The Exciting 25 Years Evolution Of The Mac Platform!

Started in 1984, year 2008 mark the 24th year evolution of Mac system and platform. From popularizing the mouse concept (click and drag) to introducing the groundbreaking touch interface; from introducing the classic Mac, to 'simultaneously' bringing the brand new iMac, iPod and iPhone interface to the market, Mac's system and platform transformation filled with exciting series of: (1) daring innovation, (2) inspiring leadership, (3) iconic branding.

At each stage, the Mac evolution also mark a significant transformation milestone, of how: (1) our live and work increasingly being computerized and digitized through computers that is meticulously designed to be not only beautiful, but also 'human friendly', (2) how human interaction with computers being redesigned in tremendous detail for extreme simplicity and practicality, and (3) how our lives increasingly made more connected, integrated, automated and mobile -- with (and through) the internet.

It would be so much exciting to see how all these great platform of innovation would evolve further in 2009, forming the 25th year evolution of the innovative, exciting, and great Mac platform.

Is This How The New Upcoming Sony 'P' Series Would Look Like ??

Is this how the Sony 'P' Series would look like? It kind of remind me of my old beautiful Sony VAIO Picture Book in the past (see 2nd picture).

If such is the case, then I guess we might soon enter the era of 'p' notebooks; pocketable notebooks, or pocketable net-books to be more precise.

It would be exciting to see Sony find its mojo back.

ps: Compare the size of the notebook with the size of the envelope. It's almost equal! If Sony can make it super small (like its Picture Book in the past) and super thin as well, then it would be truly awesome! It would become the most portable NetPC ever, perhaps, just like VAIO Picture book was, 6-8 years ago, in the past.

Plurk User Interface Is Fun, But It's Real Usefulness & Function Is Too Easily Forgotten ... Why Ya?

See and download the full gallery on posterous

Plurk is still a 'mystery' to me. While I do work, think and interact on the internet daily; seems plurk never been in my 'activity' picture anyday. It's purpose and cute function seems just easily (and too quickly) being forgotten.
 
Perhaps I shall try to integrate Plurk to Posterous, and see how the 'cute historical activity timeline map' that Plurk provide could/would become useful, or powerful?
 
Perhaps Plurk shall integrate with other sites that people update daily?
 
Suggestions welcomed.

The Great, Famous, Legendary 'Got Milk?' Campaign Ad!

Among many campaigns that has been running for several years (and has been spread out across generations), the great 'Got Milk?' campaign is one that I really adore.

The choice of font used, the iconic 'mustache', the photo ambiance; the entire layout's position and texture, the elegant wordings, the chic/aesthetic design of the entire 'system' makes the entire campaign message's interesting, fascinating, eye catching, great, clear and awesome to watch.

This campaign ad is probably one of the best series of campaign ad ever created, after the excellent VW Beetle campaign ad (by Bernbach) and Apple/Mac Think Different campaign ad, in the past.

Here's a glance preview of how the "Got Milk' campaign ad feels, and looks like:

Every Office System & Wordprocessor/Spreadsheet System Might Soon Have These Capabilities In The (Very) Near Future ...

Office System is facing one of the greatest transformation ever. No longer it will be just about bold, italic and numbers, eventually it will start incorporating true collaborative feature, which essentially connects these front-end system that we all already understand, with the new way of working that would enable people not only to create and compose document and store it on their computer, but a new way of working that would also allow us all to share, collaborate and work together on those document, building a completely new way of how people communicate, work together, collaborate and interact, around the globe.
 
Contributing to such to happen, as well as seeing it truly happening, is (and would) always be a truly awesome endeavor to pursue.
