Apple is introducing the long awaited iPhone as Steve Jobs announced during his annual keynote speech at MacWorld. But there's more. In this spoofed keynote speech by Greenpeace we hear that Apple turns green. Nice timing! See Green My Apple. (Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned?)

If I tell you that a very traditional, stylish and high fashion brand like Gucci has decided to build its new website without using Flash, the first thing you might think is: "my God, how conservative, old stylish (and boring) they are!". What I expect you to say is simply "wow!!!". Yes, "wow", because Gucci has decided to drop Flash and opt for a much more innovative solution: Web 2.0 technologies (a.o. Javascript and Ajax just to name a few).
