Tech Meets Fashion – The Keybag

THE KEYBAG

The
designer handbag has long been a symbol of status and fashionably.
Each season a new style hits the catwalks, turning intelligent grown
women into wanton I’ll-do-anything-to-get-it and
I-don’t-care-what-it-costs strategists. But before you rush out to
Dior/Fendi/Burberry et al, check out the Key Bag, which comes
completely left of field. The ultimate in quirky techno-cool, the
keybag is made entirely out of computer keyboard keys. The bag was
invented by Portuguese industrial designer Jo Sabino and comes in black and white.

bubbles – Web sites as applications on your desktop

Bubbles » Free Site Specific Browser for Windows

Bubbles is an application platform, based on Browser technologies. It detaches Web Applications from the classic Browser and offers them with the familiar accessibility, capabilities and always-on nature of Desktop applications

features

The new Bubbles is, well, all new. We took
the time to rewrite it from the ground up. One of the main changes
moving forward is the new API and the new ease of extending the Bubbles
client with new features.

Lets take a few moments to to examine Site-Specific Browsers and Bubbles.

What’s a Site-Specific Bubbles (SSB) ?

These are a browser that is focused on a specific site, and adds
features to that site. Less is often more, why treat your email the
same way you treat driving directions to Aunt Betsy. SSBs also focus on
making your frequently used sites more accessible. In Windows this
means your SSBs are running all the time, are a click a way – on the
system tray and are generally more lightweight and, well, just yummy.
SSBs will usually use an existing browsing engine and extend it with
new features.

What do you mean by accessible?

We mean that your important stuff is there for you. Remember when
things like Email used to be desktop applications (Outlook,
Thunderbird), Bubbles tries to make the new web-based applications more
like that. More Info
