apple/microsoft concepts

Adam Benton is an award wining illustrator living in the UK, and his work has been featured in a number of great art publications. Adam has made some of my favorite concept deigns, For example his design for the Zune 2 looks better then the Zune 2. He slimed down the Zune, and gave it a purl cove and a sleek look.

I recently ran into a concept he made of a Apple based camera called iEye, first of all great name, second that thing is beautiful. It has a iPone look all brushed aluminum with a chrome ring around the edge, and a awesome touch screen. this camera would allow you to edit photos and movies with a touch of a finger. At the high end of the price rang ($499) you would get 720p HD video, 5.1-megapixel stills, 12GB of flash memory, and a large-capacity lithium-ion battery hardwired inside, and optical zoom at 3x.

Ruff boy

Here is the latest model featured on Adam Bouska. He goes by Mike.s. and he has beautiful eyes, he kind reminds me of St-Pierre from the UFC.

Cloverfield

Cloverfield,

Do you guys remember when they played the teaser trailer for this movie, during the intermission for “The Transformers” movie? They gave no name just 01.18.08, the date of its release. And with the trailer came a cloud of questions, and before you new it, it was all over the news how this trailer of a doomsday like movie was overshadowing “The Transformers” release. I remember trying to find the Trailer on Youtube and only coming up with “This video has been removed”. After doing some more digging around on other video sites like Dailymotion and Veoh I finely found the teaser trailer, and was in ah of the way they decided to film the movie.

The thing is i always thought it would be cool to make a movie that would use a amateur style with wicked C.G and awesome special effects. And that exactly what the did, the film is made as though it was shoot throw a handheld camcorder, the sales for what ever camcorder they used, will most likely rise after this film is released. This looks like an awesome movie i hope it lives up to the hype!

All in one

Ok Dell’s XPS One is on sale for pre orders, and i am excited to see how it works, and what it looks like in person. The design is very iMac like, withe the shape on the computer matching a LCD monitor, the XPS One has built in speaker that are located on ether side of the A.I.O (All In One) unlike the imac’s hidden speakers which are found on the bottom of the computer. The main thing i wish the iMac had is a built in TV tuner like the new XPS One, the Adobe studio and Blu Ray Option would have been cool too.

In the PC world i this will definitely be the top A.I.O computer, but can it beat the iMac? The design is beautiful but it’s no iMac, i personally think the iMacs simple design beats out any other A.I.O any day of the week. And another thing you get better for your buck with a iMac, getting equally awesome features for less, so although this will be an awesome A.I.O the iMac is still the Mac daddy of A.I.O’s.

infatuation

Hay guys and gal’s, This post is going to be on one of my all time favorite bands “Maroon 5”. Ever since “Harder To Breath” i have been hooked on these guys, i mean i can  put their CD’s on repeat and listen to them all day. Their most recent album “it won’t be soon before long” is so,so, friken awesome, and The song “infatuation” (it’s a bonus track) is friken ridiculously awesome. I mean i can’t even say Maroon 5 without saying awesome. Well any way i recently ran into there new music video for the song “Won’t go home without you” my favorite part is when Adam’s running/walking through the city and he trips over a crazy mob of people and fans snapping pictures. And one more thing and now that i have seen Adam his Halloween costume i cant get the image out of my head, you have just got to love a straight man that can appreciate another mans beauty.

So Hot

I have two beautiful pieces for you, one a media platform from Logue Studios and the second a wall mounted desk from Mash Studios. OK will start with the media platform, The N02 is hand crafted and finished in the states, the base is made of strong cast aluminum, wile the platform is made of a solid bamboo material that comes in three finishes. This awesome media platform is simple solid and clean just like i love'um. The price ranges from $1099-$1946.

Now we move on to the lax wall mounted desk. Just like the N02 the lax.w.m.d is simple solid and clean. The desk is covered with a English walnut laminate and the sliding doors are powder coated aluminum. The size is great and it looks great with the wall mounted shelf which is sold separately. This simplistic desk will run you $675.

I just love these two piecies, and the desk would go great with my iMac!

Dreamy

Now we have all seen Eating out 2 Sloppy seconds, and the eye candy in the movie is Marco Dapper right? not really you may remember in the beginning of the film there was this dream like sequence in witch two hot guys make out. And one of those two guys is probably the hottest guy in the film, do you know who i am talking about? Yup, Andrew Ley, i was recently browsing Adam Bouska's gallery when i came across some photos he took of the beautiful Andrew Ley. Oh and he likes to watch romantic comedies!

The food chain

Style has caught up with technology, and personally I would have to put Apple as the front-runner in the style department. To be honest, for a long time I really didn’t like apple but lately I just cant get enough of them. And I just recently switched from a pc to Mac and I am so happy with the change, especially in the style department I got a 20” iMac, which is just beautiful. I also own an iPod classic, beautiful in it’s own right, it’s quit thin for a hard drive based mp3 player, but when I first got it was horrible. It wasn’t working right, it was freezing, it just pissed me off ever time I picked it up. But know with a couple software updates, its been working fine, freezing only once in awhile.

The iPods have been the raining kings of the mp3 player world sense there coming out, but as time goes on other mp3 manufactures are building equally awesome mp3 players. Like the Samsung yp-p2 and the new creative Zen are beautiful player and from what I here they run nicely too. Now they’re nice but not iPod killers, but now that the new Zune 2 is out the food chain maybe changing. The new Zune 2 is definitely more stylish then its older brother, thinner and sleeker, and the new interface is beautiful. But the thing that got me was the original customizable engraving art you can get free for a limited time. I mean it looks awesome and its something I wish apple did.

The only downside to the engraving is it’s permanent, once the art is engraved there is no going back, unless you find a cool skin maker for the new Zune, like GelaSkins.com. They also give you custom art for your mp3 player only you get color and the chance to change it when ever you want. Now they go for around $10-$15 bucks but I think its definitely worth it. On that note I think I will stick with my iPod, unless something hotter comes out, god I am shallow when it comes to tech. toys.
