DIY Phone Dial Web Browser!
This has to be the most wackiest DIY ever, a phone dial that let’s you browser the web via IP addresses.
Well, technically, you won’t be able to surf the web with this phone dial unless you can remember IP addresses of every website you visit but still is a cool project.
Let’s just say this DIY is more of an artwork than it is a practical thing to make.
Our relationship with technology is quickly becoming analogous to our relationship with fast food. Like the fast food restaurant chain McDonalds, information technology (e.g. the internet) seems to be everywhere. We expect it to be fast, and collectively value convenience and efficiency over elegance and craft. In the Phone Dial Web Browser, I ask how we might bring beauty and appreciation for craft back into our interaction with the now commonplace, pervasive web browser.

Loading ...Holographic Appearance by Bill Gates in Malaysia!
Bill Gates made a “holographic appearance” in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at World Congress on Information Technology 2008.
Perhaps, he’s trying this new method after being pancaked once and Steve Ballmer being egged the other day.
Neverthless, kudos to Gates for trying something new without having to travel.
KUALA LUMPUR: Bill Gates, chairman of software powerhouse Microsoft Corp, made a five-minute virtual appearance at the World Congress on Information Technology 2008 here.
A 4.6m holographic projection of the billionaire enthralled the 400-strong audience at the congress yesterday at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
The image was shot in high definition and projected onto plastic foil which was stretched out in the centre’s Plenary Hall.
The result was life-like and impressive and the crowd applauded the effort.
