This great article from Gizomdo discusses how Apples lead design guru Jonathan Ive’s design language and philosophy parallels the designs of Dieter Rams while he was at Braun in the 50’s and 60’s.
The year 2008 marks the 10th Anniversary of the iMac, the computer that changed everything at Apple, hailing a new design era spearheaded […]

The "study" upon which I am basing this post is by no means scientific. It's tiny in scale, was conducted exclusively by me, and leaves room for a variety of conclusions. Still, I think it's telling, and reveals a problem embedded in our several months-long crusade for media and marketing diversity. Therefore, it warrants discussion.
Instead of putting together a slick campaign about the Philippines’ wonder and majesty, the Philippine Department of Tourism has done something that we think is risky but probably worthwhile.
It invited HappySlip, a Filipino-American who built a YouTube following with her impersonations of family members, to visit the country on its tab.
(TrendHunter.com) I just ordered the new Macbook Air and was wondering how I will protect this little ultra mobile device. On coolhunting.com I found a neoprene sleeve, what seems to be the most suitable and stylish solution.
Currently only available for Macbook and Macbook Pro, I hope Côte et Ciel will be amongst…
We interrupt our super bowl gossip to show you a funny or die video which is – *gasp* – actually funny. Jerry O’Connell bravely parodies the recent scientology “pep-talk with Tom Cruise” video. Now Xenu and the thetans (which would be such an awesome band name btw) are going to have to kick his ass.
So when did it become a rule that it’s OK (or not R rated at least) to show a woman’s breasts as long as the nipple area is covered?
(TrendHunter.com) I’ve always loved the idea of renovating a church or warehouse as a living space. The people at Zecc just reinforced how cool it would be to take a structure that perhaps has outlived its usefulness and recasting its role as a home. This church space is an outstanding example of what can be done wit…

If you like cute, to the point, relatively engaging commercials that are (almost) single-focused, you’ll like this introductory commercial for the then all-new Toyota Yaris. And, as my mind wanders to ease the pain of filling my gas tank each week, I dream of driving a car that sucks less gas. And, then I think of this commercial and the Toyota Yaris.
Well, this :30 spot does just about everything I need it to do (except maybe a quick shot of its interior). It playfully, but powerfully, mocks the big, bad oil company’s grip on us by (literally) cutting the gas pumps down to size — and then trampling them before sucking the little bit of gasoline the small Yaris tank needs. The Yaris, spinning about on an all-white background and floor (to show off the vehicle) cruises off after the quick fill-up – and human-like belch – while having an impressive “40 MPG Rated” superimposed prominently.
When the Yaris circles back around it splits into two — to exhibit both the 4-door and 2-door coupe options – superimposing the attractive price of “starting at $12,405″. Enough said…40 MPG, for under $15,000, built with assumed Toyota’s high quality, and pretty good looking. I’ll take two!

DETROIT (AdAge.com) — General Motors Corp. had a solid year in 2007, with global sales up 1.9% from 2006. But it is now the world's second-largest automaker, according to Automotive News.
(TrendHunter.com) This beautiful concept watch from Gucci combines both contemporary style with Gucci’s classic elegance. It resembles a stylish bracelet yet the integration of basic technology in such a futuristic looking design is not only a juxtaposition but also a serious fashion statement.

Planning to go on Fox News and bash a video game you’ve never even seen? Then prepare to have your book torpedoed on Amazon.com. Psychologist Cooper Lawrence was a guest on a recent Fox News segment that denounced the “full digital nudity and sex†featured in Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. One problem: There isn’t any full digital nudity and sex in the game. Sure, there’s a bit of mildly salacious alien love (which, as you can see on YouTube, is about as hot as watching two mannequins being moved around a store window). Game publisher Electronic Arts has asked Fox News to “set the record straight,†but the more interesting reaction has been from the gamers themselves. Lawrence, who chuckled dismissively when asked on the program if she’d ever played the game, soon saw her book’s Amazon listing bombarded with more than 500 one-star reviews (which Amazon has since taken down) and several uploaded “customer images†(ditto). I’d be tempted to join in, but I’ll be tied up for a while watching all the other clips I found through my YouTube search for “graphic sex with an alien.†UPDATE: In a New York Times piece, Lawrence apologizes for misrepresenting the game: “I really regret saying that, and now that I’ve seen the game and seen the sex scenes, it’s kind of a joke.â€
