It’s been a while since we reported on the long unfulfilled Mac tablet rumor, but apparently “sources in Taiwan” have informed Smarthouse that Apple has units in the works for education and enterprise verticals — two areas they’ve mildly backed away from in the past couple of years. If the rumor is to believed, the device will launch mid-2007 and would be designed also to take advantage of home automation processes and be integrated with a new wireless version of Apple’s Hi-Fi, as well as being supposedly dockable with HDMI out. Now, we’re never ones to take these rumors at face value, but we kind of think this particular rumor is a little overboard on the kind of mid to long-range details that Apple is known to protect at all costs. Like the iPhone (until it launches), we’ll be tucking this one away for reference and little else.

The Ministry of the Environment Government of Japan has a guide (PDF) on using cloth as opposed to paper for wrapping gifts to cut down on the wasted paper usually used in gift wrap, great idea.

Cookie cutter gadget? Passe. It’s all about skins, even the kind that may or may not ruin the shiny new finish on your valued consumer electronics. Submitted for your approval: tons of skins for your rare and lustworthy devices. Ok, so the 360 isn’t much of a skin, but we find the literal use of the term rather amusing, and when was the last time you saw a fake-fur faceplate?

Couple hundred pounds of coca leaves, a little cement, caustic soda, ammonia, quicklime, sulfuric acid and a lot of gasoline. Fascinating and horrifying, this could be the best anti-drug video ever…

The clip you are about to watch is a montage of 10 years of funny inventions as seen on the Daily Show. The range of wacky inventions is all over the map and I don’t want to ruin it for you. Just it play to start. Rated PG-13

Semanas atrás eu achei um artigo interessante no Branding Spanking News chamado Animated anchor links with unobstrusive javascript que cria um feito de “scrolling animado” nas âncoras. O JavaScript é sim não obstrusiuvo mas eu não achei elegante a chamada de função no body do HTML da página de exemplo do post do autor do script. Por isso eu alterei o arquivo original e coloquei essa chamada dentro do próprio JavaScript e se quiser utilizar minha versão alterada (a mesma que eu uso aqui no site) sinta-se à vontade. Se preferir utilize a versão original do autor. Só peço o favor de copiar o script para seu próprio servidor ok?
