something in the way

Apple's design chief, Jonathan Ive, was honored at the Royal College of Art's "Innovation Night" on Tuesday, where he took to the stage. The event was closed to the public and much of the media, but geek.com has provided an account of Ive's talk--as reverse-engineered from Mozilla consultant Pascal Finette's Twittering of the event! Oh, the times we live in.

Here's a rather interesting excerpt:

Ive: My drawing skills are terrible... and I'm a lousy presenter. So I focus on designing instead. :)

Not sure if the smiley icon is Finette's addition, or if it's meant to represent Ive smiling after his statement. What is the Twitter transcription protocol? :)

Brilliant!

I’m a big fan of The Yes Men. They pretend to be powerful people and spokespersons for prominent organizations through the use of fake company websites. Then when they receive invites for lectures, presentations or an appearance on a TV show, they show up and tell whatever they feel is the right thing to tell on behalf of the company they allegedly represent. Above a preview of their new adventure The Yes Men Fix The World. Bonus in the full post: the trailer of The Yes Men.
