ASUS Demos Laptop With Built-In Projector [Laptop Projectors]
via Gizmodo by John Herrman on June 04, 2008
Tucked away in a quiet corner at Computex, ASUS is showing a nondescript laptop with a built-in pico projector. Tiny projectors have made various appearances at the tech show so far, most recently from Foxconn, but no other company has incorporated them into existing products, or for that matter shown many compelling applications for them. ASUS has provided the first example of what could be a...

TuneCore Tells Us Where We Can Shove It
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on June 02, 2008
TuneCore, a startup that lets musicians break out of the label world and publish their music directly to online distribution channels like iTunes and Amazon, has been on a tear lately with some excellent and well deserved press coverage. I asked one of our interns, Peter, to email their PR group to get additional background information for CrunchBase and a potential story we’re working on that...

Insane Water Slide Drops You Straight Down Through a Trap Door, Flings You Through a Loop [Terror]
via Gizmodo by Adam Frucci on June 03, 2008
This German water slide is the definition of terror. Rather than starting out sitting down and sliding into the steep part, you start standing up on a trap door that they pull out from underneath you. It drops you straight down, you know, so you can gather enough speed for the complete loop that it throws you through. I don't understand German, so I'm not sure exactly what they're...

via commadot.com by Glen Lipka on June 03, 2008

Maybe I will just start with one.The first one is about information architecture. It explains how a user finds a needle in a haystack. I hope you find it useful. Please let me know.ShareThis

Why This 55 Year Old Lifelong Republican Wants Obama to Win
via Digg by (author unknown) on June 03, 2008
I'm a fifty-five year old white man who has been a conservative most of my life. I've been a Republican activist who campaigned for McCain in 2000. I'm a big fan of the military. My son served in the Marines. If Obama can reach me he can reach anyone. I'm a good example of why he'll win in November.

TBS, I Can Pause My Own TV, Thanks [Television]
via Gizmodo by Mark Wilson on June 03, 2008
TBS has opted to not only advertise during television shows through those pesky lower third banners, but to go so far as to pause the show you are watching to do it. A particularly offensive case of interstitial marketing, needless to say, it's not going to do wonders for the network's ratings. Oh, and for the TBS marketing gurus high-fiving right now and claiming that any press is good...

Visual Communication in Digital Design
via Slashdot by samzenpus on June 03, 2008
stoolpigeon writes "I remember the first time I saw a program I had written after the interface had been revamped by a designer. I had been pretty happy with what I had made. It worked very well and met the client's requirements. It was extremely functional and I thought it didn't look bad either. But when I saw the new interface, not functionally different, just so much better looking, I...
