Microsoft iPod

What if Microsoft redesigned the branding for Apples’ iPod?
This is a slick little three minute movie showing just how MS goes about designing/redesigning their packaging. Possibly 
And… it’s funny because it’s true.

Honda Civic Type R
Posted on February 25, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
They said it was dead – they said no more ‘Type R’ Civics would ever be made…
But, ladies and gentlemen – It’s back from the dead in its new 2006 3-door body shell form. These are the first shots of the new 2007 Honda Civic Type R.
Wow.
As if the standard version didn’t look good enough (well – the European version anyway), this thing is awesome. Anyone who says Honda is dull, boring and only make cars for old people, well, I’ll let the pictures do the talking
What’s also amazing is that they are talking about doing a ‘Type RR’ – an idea borrowed from the motorbike division, featuring lightweight carbon fibre-bodied versions of the Type R’s. Can’t wait for the shots of those!
“When is it out?” I hear you scream (or is that just in my head?)… early 2007 is the answer. More details will tip up during the Geneva Motor show taking place next week.

Another Civic movie
Posted on February 19, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
The ‘Lost in Space’ guys have produced a brilliant short movie for the launch of the new Honda Civic here in Europe.
Around 2 minutes long, the movie sees the car in some surreal poses and angles. It’s not quite as good as the UK advert that’s currently running – but still excellent.

Underground music
Posted on February 4, 2006, by Darren, under World/Web News.
Dorian Lynskey has taken Harry Beck’s world famous London underground map from 1933 – and transformed it into a logical map of the last 100 years’ worth of music.
It’s very clever.

The Power of Screams
Posted on January 7, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
Remember I mentioned in an earlier post that there was a new Honda Civic 2006 advert out soon?
Well, here’s a still from it (click thumb to enlarge).
Apparently “only human voices were used during the making of the advert”. Intriguing.
We’ll just have to wait till until the spot airs within the next few weeks to find out what it’s all about.
UPDATE (14/01/06): The new advert aired yesterday here in the UK, and they’ve managed to out-do themselves yet again.
Take a look at the new advert : Honda Civic 2006
