Using the inbuilt compass in modern cellphones, and GPS, a new reality is born? (ehhh nope, discussions about what reality is and how we define this – is a subject I rather discuss over a bottle of wine). However, the cellphone as a tool combined with compass and GPS, will have a huge impact on how we search information in the near future. Watch the demo movie, and then you sort of realize that “business is local” easily transforms to “business is in your hand”. When will we see dating applications to find singels in your nearby location based on this technology? Who want to be a millionare?

At Apple’s recent WWDC developer conference, 20,000 of the most popular iPhone apps were showcased on a pulsating wall of 30 Cinema Displays. Whenever someone downloaded a particular app, its icon pulsed light outwards creating a mesmerising display.
20th anniversary of this fantastic recordlabel, and now a deluxe special-edition of music and art, titled Warp20 (Box Set) is soon to be released… Warp created the most fantastic soundscapes and imaginative worlds for me in my younger days. And now this amazing concept box with beautiful minimal design. Guess I will buy the t-shirt just as well… A product for lovers of digital life.

David Ogilvy wrote in his book “Ogilvy on advertising” a funny story about Account executives in the advertising industry:
On an airplane not long ago, Ogilvy overheard the following conversation:

Its not easy. We do a lot of research.
You do the research?
No, we have research people for that.
Do you bring in the new clients?
Thats not my job.
Forgive but what is your job?
Marketing.
You do the marketing for your clients?
No, they do it themselves.
Are you in management?
No but I soon will be.
Do you feel lucky? I feel lucky. And I am just waiting to experience the future releases of Ninja games with shurikens, nunchakus and tonfa’s based on this technology. Whip it!
Will it soon be possible to use 3D glasses connected to the iPhone? Apple has already patented iGlasses – a system using “a micro-electro-mechanical (MEM)/Laser display architecture.” By using a MEM laser display, Apple hopes to avoid problems with existing head-mounted displays, namely the sensation of looking into a box and motion sickness that may be caused by limiting peripheral vision. Well, from “touch and sweep” your finger interaction to iGlasses. I want to try it out now please…
Disney’s Pixar studio plans to release all of its movies in 3-D format, starting in 2009! Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter said he has been inspired by three-dimensional photography for decades. “I love 3D. I made a 3D computer-animated short in 1989 called ‘Nickname,’ and in fact my wedding pictures with my beautiful wife Nancy were made in 3D,” he said.

That wont be a little “Wii” - that will be a big ”WaoW”!!
