Falling under the question of when is enough enough, I ran across this video from Corning featuring a nightmarish world where every surface is some form of glass and carries data.

While GarageBand is not going to replace ProTools or Logic as industry standards in recording, it has found its home for EASILY
I just stumbled upon an article about a concept Toyota has been working on that they have coined the “Window to the World.” It’s basically an interactive window for the passengers in the back seat.

If you work in an ad agency or creative shop, chances are you spend a lot of time in front of a Macintosh. If you don’t, please take this opportunity to promptly destroy any other computer with a Louisville Slugger. Remember Office Space? You get the idea. Even the people at Microsoft make their ads
