Very excited to see the Windows 8 UI. It’s using a Metro-inspired look and feel which is long overdue and will definitely change how we use PC’s.

A very thorough dissection of the Windows 8 UI exists here.

This scenario lives in the mind of Walewijn den Boer, graduated from KABK in 2010.

During the exhibition, visitors were able to feed a colony of microscopical pop-up creatures, save Chinese websites from a pageview-shortage, preserve an Amazone tribe from extinction by subscribing to its homepage and view a short documentary on how the living internet established itself

Anything Hollywood does, Bollywood ‘adapts’ and does even better!

We still don’t know much about the film, except that SRK’s character is called G.One, and he’s some sort of superhero — and above is our first look at him.

A bit of backstory: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) was set to star inEnthiran, the killer-robot movie from director S. Shankar, but left that project over creative differences. But then Enthiran turned out to be a megahit — and there was a lot of talk that the story and action set-pieces in Ra.One were way too similar toEnthiran. So Ra.One has had to be retooled to make it different, and more time is being spent in post-production beefing up the effects, delaying the release from the first half of 2011 to around October.

cool is what stands up – what makes you take a notice and appreciate something beyond the norm. When you see a product or a design or creation and your mind just screams at the want of it – or the appreciation to understand it more fully – that is cool.
