Companies Change, So Do their Logos
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on February 06, 2008
What does a logo say about a company? And what does it say when those logos change? A logo is more than just window dressing. It is a company’s identity boiled down to its bare essence, and is often the essential image consumers have in their mind when they think about a corporation. Products change, but logos endure.

The MacBook Air: Thin Enough To Slice A Cake
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on May 31, 2008
Rahul Sood, the CTO of HP’s gaming systems division (formerly VoodooPC), has found a new use for the MacBook Air: slicing cake. Handed a MacBook Air as a “present” at his birthday, he wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. So he tested its razor-thinness on the cake. “It’s so damn sharp, it did a fine job,” he reports. Probably not what the folks at Apple had in mind. PhoneTag...

The Cleverest Idea I've Seen In Years
via How to Change the World by GuyKawasaki on February 09, 2008
This is the cleverest idea I've seen in years (and Apple had nothing to do with it as far as I know): PlayPumps. Kids play and pump water for villages at the same time. Girls benefit in particular because they are usually the ones fetching water. How cool is that?!

Sigh.This is no way to build an operating system. Microsoft Watch opines, based on the D6 conference stage show:Windows 7 will ship in 2009, almost certainly in time for holiday PCs....
