Mercedes Benz Tweet Race

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

I’m still looking for really good commercial Twitter campaigns. Starbucks and other brands have shown how you can integrate Twitter in your business model, but just a really good plain old campaign. This is from Mercedes and was developed by Razorfish. I think it is interesting. It is quite tech reliant and must have been very expensive to develop. But it is pretty nice. Enjoy.

Google Wallet is here… almost

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

So they announced it. They’re testing it in San Francisco. Basically it works with Near Field Communication (NFC). So you just… buy a coke, hold your phone over the sensor – and it withdraws the money from your Mastercard. Smart and easy. Can’t wait till it gets here. Read more on TechCrunch.

Clouds city – Google Chromebook

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Well every week and new online device. Google launched this some time back. It is basically a “dumb” terminal which is always meant to be online. Everything happens in the cloud – preferably Google’s cloud, docs, notebook, search, images, etc. I guess it is a return to mainframe philosophy. Everything is stored de-centrally. It makes perfect sense – no more need for back-up or virus protection. But you probably can’t run programs on this which demands a lot of processing power – like video or music rendition. I know people are working on this though, so I guess that is step two or three or four. Maybe then I’ll get rid of my MAC… not before though.

I do feel more than a little anxious giving all my data for Google to keep and analyze though. Google are really starting to remind me of Skynet from the Terminator movies. When Google becomes self aware – we are screwed.

Now as a proper rocker, I just don’t know what to think about this. It looks fun though…

Probably sounds better than when they play live with real instruments too.

The future in augmented hyper reality

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Two pretty cool…and very japonais versions of how AR may be used in the future. Reminds me of Ironman’s robot…in the films.
