Seeing Customers as Partners in Invention
By MARY TRIPSAS Published: December 26, 2009
IMAGINE a planetarium-style presentation about the future of technology, followed by a tour of dozens of hands-on exhibits — whether of sandlike microparticles that flow like liquid in a beaker, pictures that appear three-dimensional or concrete that floats.

via youtube.com
Performed, produced, edited, filmed by high schoolers. Notice that everything in the background is going backwards—hint on how it was probably done which makes it more impressive. Plus, I enjoy that they may respect some of the music of the 1980’s :)

Penelope Cruz--channeling Audrey Hepburn?
via rogerebert.suntimes.com This is a still shot from Broken Embraces, the new Pedro Almodovar movie featuring Penelope Cruz. This reminds me so much of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. She strikingly resembles Audrey Hepburn. Almost, eerily. Posted via web from Consumerologist’s posterous | Comment »

Detroit’s Unemployment Rate Is Nearly 50%, According to the Detroit News
Officially, Detroit’s unemployment rate is just under 30 percent. But the city’s mayor and local leaders are suggesting a far more disturbing figure — the actual jobless rate, they say, is closer to 50 percent.
As many have noted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which culls federal unemployment...

Cash is King: The Return of Christmas Clubs for...
Last year, marketers discussed Kmart’s re-introduction of layaway. I am surprised so little digital ink has been given to Christmas Clubs. If you were born in the 1980s or beyond, chances are you have never heard of “christmas clubs”. For older Americans, it was a prominent community banking service utilized heavily in the 1970s along with layaway. Simply put, one would...

Today’s corporate leaders are struggling to figure out how to use social media to further their business strategy. At Dell, we believe this is backwards thinking. Social media isn’t a means to further a corporation’s strategy, it’s a means to help determine it.

Stressing the Web, ‘NewsHour’ Begins an Overhaul
ARLINGTON, Va. — Until recently, the employees who worked on the Web site of “The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer” on PBS were based in a building a brisk five-minute walk through city traffic from their on-air colleagues. The Web and television staffs interacted only at Mr. Lehrer’s annual holiday party. “They were all the recognizably young ones,” said Linda Winslow, the...
