So yes; now you are going to be able to see a couple of ‘Little Richards’ in your bar drink going forward. The cubes were designed so the Virgin… Read More →

Thomas Edison’s To-Do List

Thomas Edison’s To-Do List

Many people argue whether a To-Do list is effective or not. I haven’t done any scientific experiments to come up with a conclusion but I have an example to prove it is effective. Thomas Edison, the fourth most prolific inventor in history thus a ridiculously busy man, created a 5 page To-Do list handwritten in January of 1,888 when Edison was 40 years old. The list include many devices that greatly influenced life… Read More →

Apple’s Music Album: “The Apple Boogie”

How a 5MB hard drive looked like in 1956. tl;dr: Huge! [Image]

Sure, your iPad can hold 16 GB of data and weights less than 2 pounds. But back in 1956 it would require a truck or maybe something bigger to lift a 16 GB iPad because the hard drives back then were huge in size and weight. Want prove? In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first ‘super’ computer with a hard disk drive. The hard disk weighed over… Read More →

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the website you go to stalk people (Facebook), is now a gladiator. Not only does he hunt his own meal; now he also hunts his employees in a battle of fake gladiators. I don’t know about you but I would think about it twice before fighting against the CEO who employs me. What if I break his nose or humiliate him in front of every other… Read More →

But don’t let a simple logo fool you, the process of drafting and creating one is actually tedious, repetitive, and at times frustrating; even more when Steve Jobs is micro-managing all your steps and ranting drafts he… Read More →

Sears Sold Cocaine… Lots of it

Sears Sold Cocaine… Lots of it

Isn’t cocaine illegal to sell and distribute in the United States? Yes, now. But that wasn’t the case back in the 1800s when Sears was still called Sears, Roebuck and Co. In the 1890s the Sears & Roebuck catalogue, which was distributed to millions of Americans homes, offered a syringe and a small amount of cocaine for $1.50. Yes, the place where you go to buy your appliances and wrenches used to sell… Read More →

Steve Jobs Testing And Playing With Photo Booth [Images]

Steve Jobs Testing And Playing With Photo Booth [Images]

Steve Jobs was a great visionary and leader, and extremely demanding. And by extremely we mean EXTREMELY (Yeah, I hate captions too but I wanted to make a point). Many of his employees were scared of him, but at the same time admired him. But Steve also had fun and goofy moments at Apple as you can see in the following pictures. One day in 2005, Steve Jobs tested out a few… Read More →
