Facebook, the social networking site which is booming right now, has some pretty amazing art on their walls. The artist’s name is David Choe (shown in the first image) who is a part of Outer Edge Studio. This stuff is awesome, though if I were working next to it, I would not get anything done because I would be looking at it all the time. Luckily for Facebook’s employees, it looks like most, if not all of it is not near work areas.
What is the one thing that strikes fear in the heart of any Apple geek’s spouse? Why, the thought that their Mac-obsessed partner might one day bring home a nearly 6-foot tall neon Apple logo, of course! And for one unlucky person, that nightmare may become a reality.
Apple Authorized dealer Mac Resource of Huntsville, AL is auctioning the 5-foot to 10-inch sign on eBay, which has stood proudly on their exterior wall for many years. According to the description, the sign works perfectly, and the company who made the sign will be taking it down and crating it for shipment. All you have to do is come up with thousands and thousands of dollars. (Currently, the bidding is up to $2600 with an unmet reserve, so no telling what Mac Resource hopes to get).
Created for a series of Halo shorts by would-be Halo director Neill Blomkamp (the first of which we saw at E3), WETA’s Warthog is built to correct scale and features the appropriate equipment mounted on back.
ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) – Everyone’s a winner after a direct-mail marketing company hired by a local car dealership mistakenly sent out 50,000 scratch-off tickets to residents – all of them declaring the ticket-holder the $1,000 grand prize winner. Just one of the tickets was supposed to be the grand prize winner.
Jeff Kohn, Roswell Honda general manager said a typographical error by Atlanta-based Force Events Direct Marketing, which printed the advertisement, had given all 50,000 scratch-off tickets grand prizes.
“Unfortunately, they missed it in the proofreading,” said Kohn, who was able to stop an estimated 20,000 direct mailers from being sent.
Kohn said the dealership is “making a full-faith effort” to investigate the mistake, which he said is “not how we portray ourselves or our community.”
In a statement, Force Events apologized “for any inconvenience this may has caused car shoppers in the Roswell market” and asked that any questions and concerns be directed to the company.
Force Events representatives are expected to be in Roswell on Thursday to sort out the mess, Kohn said.
Meanwhile, the names, addresses and phone numbers of “winners” who arrive at the dealership were being taken down. Kohn said they will all be invited back to the dealership.
“At this point, I don’t know what exactly the company’s solution is going to be,” Kohn said. “We are not sure how Force Events is going to handle this matter. That’s why they are flying out to Roswell and that’s why I’m taking down people’s names.”
