When Jurassic Park first hit screens it was marvelled at for being a piece of cinematic excellence conducive of realism. Now, Spielberg has real-life competition.

Some really interesting videos of when Steve Jobs took stage this week at D8 to answer questions from the Wall Street Journal and from the floor. Speaking about Flash Steve explains that when they took the decision to not include Flash on the iPhone OS when launching the iPhone, they spoke with Adobe, expressed their concerns about its speed and power consumption and asked Adobe to come back to them when they had a better product, they never did. He then goes on to say that whilst some users were disappointed nobody made too much of a fuss with the iPhone. When the iPad launched, Adobe were publicly outspoken about the exclusion of Flash from the iPad, regardless of the fact that they had not improved their mobile platform. In response, Steve published “Thoughts on Flash”. Here he mentions that Apple just got sick of Adobe trash talking their products even though they had failed to bring anything new to the table. The second video, after the break, aptly demonstrates just how passionate Jobs is about their products and is a real glimpse into why Apple takes some of the restrictive steps it does.

Oh and by the way, since launch, Apple has sold an iPad every 3 seconds! Read more…

Whatever you have sported as a costume, to whatever event, at whatever age is nothing compared to what this guy created by hand. Your fancy dress game is weak, WEAK!

It’s official (sort of), Mac and PC are no more. The five year relationship between the try-hard PC and the supportive yet tastefully condescending Mac have been removed from the Apple site and replaced with an altogether more dry advertising campaign explaining why you’ll love a mac. Paying homage to the iconic campaign the OneMoreThingPodcast has put together a brilliant montage of many of the best 30 second gems. Fair well PC (John Hodgman) and Mac (Justin Long) we knew you but for too short a time.

Robotics is cool, so are the plethora of robots that the world’s leading scientists, engineers and designers have created to date. Until today, this little beauty had slipped through my net. This is the most impressive demonstration of what a robot is capable of that I personally have ever seen. Watch LittleDog learn it’s way across multiple complicated terrains with eerily organic movement. Bring on the true RoboDogs!
