Chris Jordan is a Seattle-based photographic artist known for his large-scale images of American mass consumption. “Running The Numbers” looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. Jordan’s hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the ...

They don't call it a global credit crunch for nothing. Nokia, the world's biggest phone manufacturer is pulling out of Japan, the world's most phone crazed nation. In a statement today, Executive Vice President, Timo Ihamuotila said: "In the current global economic climate, we have concluded that the continuation of our investment in Japan-specific product variants is no longer sustainable." With the likes of Sharp, Casio, Fujitsu and Panasonic dominating the best sellers list in ...

From the mid-1960s on, football grew massively as a passive spectator sport. The realisation that football could evolve as a spectator sport for people that weren’t even at the match was a revolution in terms of the perception of the game. By 1983, moves for live televising of league football for the first time were already well in motion. By the end of 1983, the first Football League match to be shown on live television ...

The Drop Lights created by designer Doosan Baek contain new advance LEDs which prevent the lights from excessive heating. It is a unique lighting system that provides a new user interface for indoor lighting. Each lighting module can be separated from the main body to use as a free standing lamp. An electric line, located within the main body, charges the ‘drops’ via a network of tracks. Link Via [Yanko design] ShareThis

Kingston, the renowned memory maker have just pushed their DataTraveler line a bit further and released the Kingston DataTraveler 150 USB 64GB. Why bother with a portable hard drive when you could just drop this in your pocket, bag or even attach it to your keys? The only downside I can see is that you’re probably more likely to leave all your saved stuff on the pub table or lose it down the back of ...

According to the forum denizens of TmoNews, new recipients of the T-Mobile G1 are opening their boxes to find a 3.5mm headphone adapter. The lack of a 3.5mm jack socket on the G1 was seen as an odd omission, a fact note in our G1 first impressions video. Instead, the G1 has only a mini-USB socket, tying the owner to the supplied headset. But if the posters over at TmoNews are to be believed, then ...

Looking for a virtually indestructible acoustic guitar? Blackbird’s Rider Nylon guitar is really made of carbon fiber; it’s the strings that are nylon - don’t ask me why it’s not named the Rider CF! Blackbird says that the Rider is “nearly indestructible” so that should make it pretty much the perfect travel guitar. The unusual material has meant altering the style from a more traditional shape. As you can see: it’s far squarer, and the ...

Word over at TechCrunch is that Apple may be working on a search engine of its own. This isn’t wholly unreasonable when you see that its Safari web browser has 6-7% market share but uses Google as the search engine for both the computer and iPhone/iPod versions. And they can’t be overly happy with Google’s competition to the iPhone - The Android powered G1. The perplexing thing is that none of the big hitters have ...

It looks like the most computer-literate US President of recent times will have his electronic activities curtailed a little once he enters the Whitehouse. The New York Times is reporting that there are a number of laws that will prevent Barack Obama using, among other things, his much-loved BlackBerry, once he’s inaugurated in January 2009.

Google will soon update its iPhone tool, Google Mobile App, to include the ability to perform searches using speech recognition. In other words, iPhone users will no longer need to tap at the handset’s on-screen keyboard in order to execute Google searches: just launch Google Mobile App, speak into the microphone and a recording of your voice will be sent to Google’s servers and translated into a search query. Well, that’s the theory, at least. ...
