What comes to mind when one talks about disappearing text messaging? You know, the "now you see it, now
you don’t" type of communique that might have saved the career of one
"what was he thinking" politician with the unfortunate name of Weiner.
OK, so a $3.2 billion acquisition is nothing to sneeze at! However, when your current stock price on the Nasdaq exchange is trading at $1148 per share, and your coffers are overflowing in excess of $57 billion in cash and marketable securities – $3.2 is more or less chump change. . .
Frito-Lay Japan has got THE snack for hungry gunslingers to nom on while trekking across the Waste Lands to the Dark Tower: Shrimp Mayonnaise Doritos! Sure the name’s kinda dull but they’re the closest thing to “Lobstrosity Doritos” you’re gonna get.
What would you do if you came upon an abandoned stroller with a crying baby inside? You’d probably check to see if the infant was ok, right? Not after watching this prank you won’t. The same team responsible for that wonderful telekinetic coffee shop freak out prank

In the foreseeable future, search on smartphones will allow for
intuitive logic not just text-matching based on keywords. But what will
our smartphones offer in the Web 3.0 world of Semantic Technology,
Augmented Reality and the Internet of Things?
Usually one learns of a new innovation, invention, social media breakthroughs from techie news sites like Spot, AllThingsDigital. Mashable, and
others. Word traveling fast in real-time is then amplified by all the
major social networks (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, for starters) and
if it’s really ‘disruptive’ it will begin to blanket our zeitgeist.
This is then followed by the business trades and legacy publishers
elaborating on the shiny new thing’s various iterations over time.
The New York Times Magazine is popular for its visually appealing covers and design, so if you happen to follow it religiously, you might notice a slight change come 2014. The man behind all that, Arem Duplessis, has confirmed that he is leaving the magazine behind and joining Apple as creative director in February 2014. He will be working with the internal marketing team after spending nearly ten years at The New York Times Magazine. Duplessis says that its time for a new chapter and a new challenge, which is why he has moved on to Apple.
Recent reports suggest that Apple is interested in expanding the internal marketing department’s size by up to twice and that it is actively looking to hire renowned designers and marketing professionals to take top roles. The department is said to be involved in Apple’s website design, development of ad spots for the company’s iAd platform and more. Rumor has it that Apple wants the department to play a bigger role in its branding efforts, which will certainly reduce the amount of work that Apple has to enlist external agencies for. Duplessis design knowledge and experience will certainly be a welcome addition to the team as it looks to broaden its horizons. [Image via Cover Junkie]

While the blogosphere spawned thousands upon thousands of writers who in
many instances lacked the opportunity to write for legacy publishers,
ironically the major criticism levied against them came from those
traditionalists. Traditionalists who critiqued bloggers as less worthy
of acclaim because they were not vetted by the established press.
Traditionalists, the likes of noted playwright Aaron Sorkin who agreed
with Sarah Palin when their combined condescension labeled them, "pajama people."
Calbee’s Corporation’s Colonel Crispy potato chips are what you – you in Japan, that is – get when two food colossi join forces. Featuring the familiar folksy face of Colonel Harlan Sanders himself, Calbee’s limited edition Colonel Crispy Potato Chips are flavored with the delicious essence of KFC Japan’s original Colonel Crispy Chicken.
Since 2014 is only a few days away, design aesthetics probably won’t be stunningly different come the new year. So that’s all the more reason to make some predictions! Let’s do this.
