Posted by: ltse, at 1:07 pm on June 3, 2010

Consumers are smarter than ever- in fact, most consumers today would agree that when they go shopping, they want to know more about the companies they are buying from. From food to clothes to cars, the ever-expanding socially responsible shoppers want to know if the companies they are buying from...

Magazine you can wear and play

Posted by: ltse, at 8:31 am on March 29, 2010

I stumbled upon this very innovative magazine that you can actually wear it.  Like the regular subscribed magazine, each “issue”, designed by T-Post will focus on one news issue. In this past issue, you can play rock, paper, scissors with the t-shirt through a webcam. Not only it take publishing...

Advertising democratized: Conrad Hilton x Mad Men vs. Hyatt x Funny or Die

Posted by: ltse, at 2:19 pm on March 22, 2010

As a loyal, devoted, and hardcore fan of Mad Men, I can’t help but compare Conrad Hilton in Mad Men to the Hyatt Hotel in 2010. I first made the comparison when I read the news that the Hyatt hired Funny or Die to produce a viral video for them. As a hotel client, it’s a smart and bold...

Search. Chat. Email. Facebook?

Posted by: Adam Rubin, at 9:00 am on February 9, 2010

So, Facebook is evolving. With emphasis on at least 3 core web services – search, chat and the upcoming email – Facebook is getting more serious about functions that Google, among others, are doing well at providing. It makes sense. So here are some quick thoughts on what 400 million users...

Old Media, Old Habits

Posted by: Richard Lee, at 7:00 am on December 14, 2009

Quick… our business model is broken… let’s go back to what’s worked before… a long time ago.

Media companies seem to be falling over themselves trying to prop up revenues in an ever-changing environment.  Yet, there seems to be very little innovation in how they’re going about it. For the last several weeks, much has been written about Rupert Murdoch’s plans to de-index from Google and...

Posted by: John Lally, at 10:46 am on November 5, 2009

10/GUI – Multitouch of the future

Posted by: Paul Morrison, at 6:34 am on October 13, 2009

Just watching this vid already, I’m ready to buy into this software. The system itself looks great, and I’d love to use it. How do you see the future of multitouch heading? Something more along these lines? I’ve personally found touch desktop all-in-ones to be somewhat pointless, and...

Google Street View: Initial Thoughts

Posted by: Adam Rubin, at 11:56 am on October 8, 2009

Don’t freak out, privacy doesn’t really exist anyways. When Google began its operations to archive and organize the web, it used the assumption that if you put something online, then you want it indexed. Opting out is your burden. This policy extends across most of its services; if there’s...

Posted by: Patrick Glinski, at 11:34 am on October 8, 2009

Ubiquitous computing technology may sound like science fiction, but it has already found a role in our lives.

Ubicomp, (or ubiquitous computing) is a term that describes how computing devices will become invisible to the user as they gradually find a use and a home in all objects. For anyone who works in the technology space, the idea of ubicomp is incredible, inevitable, and the next evolutionary step for society....
