A Flickr set with famous floating heads and quote bubbles – what’s not to love? (thx David Kaneda)
These are great quotes, and I love the floating head design.
I’m definitely crushing on this tablet. Possibly because it’s running a full version of Windows 7, but also because this thing could be an amazing media streamer since it can get content from Netflix streaming and Hulu.

This video made me laugh at the way our economy works, and the way we consume.
But this video also made me sad that we are so quick to use and discard, that we are destroying the planet, and that our government is not just letting this happen, it’s encouraging it and backing the corporations the whole way.

Keep my rights and live in fear of terrorists, or lose my rights and live in fear of the government. I already fear both, so I think I’ll take my rights back, please.

Just amazing.Corona up to 6 solar radii
80 images were taken during 5 m 41 s long totality by means of a Canon EOS 5D digital camera equipped with my old well-tried Russian Maksutov-Cassegrain 6.3/500 mm. Unfortunately the absolutely clear weather several minutes before the totality was interrupted by a small cumulus cloud and a part of the total eclipse was lost. After careful inspection of all eclipse images, 38 images which were not influenced by clouds were chosen. These images were calibrated by means of about 300 dark frames and about 100 flat-field images. The resulting image is finally over my expectation and the influence of clouds nearly negligible. The position of the Moon represents the situation 136 seconds after the second contact i. e. 03:30:55 UT (15:30:55 local time). The display of the solar corona, lunar surface and stars in the resulting image are highly beyond the ability of human vision during the eclipse. The weakest stars visible in the image are of about magnitude 10. The stars are a little bit blurred by the motion of the Sun during the very long eclipse.

While I am quite partial to my Ingenuitea, this is pretty clever.
This is exactly what I was waiting for when Apple introduced the MacBook Air two years ago, because that week, I saw this patent, and I started dreaming.
If Apple is making a tablet I could totally see it being the next version of the iMac with the stand detaching and the body a heck of a lot thinner. That would be awesome, and my next computer.
Alright, I need this book!Less and More: The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams, edited by Klaus Kemp and published by Gestalten, presents the career of the peerless industrial designer from concept to final product, with commentary placing the work in context. Available from Vitsoe and Amazon. (via Alex Cornell)

Oh, yeah! I loved this screensaver.I know screensavers may be a thing of the past, especially since most computers go into some sort of sleep mode. But I had to add this Fliqlo screensaver to my computer anyway. The flip clock design is clean, simple, retro and even a bit elegant. I just love it! You can get it here.
yeah, i loved this screen saver, but when i updated to Snow it was gone! finally its back!!
