As reported in ‘The Register’:

“”Built with the Google Custom Search Engine, Google minus Google conveniently filters out domains such as YouTube, Blogger, Gmail, Knol, Orkut, and – most importantly – Jaiku. In other words, it removes Google’s conflict of interest. Or at least some of it.”

: Day of shame

“Unique combination of electronic entertainment device – the cult iPod touch – and a modern fridge freezer from Gorenje opens up new dimensions of living, fun, cuisine, and household tasks. Specially designed and developed Gorenje fridge features a docking station that enables charging the iPod, playing back music and video through built-in speakers, and connecting to the world-wide-web, if wireless connection is available in the kitchen. iPod has conquered the world, and new Gorenje appliances with interactive functions are conquering contemporary kitchens as they anticipate and set new trends.”

What a complete crock of horse crap.

As designers, we hang our heads in shame that someone related to our profession can either think up shite like this or be so dominated by a marketing department that they agree that it’s something worth doing.

Phewey.

Mr Gilmour’s work has been doing the rounds ont he interwebby of late but it was only just today that we looked up his work. What this man can do with cardboard, yes, you read right, is simply amazing. Well worth having a look at his life size recreations.
