Erik Nordenankar
Erik Nordenankar, a student at Beckmans (a design school in Sweden) had drawn his own portrait using a GPS unit he placed in a briefcase and then sent it around the world to specific locations. The self portrait becomes apparent when you follow the journey of the briefcase.

Suissa Computers
I start seeing more and more beautiful home-made computers. Maybe this trend is something for the giant computer manufacturers to consider? A computer doesn't have to be an ugly plastic box. (although I'm very happy with the look of my mac)
Suissa Computers has started manufacturing beautiful computer systems. The one pictured above is just one of many models they offer.

Jack PC
The future of computing?
The picture above is of an actual computer that will be released June 15th, 2008.
It fits in the wall socket, has limited capacity, but more than enough to surf the web. Hopefully we will see more development of this idea. Remote harddrives for example?

Даже если пролетариат возьмет власть в свои руки, весна все равно достанется нам, а цели войны останутся целями войны
