The stories posted on this site are hilarious.  I haven’t read through them all but here are my favorites at the moment:

“It’s like Twitter.  Except we charge people to use it.”

The ducks in the bathroom are not mine.

In the picture: iPhone launch on top, Palm Pre on bottom.  For those of you that don’t know, the Palm Pre has had some great reviews that pit it’s features against the iPhone – the palm pre won in 8/12 categories in one review.

Honestly though – this comparison is completely unfair since the iPhone line picture was taken at an Apple store, and the Palm Pre picture was taken at just a regular store (a sprint store maybe?).  Either way, what this picture does show is the power of Apple’s marketing and presence in the tech industry.  Their store is an amazing outlet for the iPhone, and the iPhone wouldn’t have had nearly the amount of success that it did if it didn’t have their stores.  What a great marketing tool!

The pic was from peteryan.net (Thanks).

Inflates with Subway air (or any other air provided by the city) – super awesome.

Take little trip to the past with Orioto’s videogame remake images.  Above is a remake of Zelda (duh ;) .

Many thanks to Mikaël Aguirre (Orioto on deviantART) for these beautiful creations.  You are truly talented.

Well, what happens if instead of being satisfied with the answer you stay in the question?  What happens if you continue to ask why?  Eventually you get to the point where you really start to wonder: “Why do we do things this way?”

That’s the type of question that BMW GINA has been asking of the manufacturing of cars.  GINA is Geometry in N-Adaptations.  “GINA is about … thinking flexible.”  Take a look at the video:
