'Ring Clock' Makes Time-Telling Fashion Statement. Product name: Ring ClockPrice: $195 on IndiegogoWho would like this?
: Early adopters, technophiles, people who run late and hate watches Move over wristwatch, there’s a new time-teller in town and it doesn't need a fancy “smart” interface to attract techies. Meet the Ring Clock, a watch for your digits that is nothing –- absolutely nothing –- like the ring watches you wore and subsequently abhorred in middle school. The trend from the early '00s has gotten a major overhaul, and the result is something that feels akin to a gadget James Bond might wear. And that’s just the feeling you get before you watch the opening to the video.
Using a wirelessly charging battery and LED lights, the Ring Clock displays the time when you rotate the ring, lighting up three different rows that represent the hour, minute and each second as it passes by. You’ll get up to a week's worth of lifetime from one full charge (assuming 15 activations per day) or two hours of constant use. Pusher Christmas 2012. The Little Stitches wish you wonderful holidays and a Happy New Year.
Publishers Are in Love With ThingLink the New Photo Platform. In a world where half of Facebook posts are now images, Web editors swoon over responsive design and brands place photos in tweets, it’s clear the Internet has become a more visual place.
Now, one company is looking to exploit the love of pictures with a product that both editors and advertisers can use to make digital images more interactive, engaging and, perhaps most importantly, super shareable. “If you communicate through an image, people engage with it—we know that because of Facebook,” said Neil Vineberg, CMO of the two-year-old startup ThingLink. “And if you put content inside an image, the engagements go crazy.” Vineberg observed that images embedded with videos, annotations or links see clickthrough rates of as much as 50 percent. Forbes recently started using ThingLink to enhance its storytelling on the Web, turning a pictorial of the Forbes 400 into an interactive infographic complete with videos, story links and data. Some 100,000 other publishers have signed on. Tenho que ver se.
A New Kind of Catalog: The 2013 IKEA Catalog App Preview. “Cuida do Teu Bairro”: arquitecto quer lisboetas a cuidar da rua como cuidam de casa. Ruas sujas, cheiro a urina, património descuidado, um bairro “um pouco assustador” em pleno centro de Lisboa.
Foi com este cenário que o arquitecto Pedro Pinto Correia se deparou quando montou escritório na freguesia dos Anjos, uma “zona no círculo das sete colinas de Lisboa”, com “potencial turístico”, mas completamente descuidada. Foi dessa “inquietude pessoal” que, em Março, começou a desenhar-se o “Cuida do Teu Bairro”, um projecto que quer pôr os lisboetas a “respeitar mais o espaço público que é de todos”. Para isso, acredita o jovem arquitecto de 31 anos, basta que se encare o bairro como se encara a casa: “As pessoas não urinam no chão de casa nem deitam o lixo para o chão.
Basta que façam o mesmo na rua.” A Junta de freguesia dos Anjos acolheu o projecto e, no passado dia 25 de Julho, as mensagens começaram a espalhar-se pela zona. ”Espírito bairrista” A equipa do “Cuida do Teu Bairro” já colou nos postes e zonas permitidas para o efeito os primeiros cartazes.
