Supposed leak from WSJ about the Apple tablet

The WSJ does it again. Special coverage from Yukari Iwatani Kane and Ethan Smith about the supposed upcoming tablet from Apple. Since the WSJ is behind a pay wall (and it’s a really long piece) the essence of the story can be found in this post from Business Insider.
Some highlights:

Apple wants to "reshape businesses like textbooks, newspapers and television much the way his iPod revamped the music industry—and expand Apple’s influence and revenue as a content middleman.“

Apple wants to launch a web-based version of iTunes by June.  This would allow people to use the store without special iTunes software.  The service would also have distributed "Buy” buttons all over the web.

Tablet is designed to be shared.  May come with facial recognition camera.  Users may be able to leave virtual sticky notes for other users

“That’s Why I Chose Yale” video

We we should teach design early

“Design education typically begins at the college level, but if we wait until then to teach design thinking we are missing critical points in the growth of young minds, whose ability to think creatively is boundless. Teaching high school students to think like designers would help shape the way they look at the world around them and positively affect their future endeavors”

“Adapting” Avatar

Avatar just won Best Picture and Best Director yesterday at the Golden Globes. I don’t think this Indonesian “adaptation” by LunarFilm titled “Petualangan Bersama Suku Biru” (Adventure With the Blue Tribe) aired mere minutes ago on TPI can be described as anything complimentary.

There’s a handful of clips I’m thinking of sharing next time I’m in range of a decent Internet access.

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

Just what we need, a mark of sarcasm

“Anyone concerned that the irony of their email or text message might not be appreciated by its recipient can use the symbol to close their sentence, thereby avoiding awkward misunderstandings.” SarcMark – The Telegraph http://bit.ly/5ovJhG

Well that would certainly make everything clear now doesn’t it? I mean after all, being clear is what being sarcastic is all about.
