Stussy Stock City Tee
Stussy is an international veteran of streetwear. What I really like about Stussy as that they have evolved from the shapeless baggy look into more streamlined grown-up work.

Analytics Time!
IBM are buying SPSS for $1.2bn. What does this mean?
Well after they dumped their hardware business and sent out a flare around the importance of predictive analytics is it really too surprising? However the $50 a share they are paying represents a highpoint in SPSS stock which climbed 41% on the back of the news
The way that these guys view this is that SPSS will augment their 'information on demand' strategy. So that means predictive analytics will become part of big businesses day to day working process?
How long before Oracle buys SAS?
Oh my, maybe we are onto something? Big Blue...you know where we are...

Back in the summer of '81 I was young - no cares, just dreams - it was a huge cricket fan (remember that Ashes series?) and a bigger video game destroyer. Ask all the people at the arcade (Pac-man; killed it...count those 9 keys! - Kong; we all jumped through the floor - Q-Bert; i was just too fast). However I am going to go out on a limb here and say that the best video game ever was TRON!
The good news is that Disney are following their 2010 Jeff Bridges movie release TRON Legacy with a game TR2N - if you were around the first time you will here for the next...it defined gaming back in the day and will take geeks to an even higher standing in the community in 2011
Bring on those lightcycles!

Space Over!
I don't usually do this; but I signed up to B-test google wave yesterday. You must know what wave is by now...communication, collaboration all in one place - sign up here!
https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wavesignup/
The reason why I signed up? Easy - sorry people but google just gives us useful stuff, igoogle is great, g-mail gives unlimited space and I am using chrome right now. The thing is; wave integrates all those and IM and could kill twitter and facebook...no, I really think so, am I crazy?
Isn't it a beautiful thing?
Let's face it - all you g-mail users will jump on this and give it the widespread adoption it needs to kill mail, twitter and FB. Also, google is google - the richest company in the world - mix that money, search, and all of its applications (not apps) and it wins! Sign up now

No idea why i posted this....
...but Stella McCartney has gone all Disney on us in her latest autumn/winter ad campaign. Model Sigrid Agren is surrounded by Bambi characters stealing the shot. Stella has always been outspoken in her ethical stance on animal rights, just like her mum Linda
Say's Stella: “I’m a huge Bambi fan, and the film reminds me of my mum,” said McCartney. “And we wanted to have some fun. The clothes in the campaign are looking quite fierce, and we wanted to contrast them with the innocence of Bambi”.
To be honest I don't know if this is genius or ridiculous but given the amount of advertising space in the September issue of Vogue it is sure to achieve stand-out!

Free for Free
Chris Anderson's new book "Free" picks up on the free internet phenonmenon — Google, YouTube, Radiohead albums, analyticsarbitrage..... the problem is that despite the radical nature of the concept he still flogs his book at $26.99 at your local Barnes and Noble. Now thats radical!
Anderson has taken a lot of flak over this, most noticably from Malcolm Gladwell so Chris did the right thing and offered "Free" for free - you can download it directly from wired.com or via spotify.
Advertising is the most powerful way that we have seen free digital content and yes, of course the audiobook is supported by ads in Spotify.
I spent half an hour on sunday morning grabbing it and I suggest you do the same
