The wolves Hoax

Remember that video that was all over the web a couple weeks ago with the Russian cop pulling over a car, then jumping into said car for protection when a pack of wild wolves seemingly comes out of nowhere? Turns out it was part of an ad for Eristoff Vodka and we’ve all been had. So that’s fun.

The M a sandwich for experts

DDB is one of the great in the Advertising world, here their Budapest office came up with this very clever ad for the M, a sandwich for experts. Instead of having a burger standing in the middle of the shot you have 6 books piled up: Breads & Co – The Encyclopedia of Salad – Tomato : A Complete Guide – The Special Book of Cheese – Meat : New Edition – The Very Best of Bread : 100 Recipes.

Internet Live update

This morning I came accross this impressive and quite scary tool. US consumers were pinching pennies during the recession, but their spending on virtual goods through Faceboook and iPhone Apps is still booming at an impressive rate. If you have an idea of social gaming hit me up :-)

"Living statistics – Many of us who have been following social media since the early 90s are very sensitive to today’s exponential growth in usage of the sharing web. Inspired by other cool real time counters, Social Media Industry Head, Laurel Papworth, my own Rise & Rise of Social Media presentations and various ‘cool’ videos (you know the ones) I decided to put together this little Flash app  (which is in constant development) showing how active & dynamic the Social Web, Mobile Industry and Game Business is. More after the embed."

ps: the board is reactive, just choose the tablets you want to activate

Future looks bright

Seeing a need and the pressure to provide an unlimited energy source in remote areas without having to build a 60meters supporting structure, Fred Ferguson created the MARS (Maggen Air Rotor System) Turbine, which is essentially a tethered, floating wind turbine.

From Cool Hunting:

"Essentially a blimp covered in fins, Ferguson’s turbine flies 1,000 feet high, connecting to the ground with a tether that doubles as an energy conductor.

Like conventional wind turbines, MARS uses magnetic induction to produce energy, but the difference comes with increased altitude. Catching wind 800 feet higher than its traditional counterparts, there’s much less resistance and greater wind speed, ultimately allowing the MARS access to a superior crop of wind. Another advantage, the turbine can produce energy in winds as low as seven mph and as high as 63 mph whereas contemporary turbines shut down around 35 mph and with little or no wind, they become useless."

It will be commercially available early 2011. A more compact version is also being developed.

The future of Energy looks bright again, it will be a kite festival everyday :)
