New ads With the next Miss New Zealand pageant around the corner, it was time to update the ads. The old ones with Katie Taylor still worked conceptually, although the new Priyani Puketapu ones had to be created from scratch with (nearly) the same typefaces.

Seems like IKEA are really shaking things up this year. In addition to the previously announced TV set, they’re also going to release a digital camera made of cardboard called Knäppa (“Snap”). It’ll hold 40 photographs at a time and plugs directly into your USB port. While it’s not the prettiest camera the world has ever seen, I do love the idea of a screen-less digital camera that brings people back to the wait-and-see days of film.

Actually, that is a gorgeous piece of design.

Like ‘em keychain-sized screenless ‘lomo’ digital cameras.

The Ikea camera Those Swedes are at it again. I like this one, too.

Better Explorer Brings a Windows 8-Style Explorer to Windows 7, Ribbon and All - Lifehacker
I just installed it and it is awesome.

I may do too.

Over the edge I haven’t tried this but judging by the above screen shot, I have to say it looks cluttered and messy. Why are programs getting impractical again?
