Conversations with Siri

Me: Siri, you're so smart.
Siri: Thanks for saying so!

Me: Siri, who made you?
Siri: Like it says on the box... I was designed by Apple in California.

Me: Siri, will you marry me?
Siri: My End User Licensing Agreement does not cover marriage. My apologies.

Me: Siri, you're pretty.
Siri: Oh, stop.

Me: Siri, you're fat.
Siri: You're certainly entitled to that opinion.

Me: Siri, I love you.
Siri: I hope you don't say that to those other mobile phones.


I don't, Siri. I don't.

Nomad

A paintbrush for your iPad! Nomad is cool.

(I still prefer the real thing on paper, though)

Mat & Nat

Finally, a nice laptop bag (and vegan, too...though, for a note on "vegan," check this graphic out). It always astounds me that nicer laptop bags don't exist. Find it here.

Breaking it up

Something far more interesting than using Facebook user data for targeted advertising: Using it to look at cultural trends. David McCandless and Lee Byron culled data from Facebook status updates to determine patterns in breakup habits, as you can see by the graph below. Read more about it here.

Carpuccino

Cool! The Carpuccino is a car that runs on coffee grinds.

Amazingness: Bookbook is a hardback cover for your MacBook or MacBook Pro.

Ride the Wave

A clearcut, humorous explanation of Google Wave.

Pretty cool:

"Energy: Batteries that draw oxygen from the air could provide a cheaper, lighter and longer-lasting alternative to existing designs"
