Wallpapered Dumpsters

0 Comments 14 January 2010

There’s nothing unsightlier than a graffiti emblazoned dumpster, filled to the brim with all manner of trash–a common sight in cities across a world which produces so much of the stuff. The griminess of the dumpster, for some, is such that it immediately endows whatever objects may be placed inside it with the same unappealing, valueless quality–a fallacy recently highlighted with the discovery of how some retailers dispose of their unsold products. One artist is hoping to change this perception of dumpsters by beautifying them with wallpaper, to surprising effect. Perhaps by recasting these urban-eyesores as objects of, dare I say, inspiration, our attitudes towards what fills them will change as well. – from TreeHugger

Microsoft's Steve Ballmer Jealous of Apple's iPad

Because we all watched how the iPod was crushed by the Zune, and the iPhone was obliterated by the updated WinMob. Oh, er, wait.

Ballmer, young people don’t LIKE your BRAND, and nothing is going to change that.
Your day in the sunny is now overcast, and I see storm clouds rolling in.

I love Apple. Their products are amazing. From their desktops, to their Macbooks, the iPad, iPod and and the amazing iPhone 4 they deserve all of their success. I am a proud iPad owner and a Macbook Pro owner and planning on getting the iPhone 4 within a month or so. I have never been disappointed with any of their products. I never came across the problem like other ppl say, and watching movies on the go with ifunia converter to iPad is really fun :)
