There’s something really nice about taking something form the digital space and giving it physical form. Few privacy concerns maybe, but I like it as a concept.
Designers Rahul Mahtani & Yofred Moik from the Industrial Design program at Syracuse University came up with this concept called Google Envelopes.
Nice bit of tracking so you can use your face as the main input.

Looks like someone has finally turned to tables on “PR-guru” and “arsehole extraordinaire” Max Clifford.
The makers on the new film called Star Suckers have released a viral to promote the film. Here’s the blurb:
“We were worried that by catching Max Clifford on undercover camera boasting about the things he does to protect his clients, we might have lost him some business. When the film was released back in October, we wrote to Max telling him what we had done, and his immediate response was to call infamous law firm Carter Ruck and threaten us with an injunction. But if his clients like Simon Cowell found out their their publicist was mouthing off about them like this, it might hit Max’s bottom line. So we made a little advert for Max to help him drum up some more business.”
I’m going to try write something about Starsuckers soon, but you can see the trailer here. Looks like it’s one to watch – http://www.starsuckersmovie.com/
