Intel Leaps Ahead

And falls 5 years behind. Another crappy rebrand. I mean, really, another orbit swoosh logo? Gag me. Link.

Open Alexa

The index, the crawler, the processing power, whatever you want, it’s available via Amazon’s web services platform for a buck per CPU hour used/a buck per gig of storage/a buck per 50 gigs of data processed/a buck per gig of data uploaded for hosting. Very interesting. Link.

35mm Lego Camera

From the people who brought you the medium format pinhole Lego camera. Link.

Colored Bubbles

Oh. My. God. This is fantastic- vivid dyes that disappear when exposed to water, air or pressure, due to something called lactone rings. Better living through chemistry, indeed! Link.

FAA Flight Patterns

Accidentally beautiful video and still images. Link.

Siemens Announces ePaper

£30 per square meter? If that’s true, things are about to get really interesting in design. The revolution may very well be televised after all! Link.

Paul Rand’s Final Logo

I’ve never heard of “SERVADOR,” either. Link.
