DESIGNLLECT: H.R. Giger BarMuseum

Seems like Predator won. And he built a room out of his victims' bodyparts.
We don't usually publish interior design items, but who can't spot the reincarnation of H.R. Giger's work into..a bar/museum!
Worth going if around..

Could not help mention the great imagery from the master Jerry Uelsmann.

TECHLLECT: why ipad is lame (part 2)

I don't understand why people don't like the design of IPAD. They even thought of leaving all this post-it friendly space around the screen! Watching movies and getting reminders! Now, that's true multitasking!

TECHLLECT: why ipad is lame (part 1)

The good people at iFixit hired Chipworks to grind, sand, photograph and x-ray, I-Pad's main processor. The most interesting findings:
- It is an ARM Cortex A8 and not the multicore A9
- Software benchmarks indicate that the A4 has the same PowerVR SGX 535 GPU as the iPhone 3GS, but verifying this via hardware analysis is quite difficult. If this is true, and it likely is, graphics performance on the iPad is fairly poor relative to the screen size.
-  There's nothing revolutionary here. In fact, the A4 is quite similar to the Samsung processor Apple uses in the iPhone. 




That's an oversized step... to nowhere.  All the findings and more pics after the break.
