Is Apple prepping a 3D shopping interface? A Second Life resident thinks it might (via Brand Flakes) if the new patent is any indication. The patent was filed in September 2006 and published a couple of weeks ago. (Follow a lengthier discussion.)
There have been a couple of fan-made Apple stores in Second Life before: see this set of Flickr pictures of one such store and a video of another one below.
This is me in a bootleg Apple store in Second Life in early 2006. The store was selling iPod and iPod shuffle replicas but was eventually shut down. There, you could also pick-up a black outfit and a green “cardboard” background and walk around looking like an iPod commercial.
(TrendHunter.com) How ingenious is this year’s “Time 100” cover? Rather than use the face of the #1 position as usual, the cover depicts one face constructed from thin horizontal image strips of each of the 100 most influential people profiled inside the issue.

(TrendHunter.com) While being “inspired by” and “paying homage” to the work of another artist is one thing, blatantly copying someone’s work without crediting them is another story. The fact that it’s a big player like Fox channel who is ripping the work of a student makes it much worse.
The new “Terminator – Sara…

Wait. Huh? OK, not that we didn’t know this deal would never happen but, please, can we just be done with it?

Some people say it’s all about the packaging and presentation. Sometimes it’s true. To promote their causes, the Surfrider Foundation & Saatchi LA gathered trash at local beaches, packaged it, labeled it, and placed it at local farmers markets. A fairly powerful message from a simple juxtaposition. Sure, the concept isn’t exactly brand spankin’ new, but it’s done effectively, reaching a different (and untapped) demographic, raising interest, and sparking discussion.
Creativity Online has a really nice video showing the process and the market booths along with peoples reactions.

Microsoft badly wants a piece of the online services and advertising action, estimated to be worth $80 billion a year by 2010. But not bad enough to pay $35 a share for Yahoo.
Microsoft’s bid to acquire Yahoo ended yesterday at 4:00 p.m. in a letter from Steve Balmer to Jerry Yang.
“I still believe, even today, that our offer remains the only alternative put forward that provides your stockholders full and fair value for their shares. By failing to reach an agreement with us, you and your stockholders have left significant value on the table. But clearly a deal is not to be.”
My translation: What, our money isn’t good enough? Up yours, Yang.
“This process has underscored our unique and valuable strategic position,” Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said.
“Yahoo is not a strategy; it’s a part of a strategy,” Ballmer told employees on Thursday.
