Putin Is The Time’s Person of the Year 2007

Time has chosen Vladimir Putin as Person of the Year 2007.

If you wonder why, a quote from the article might help you:
“TIME’s Person of the Year is not and never has been an honor. It is not an endorsement. It is not a popularity contest. At its best, it is a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is and of the most powerful individuals and forces shaping that world—for better or for worse.”

Seen in that light, Putin is rightfully the person of the year. When I look back at how Russia was when I first visited in 1994, it seems like a totally different country today. And the changes, for better or for worse, catapulted after Putin came to powers in 2000.

You can read the whole article here (Time Magazine).

7-Year-Olds Design Computers: The Laptop Club

A group of kids (elementary school) has formed a “mini-laptop-club”, where they draw their own laptops and pretend to email each other.
Their designs really blew my mind and made me start thinking about how a computer keyboard might look like in the future..

You can see the designs here.

Thanks Boing Boing.

Mac Office 2008 Preview

January is coming closer, and the only good thing about that (hopefully) is the new Office 2008 for Mac. Not so much because of all the new features, but mainly because the suite finally runs natively on my Intel Macbook Pro.

But if you want to take a look at some of the new features in Office 2008, Microsoft has launched this site.

This is what you can take a look at:
• Interacting with Entourage
• Presentations & Publications
• Themes & Templates
• Elements Gallery
• Document Elements
• Publishing Layout View
• Officeart
• Smartart Graphics
• Building Charts
• My Day
• Toolbox
• Ledger Sheets
