Angajatii Canon lucreaza in iad

You might think your job sucks, but at least your boss wasn't insane enough to remove all the chairs and install security so an alarm goes off if you don't walk fast enough.

The president of Canon Electronics, Hisashi Sakamaki, is also the author of a book proposing some of the same measures he takes with his own company. His theory is that forcing employees to stand not only saves money but increases productivity and enhances employee relationships.

UNIFORMELE! Nimeni nu observa uniformele?
Nu mai vreau sa folosesc camere Canon... sau imprimante.

Perceptia impresionismului

The sun is set against the dawn, the orange color against the gray and the vibrant force of the sun against its motionless surroundings. To many spectators, the sun undulates or pulsates slightly. Why is this so? The sun is nearly the same luminance as the grayish clouds. Notice how the sun nearly disappears if you remove the color.
The sun is perceived differently is different parts of our mind. To the more primitive subdivisions of our brain, the sun is nearly invisible. But to the primate subdivision, the sun appears normal. Thus, there is an inconsistency between our perception of the sun in the primitive and primate portions of our brain.

Campanie Sony-Ericsson Satio - telefon cu 12 Megapixeli

A fost odata ca niciodata Sony Ericsson care vroia sa promoveze noul telefon cu o camera de 12 Megapixeli. La alte telefoane facusera reclame cu tehnica, imagini speciale si orgii de graphic design. Totusi de data asta le trebuia ceva mai eficient. Asa ca au decis ei sa faca toate materialele promotionale pozand cu telefonul. In fond vroiau sa evidentieze functiile nu telefonul. Si asa au facut...

Ah si e si o gagica cam dezbracata in toate pozele... that never hurts.
