Een shockerende documentaire over de werkelijke kosten van katoen in Uzbekistan.

Ongeveer een derde van de beroepsbevolking wordt tewerk gesteld in de verbouw van katoen. Tienduizenden kinderen worden jaarlijks gedwongen ingeschakeld voor het plukken van katoen. Het verbouwen van katoen heeft ook onvoorstelbare schade aangebracht aan het milieu.

De Aral Zee, eens het derde grootste binnenmeer ter wereld, die de gehele regio voorzag van water en vis, is gekrompen tot ongeveer 15% van haar oorspronkelijke omvang, het water en de aarde zijn verpest, waardoor boeren steeds meer water toepassen, wat er voor zorgt dat de grond verder verslchterd en woestijnen beginnen te onsttaan. Het milieu in Uzbekistan is inmiddels onherstelbaar is beschadigd. Bekijk de shockerende documentaire. Continue reading »

Niet wassen maar vriezen is het motto voor de nieuwe eco-jeans van Tristar uit Rio.

Je favoriete bio-katoenen spijkerbroek kun je nu gewoon tussen de doperwten en de pizza’s leggen. Dat haalt gegarandeerd binnen 24 uur alle bacterieen uit je kleding.

Hoe we het moeten aanpakken met ketchup vlekken, kinder-kots en schoensmeer, is niet helemaal duidelijk; maar dat schijnt de nieuwste mode te worden.

Als je Virgin bent, dan bouw je een onderwater vliegtuig omdat je het kán.

Om toe te voegen aan hun al mooie lijst activiteiten – Virgin Atlantic Airways, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Megastores, Virgin Cola, Virgin Galactic – Sir Richard Branson heeft hier nu aan toegevoegd de “Necker Nymph,” een drie persoons “aero-submarine,” ontworpen om de vluchtpatronen van een vliegtuig onder het water oppervlakte na te bootsen.

Nog een extra extreem brand-profiling component in de avontuurlijke merkstrategie van Virgin. Continue reading »

Apple iPad Just Tried To Assassinate Laptops

Only way to interpret the launch of the iPad? Apple has declared the PC dead. Well-crafted but closed devices are their future of consumer computing. And if no one else can match the iPad experience, they may be right.

“In many ways this defines our vision, our sense of what’s next.” – Jonathan Ive Continue reading »

A lot of people are psyched about the iPad. Not me! My god, am I underwhelmed by it. It has some absolutely backbreaking failures that will make buying one the last thing I would want to do.

Big, Ugly Bezel
Have you seen the bezel on this thing?! It’s huge! I know you don’t want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on.

No Multitasking
This is a backbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can’t listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can’t have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can’t have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product.

No Cameras
No front facing camera is one thing. But no back facing camera either? Why the hell not? I can’t imagine what the downside was for including at least one camera. Could this thing not handle video iChat?

Touch Keyboard
So much for Apple revolutionizing tablet inputs; this is the same big, ugly touchscreen keyboard we’ve seen on other tablets, and unless you’re lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it’ll be awkward to use.

No HDMI Out
Want to watch those nice HD videos you downloaded from iTunes on your TV? Too damned bad! If you were truly loyal, you’d just buy an AppleTV already.

The Name iPad
Get ready for Maxi pad jokes, and lots of ‘em!

No Flash
No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch. On something that’s supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites. I hope you don’t care about streaming video! God knows not many casual internet users do. Oh wait, nevermind, they all do.

Adapters, Adapters, Adapters
So much for those smooth lines. If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of ugly adapters. You need an adapter for USB for god’s sake.

Update: Why stop at 8? Here are more things we are discovering that suck about the iPad.

It’s Not Widescreen
Widescreen movies look lousy on this thing thanks to its 4:3 screen, according to Blam, who checked out some of Star Trek on one. It’s like owning a 4:3 TV all over again!

Doesn’t Support T-Mobile 3G
Sure, it’s “unlocked.” But it won’t work on T-Mobile, and it uses microSIMs that literally no one else uses.

A Closed App Ecosystem
The iPad only runs apps from the App Store. The same App Store that is notorious for banning apps for no real reason, such as Google Voice. Sure, netbooks might not have touchscreens, but you can install whatever software you’d like on them. Want to run a different browser on your iPad? Too bad!

Apple’s Wednesday press conference, where we’ll likely see an Apple tablet, is shaping up to be the Cupertino, California, company’s most-anticipated event ever.

The Jan. 27 event, titled “Come see our latest creation,” will likely be marked down in history as the sequel to Steve Jobs’ legendary keynote at Macworld Expo 2007, where the CEO introduced the iPhone. Continue reading »
