Is this a glimpse into the future of car racing?

Cafe Creative, a Hungarian ad agency set out to prove to their deadline-setting clients, that for good and original ideas to be born, it is essential to have enough time.

So they asked school children to perform two tasks:

1. Complete a drawing in ten seconds and
2. Complete the same drawing in ten minutes.

The results were captured into the below video that has also been shortlisted at the 2011 Golden Drum Advertising Festival.

On 06/10/2011 my day started at 5:30am. Blurry eyed I pressed the home button on my iPhone and the first thing that I saw on that day was a push notification from NDTV India…"Steve Jobs, Apple's visionary, dies at 56". The next few seconds felt like some invisible force had knocked the air out of me. The Newton equivalent from the modern world was just gone in a blink of an eye! The world would not be the same without him!

While all the social channels were flooded with people sharing the news, all I could do was post a few tribute pictures on Facebook. I wanted to write a few lines about it on Ramble, but I sat speechless through out the day. In fact the days that followed were similar and I could not find the words to pen down anything, that is until now.

Of the dozens of memorial photos and videos that have been created to honor Steve Jobs, I found the following to be the most appropriate for the occasion…

1) A musician who calls himself AzR has created the below video with sounds from Apple products and Steve's 2005 Stanford commencement speech. Every instrument, including drums, has been sampled from a Mac product, tuned by ear, and replayed in the context of the song...

2) The fans in Germany found a wonderful way to express their respect for Steve. They created a portrait of him out of 4001 Post-it Notes! The portrait now adorns the front-facing glass walls of an Apple Store in Munich, Germany...

3) I have also gathered some of his memorable videos and tribute photos on YouTube and Facebook.

To sum up, I am just glad to have lived in a period of world history that witnessed Steve Jobs change the world!

UPDATE
Now available online..."A celebration of Steve's life"...a special memorial event filmed live at the Apple campus in Cupertino, California.

The Augmented Reality technology has come a long way over the last couple of years. Brands from around the world have been actively using it in their campaigns to engage their target audience. Still we are yet to see it play an everyday role in our life's.

A recent video released by Hidden Creative shows how cellphones or a digital devices can be used to scan ones surrounding and get live information on the spot. The video also demonstrates how augmented reality can overlay objects in a real-life space to help users with renovations by virtually rearranging furniture or configuring the colors virtually...

But before we even get to a future like this, companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft/Nokia, along with their developers, will need to standardize the Augmented Reality experience on their respective platforms. One master app that runs across all the platforms could be the start as right now the app stores are cluttered with a large number of Augmented Reality apps.

Liquid Mountaineering is a new sport which is attempting to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water.

The guys in the video found out that with the right water repellent equipment one can run across bodies of water, just like a stone skimming the surface.

This definitely makes a really cool viral video promoting a water proof line of clothing, shoes and accessories that are supposedly so water repellent that you can literally run on water with them, after some training ofcourse!

PS: The video is fake. It's a viral ad for Hi-Tec water-resistant running shoes.
