MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Seven years in, the powerful incumbent is facing plunging poll ratings and even once-loyal followers are simply tuning out. Yes, "American Idol" is still in the most powerful position, but signs of malaise are nonetheless evident for that and many other top-rated shows.
(TrendHunter.com) Gizmodo is running a contest for the coolest looking desktop made entirely out of folders. They have received 14 entries so far and some of them are pretty impressive. Ren and Stimpy, Purple Tentacle, Iron Man, Daffy Duck and one of the character from South Park are among the themes submitted. The c…

According to the New York Times, there is only one company left that mass produces the Pinball machine. Stern Pinball In…
So Leo Burnett created a goofy in-house ad to announce its new dress code. It’s unclear whether or not it’s a joke since attempts at confirmation have…well, failed. The horror of it all is that creatives, usually exempt from…
The people at Greenpeace are none too pleased with Unilever, the makers of Dove beauty products. According to Greenpeace, Unilever is purchasing palm oil from suppliers who are destroying the rainforests in Indonesia. This deforestation is causing all sorts of problems such as climate change as well as the extinction of certain species. So, what is Greenpeace doing about it? Well, on April 21, 2008, they released a bunch of apes (or possibly Orangutans) into London and Merseyside to guilt Unilever into stopping this madness! They also came out with the following video to hopefully raise awareness. I guess the price you sometimes pay to be beautiful may not be worth it after all.

Duval Guillaume, to promote the Waffles & Dinges truck in New York city, painted grates yellow and placed little signs with promotional messaging atop the grates
Time magazine is covering the NBA’s playoffs campaign … literally, right down to the tagline, “There can only be one.†The newsweekly’s latest cover features a split-screen shot of Democratic presidential combatants Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, fusing them into a delegate-devouring, single-headed political creature that, to my cynical eye at least, looks a lot like John McCain. Time’s previous cover, advertising a story about the environment, courted controversy by substituting a tree for the flag in the famous 1945 photo of U.S. Marines raising the Stars and Stripes in Iwo Jima. The tree also looked like McCain. And isn’t “There can be only one†more grammatically correct? That’s how the Scots say it, anyway.

The Blue Brain Project aims to solve the epic problem of consciousness. But will it let us catch consciousness in the act?

I know this isn’t anything earth-shatteringly new, but this outdoor from London a pretty cool installation piece in my mind, particularly given the timeliness of Earth Day.
While real plants (instead of plastic) would have been awesome (and more “green”), the faux plants probably make it leagues easier to actually put up. Interesting, visual, and simple. Seems appropriate as we wrap up Earth-centric festivities.
