ipod kopfhörer als lautsprecher
"Sometimes bigger IS really better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical Way Big machine, and created 500XL - it’s 500 times the size of the original! How great will these look on your desktop alongside your mp3 player or PC? 500XL includes a built-in amp and 3-way power - it runs on batteries; you can connect it to your PC’s USB port with the supplied cord; or plug it into the wall with a generic power supply (not included). The stand-up, peggable clamshell packaging really makes a statement."
oled, lcd, plasma - der große display vergleich
31/01/2008 | tech
"Das Sound and Vision Magazin haben eine interessante Gegenüberstellung der Stärken und Schwächen von OLED-, LCD- und Plasmabildschirmen gemacht und auch ganz genau die dahinter stehenden Techniken erklärt. Die OLED Technologie zeichnet sich vor allem durch die Stärken im Kontrast aus. Keine Hintergrundbeleuchtung ist notwendig, die Bildschirme sind superdünn und sie haben einen großen Betrachtungswinkel. Leider sind sie noch nicht besonders groß und im Vergleich dazu relativ teuer."

"When my daughter Alison was born, in the tradition of a new parent, I began to photograph her, initially in a separate and private body of work. However, in the process of documenting Alison's growth, I developed a passionate interest in human relationships and capturing intimate moments in the lives of family and friends."

Product: adidas running apparel
Agency: TBWA\\Whybin Auckland
"The 2007 adidas Auckland Marathon had 11,000 runners determined to reach their impossible. With the finish line 42 kilometres away, they needed more motivation. At the 17 km mark, they got 50 knots of it from a custom built, hurricane fan created by TBWA Whybin Auckland. Exhausted runners opted in to the adiBOOST lane and were pushed from behind by a massive blast of air. Giving them a much-needed second wind to power them through to the finish line."

neujahrs feuerwerk in oslo - norwegen
03/01/2008 | events | photography
"This is a picture of the sky above Oslo, Norway, exploding, two minutes after midnight on January 1, 2008. A comment by Bjørn Christian Tørrissen: In Norway there's no tradition for fireworks arranged by the city. It's too cold in January to gather downtown for the celebrations, so everyone just go out into their gardens or a nearby open spot, launch their rockets and then head back inside. The result is a view like this, with fireworks shooting up from absolutely everywhere at midnight on January 1."
the lonely prada marfa store
03/01/2008 | advertising | design
"A surreal installation of real Prada store in the middle of the desert outside of the town Valentine in West Texas near Marfa, USA. From the artists:"
"...the combination of a vast, open desert landscape in an un-populated area and a luxury goods store is completely unthinkable. Nature suits fashion as a visual backdrop, as one often sees in advertisement. the minimal, corporate prada design and the desolate surrounding ranch land make a great impression together, but simultaneously the two forces also render each other useless."
