Intel values its people
It is trendy nowadays to communicate yourself as a company which values its people. Giving the fact that Intel is a large corporation – governed by corporate rules – , I don’t think that they gonna fool anyone. But still,, these three ads are very well made and extremely funny.

How many beautiful things are we missing?
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

Peter Funch: Babel Tales Gallery
Peter Funch, born in 1974 in Denmark, who lives and works in New York, is a fine observer of human behavior. In this particular photo set he gather at the same time identical moments of different people who found themselves in the same place. Imagine if all the people near you are smoking right now. What kind of scenery would that be? What if you see that everyone is screaming?
He imagined all this and further more he captures the moment on camera.
10/GUI: reinvent desktop human-computer interaction
This is indeed a revolutionary approach to change the way we interact with a computer.
The video examines the benefits and limitations inherent in current mouse-based and window-oriented interfaces, the problems facing other potential solutions, and visualizes C. Miller’s proposal for a completely new way of interacting with desktop computers.
He proposes a new desktop software interface in which the windows – for example – are lined up in a linear dimension. I think his way of using it would be a limitation of the hardware rather than putting it in the spotlight. The real amazing thing would be to use the 10/GUI on the actual OS’s on the market.

Herta Mueller wins 2009 Nobel Literature Prize
By MATT MOORE and KARL RITTER, Associated Press Writers
Herta Mueller, a little-known Romanian-born author who was persecuted for her critical depictions of life behind the Iron Curtain, won the 2009 Nobel Prize in literature Thursday in an award seen as a nod to the 20th anniversary of communism’s collapse.
The decision was expected to keep alive the controversy surrounding the academy’s pattern of awarding the prize to European writers.
Mueller, a member of Romania’s ethnic German minority, was honored for work that “with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed,” the Swedish Academy said.
