Features for the software, which is due for a public unveiling on Tuesday, include Live Preflight, conditional text, SWF file export and other additional enhancements. InDesign CS4 will be shipped in November and should cost you a heaping $699 for the Design ...

One of the actual shooting guns is features on the cover to whet your appetite and the book itself even features a slide-action magazine-fed crossbow pistol. This book may be limited edition too.

We have already seen what people think some modern videogames might be like if produced on the original Gameboy but lets take yet another step further back in time to see what they would be like on the Atari 2600. There is some pretty good box art here even though they’ve taken some artistic license with the actual technical abilities of the Atari 2600 console. It’s a charming trend and maybe one which will continue.

Printing a Book, Old School from Armin Vit on Vimeo. When people ask if industrial designers "design machines", maybe this is what they mean. Spotted on MUG this morning, SpeakUp's post from last June features a wonderful video of the processes and machinery involved in bookbinding from 1947. Now THIS is a great design snack!...

This is what happens when you let an Australian-born media mogul buy an American newspaper and import his chief editor from Britain: Suddenly no one on staff can correctly identify the country to the north (for the record, it's "Canada" — just "Canada"). And to think we actually believed Robert Thomson would make the Wall Street Journal more globalist! [WSJ]

Jean Savoye, a reader here at Techdirt, sent in a submission using the provocative title that "Hugh Cornwell Is Still Not A Taxi Driver," and wrote about how former Stranglers' frontman, Hugh Cornwell, appeared to be embracing some of the concepts we talk about here as a business model. On his official website, he's offering up his latest album as a completely free download. However, he's pairing that with a much more complete business model. ...

I was delighted with the Image of the Day: If Kids Designed the Food Pyramid entry, and here is the Food Pyramid from Japan. This image is widely promoted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. It shows a spinning top to illustrate the nation's goal for "food balance" or a balanced diet. The Japanese guide resembles a spinning top, and note at the very top there is a guy running, as a reminder ...

Nokia's N810 Internet Tablet is a little bigger than the iPod Touch, but still pocketable—a characteristic that makes it perfect for use as a portable music-maker. Dubwise, a member of the Internet Tablet Talk forums, uses his to operate the virtual dials and knobs of a Yamaha digital mixer. "The resolution is perfect. All 20 faders fit onscreen, no scrolling. I’ve been mixing some simple shows from a seat in the audience. Even for the ...

Guitar Hero not only makes music more fun and sell better than CDs, it makes music sound better, too. "Death Magnetic," the first new album to get a simultaneous release on Guitar Hero III, has been giving fans a reprieve from the escalating loudness wars that plague modern music production.Compression, which is applied to make songs sound louder but robs them of dynamic range, is reportedly so extreme on the CD version of the new ...

For many years, we've covered case after case after case after case after case after case after case of people being blamed, arrested or even jailed for pointing out a security flaw. It should come as no surprise that many security researchers claim that it's just not worth it to research security vulnerabilities, since the risk is just too high. It doesn't seem like those on the other side are getting the message just yet. ...

On the Home Barista Forum, user Matadero210 is posting running progress reports from an heroic effort to machine and construct the perfect espresso machine: The design itself: take a Pavoni head, build an adaptor to connect to normal plumbing. Add a machined plate with water inlet (this is a plumb-in system), thermometer, and heater. Mount all in a brazed steel base. Robo-Pavoni ; learning to make espresso machine from scratch (via Make)
