‘Defying Gravity’ Grounded


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — The conditions seemed perfect for liftoff: Fresh off the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, an intense, if infrequent, assessment of the space race coincided with a space-shuttle mission. And the passing of NASA chronicler (and, at times, cheerleader) Walter Cronkite on the eve of the anniversary, though tragic, led to even more media coverage. But ABC's launch of astronaut drama "Defying Gravity" couldn't do that with summer ratings.

Fiat Mio | O primeiro carro “open source”

fiatmio2.jpg

Foi anunciado pela Fiat que o seu novo carro conceito será concebido com a colaboração dos consumidores. Qualquer um  poderá ajudar na concepção do novo protótipo que será apresentado em outubro de 2010, no Salão do Automóvel de São Paulo.

É mais uma tentativa inovadora de conseguir chegar mais rapidamente ao universo digital, após divulgar, em junho deste ano, a parceria com o Google Street View, aqui.

O novo projeto, idealizado pela Agência Click, recebeu o nome de Fiat Mio, e é pioneiro no mercado automotivo, quebrando o paradigma que geralmente cerca as montadoras que mantém o processo de desenvolvimento de um carro em sigilo total.

As sugestões de design, segurança e features serão aceitas no sites http://fiatmio.cc e consideradas pela empresa.

Você pode rotular como quiser: “Open Source“, “Creative Commons” ou até “Crowdsoursing“. O que importa é que isso vai fazer uma grande revolução na indústria.
