Macworld 2008 keynote in 60 seconds

Posted by bordalix Thu, 17 Jan 2008 10:23:00 GMT

Due to a heavy lack of time, I was not able to watch this year Macworld keynote. But that's ok, since Mahalo has done a great job trimming the 90 minutes Steve Jobs' keynote to a 60 second video.

The sub-prime crisis in graphics

Posted by bordalix Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:10:00 GMT

After the video (and not so serious) version, the BBC's graphical explanation for the sub-prime crisis. Finally I start to understand what's all about, and the possible consequences still to come.

The paradox of choice

Posted by bordalix Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:23:00 GMT

Via Daring Fireball, another great presentation from TED, by Barry Schwartz:

Barry Schwartz studies the relationship between economics and psychology, delivering startling insights into modern life. His latest book, The Paradox of Choice, argues that the abundance of choice in today’s western world leads not to happiness but psychological distress.

Catching the blog

Posted by bordalix Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:50:00 GMT

I often ask myself the following question:

    How creativity is being strangled by the law

    Posted by bordalix Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:28:00 GMT

    A great TED Talk from Lawrence Lessig (aka Larry Lessig), on how the fundamentals of law are not ready to coupe with the present process of generating culture, the phenomena known as user generated content. It's a very elegant presentation of "3 examples and one argument".

    I'm a great fan of Lawrence's work, read some of his books, praise him for the creation of the creative commons license, and love the way he does presentations (with the slides synchronized with the speech).
