso de Design voltou! E ainda mais: chegou o Módulo 2, de Estética.

Apresentado para mais de 600 alunos, o curso de Design visita a história dessa ciência e abre discussão para uma real compreensão sobre cores, uso de tipografia, construções baseadas no sistema áureo, suas modulações, metodologias de trabalho e muito mais.

How Much Should Apple Sweat About Xiaomi's Flagship Smartphone?


Xiaomi, the Chinese startup-turned-giant that’s now the world’s No. 3 smartphone maker, boasts on its homepage that its flagship Mi4 phone has the “best and strongest configuration in the world.” If you compare its specs to those of the iPhone 6, it looks like Xiaomi’s phone beats Apple on screen and camera resolution, battery life, processing speed and more. (Not to mention price the Mi4 sells for $327 in China, less than 40% of the cost of the most basic iPhone 6 here.)

But how does the Mi4 actually measure up in performance trials? After testing, a product watchdog says the Mi4 is a compelling offer and that Apple shouldn’t be complacent. But despite those stellar specs, Xiaomi’s top phone still can’t match the iPhone 6 on most measures of performance, though it is more scratch-resistant and has longer battery life.

“People swap spec sheets and that’s how they’re marketing it but specs alone do not equate to performance, and consumers need to know that,” said James Feldkamp, co-founder of MingJian, an independent China-based product-testing watchdog that represents China in the International Consumer Research & Testing consortium, or the ICRT. (Consumer Reports is the U.S. member.)
