Capital Magazine Pretenders Talking. Capital Magazine in France asserted the importance of credible objective reporting in “The Pretenders”, a print advertising campaign launched in 2009. The campaign shows men who speak from a biased point of view. A fishmonger tells us that fish are becoming overpriced. A Chinese leader tells us that counterfeits no longer exist in his country.

This touch interface was also used for numerous portable devices known as PADDs, or Personal Access Display Devices. These mobile computing terminals bear a striking resemblance to Apple's iPad—a mobile computing device largely defined by its smooth, flat touchscreen interface.

All three were involved in various aspects of production art for Star Trek properties, including graphic design, set design, prop design, visual effects, art direction, and more.

Est-ce que la technologie sauvera le monde. Par Hubert Guillaud le 28/10/10 | 5 commentaires | 8,804 lectures | Impression L’université de la singularité est une étrange école, explique Nicola Jones pour Nature. Elle ne décerne pas de diplôme. C’est une école qui, depuis 2009, propose un cursus de 10 semaines à destination d’une élite d’étudiants provenant des meilleures universités et des meilleures entreprises du monde. Sa mission est d’éduquer et d’inspirer les futurs dirigeants à utiliser les nouvelles technologies pour résoudre les grands problèmes de la planète, de la pauvreté à la mauvaise santé ou à l’épuisement des ressources. Rien de moins. Elargir l’horizon ou le technocentrer ? Le principe de la SU consiste à élargir l’horizon des étudiants. Le principe du programme divise. Le programme de la SU est simple.

Sur 1600 étudiants qui ont demandé à faire le cursus, le programme cette année en a retenu 78, provenant de 35 pays différents. La société est-elle soluble dans la technologie ? Ce que la technologie veut.
