Nike SB

This has been doing the rounds on several blogs over the last week or so, and for good reason. For a brand that until now I’d not really associated with skateboarding they certainly know how to shoot a good commercial.

10 Best Head-Scratching Stories, Explained

Illustration: Gluekit,Donnie Darko and Mulholland Drive: Kobal Collection; Madonna, Ziggy and 2001: Everett Collection; Jimmy Corrigan: Chris Ware

Some of the most head-scratching stories, explained

2001: A Space Odyssey

Monoliths instigate evolutionary leaps forward—monkey to human, computer to AI, human to hippie-dippy starchild.

The Wall

Pink's father dies. His teachers abuse him. His mom smothers him. His wife leaves him. He's paranoid and isolated. Fame is no respite.

Ulysses

Two drunkards meander around Dublin like Odysseus in the Aegean. Bloom's wife is cheating on him. Everyone poops.

Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth

Jimmy relives his granddad's life. He finally meets his father, who then dies. Superman can't save him.

Blade Runner

Deckard is a replicant but doesn't know it. Gaff knows but doesn't retire Deckard. Even fake memories make us human.

Ziggy Stardust

Earth will be destroyed in five years. Ziggy is a Martian rock star who sings the news. He prophesizes the coming of a starman. Starman bad.

Mulholland Drive

The first two-thirds are a masturbatory fantasy after Diane orders a hit on Camilla (the characters from the last one-third) and shoots herself.

Infinite Jest

Terrorists are chasing the world's most entertaining movie. Addiction—to drugs, entertainment, tennis, whatever—is a bitch.

Like a Prayer

White dudes attack woman. Black man jailed. Witness Madonna prays to black Jesus and dreams he lives. She snitches. Prisoner freed.

Donnie Darko

Parallel universe opens. Its pending collapse threatens our own. Donnie sacrifices himself to save us.

Company Logos and their Meanings

Ever wondered what company logos mean and whats the significance behind them? Wonder no more!
You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.

Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid database work. All their work is highly quantitative and relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it.
People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and the light squares as 0's. Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.
Kinda like the surreal green screen of The Matrix, they want us to read stuff in binary
Am not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo.
Yeah, I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company.

Paul Rand (who designed the iconic IBM logo in 1972) designed this 'eye bee M' logo in 1981. I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo, unlike certain other companies who do not like the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions

The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular.

The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention.

This was a logo created for a puzzle game called Cluenatic. This game involves unravelling four clues. The logo has the letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze. and from a distance, the logo looks like a key

This logo is too good. For the name Eight, they have used a font in which each letter is a minor adaptation of the number 8.

REDS v/s RED DEVILS

The AD on ESPN was saying the REDS v/s RED DEVILS and i made a very strong mental note regarding this fixture.I was bang on... on my bean bag... but i was disappointed to see a message on the screen- basically saying" This cable operator has huge amount to pay" so as to justify the placement of the blue color rectangle in the centre of the screen.

I had no other option but to view the match with the grains and box playing their own game.
But before this- when ever i see MAN UTD match i all remember how i got hoooked to them when i say them way back in 90's in their historic match with Bayren Munich. down by 2 goals in last minute and the injury team they scored 3 goals to win some championship... and lo i am UTD fan.

Okeee lets get back to this match Manchester United back to the match which they are playing at the Liverpool Ground.But i was disappointed to see Man Utd without their usual sharpness. But somehow they were fortunate in their Premiership title race after Sir Alex's 10-men snatched a dramatic 1-0 win at Liverpool on Saturday.

United were under pressure for long spells of the second half at Anfield and were clinging on for a point after Paul Scholes was sent off with eight minutes remaining for aiming a punch at Xabi Alonso. (surprisingly it was the devils first RED card) But John O’Shea fired home from close range in the 90th minute after Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina spilled Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick.

United, who won at Fulham last week thanks to a yet another "late" Ronaldo goal, the whole match can be best put this way- THE worst punch came from Paul Scholes, the sucker punch was thrown by John O'Shea and the knock-out punch landed squarely on Jose Mourinho's over-active jaw. And now they are 12 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea (if the Chelsea looses in their fixtures) and Ferguson has no doubts that his team are getting the rub of the green at the right time. As Sir Alex said "Without question this is a massive result for us & We were very lucky today. Liverpool upset our rhythm a bit and we had a lot of narrowescapes. The Red Devils will be tested as Scholes will now serve a three-match ban and England striker Wayne Rooney could be sidelined with a knee injury suffered at Anfield.
