Simple is the acronym for sustainable and innovative mobility product for low energy consumption, a vehicle concept combining features and advantages of both motorcars and motorcycles. The concept owes its protective passenger compartment to motorcars whereas the streamline shape, the two occupants seated one behind the other and the uniquely driving experience are naturally owed to motorcycles. Whilst researching ideas for futuristic urban mobility combined with the prerequisite of reduced consumption (less than 2l /100 km eqals more than 120mpg) and emission values (50g CO2 /100 km), the BMW Group spawned this concept vehicle featuring the extremely low weight of 450 kg and aerodynamic drag properties (0,18 drag coefficient), which of course also fulfilled all the BMW Group premium brand demands: sheer driving pleasure, innovative vehicle configuration, technology integration and a sense of comfort and spaciousness.

So strangely captivating.
This video goes behind-the-scenes and reveals how all those ads on billboards and in magazines are really created.
It’s all about inner-beauty. That’s what counts most.

So here’s a long story made short.
Rapper Kanye West first introduced his concept clothing line called Pastelle in Spring 2006. Over three years later, we still do not have any definitive information about it. Although it appears Kanye has worn nunmerous peices from what is now called the Past-Tell line, not a single article of clothing or accessories have been released yet. According to its Wikipedia page, Kanye has made it known that “The first Pastelle Clothing store will open up late 2009 in Chicago — followed by the New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco launch.” The website Past.Tell.Museum has been idle ever since its creation.
Today the blog The Black Nouveau has “sourced” three photos of what may be future Pasttell jackets and shirts. As the official announcement of the clothing line keeps getting pushed year after year, I’m skeptical if Pasttell will ever become a reality. Now, though, with Kanye taking a break from touring, maybe he will find some time to fulfill the promise he made three years ago.

This is one awesome mod. It’s a Nintendo Entertainment System ROM player built into an NES game cartridge. Apparently “it’s just a generic Chinese media player that can play NES, Gameboy, and Gameboy Color ROMs, along with the relevant controller bits, a 2.8-inch LCD, 4GB of storage, and a rechargeable battery.” You can also hook it up to a TV to play that way. Go back in time you nostalgic dreamers with the video above.

A few months ago Intel created an ad campaign highlighting who they deem are “rockstars.” One of these commericals highlighted Ajay Bhatt, the co-inventor of the USB port. After some investigating, the crew at The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien found out that the Bhatt in the Intel commercial was not Bhatt but an look-alike actor. So, Conan decided to sit down with Bhatt in what turns out to be an informative and obviously comical interview. The clip shows the original Intel ad…and at the end of the clip, Conan reveals a new one, this time featuring Bhatt himself. Worth the watch, enjoy!
