A crazy HTML5 interactive music video powered by Google. I’d expect it’s also best viewed with Google Chrome.
Oh. Shit. This is so fuckin’ weird and awesome.
Rick Astley asked me if he could borrow my collection of Pixar films...
“Okay,” I said. “You can have Toy Story, Cars and Finding Nemo but I’m never gonna give you Up.
highlight of the day so far
Picking up my brother from Hyde with Ryo and Jessica. Windows all down. In a Prius. BLASTING KOKOMO BY THE BEACH BOYS. F YEAH.
Apple's Attention to Detail →

The average respiratory rate for adults is 12-20 breathes per minute, which is the rate that the sleep-indicator light fades in and out on most Apple laptops. Older models such as the Macintosh PowerBook, however, use a blinking LED indicator, with discrete pulses in one-second intervals.
The other day, I noticed that my friend’s Dell laptop had a similar feature but with a shorter fade-in-fade-out period. Its rate was around 40 blinks per second, or the average respiratory rate for adults during strenuous exercise—not very indicative of something in sleep-mode.
It’s interesting how a lot of companies try to copy Apple but never seem to get it right. This is yet another example of Apple’s obsessive attention to detail.
Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to stare at the gentle, soothing light on my Macbook Pro.
