From the designer of the Paint Or Die But Love Me table, John Nouanesing, comes a new concept in his collection. Fenêtres 3.1, a real window complete with “code” shades, is not on the horizon for production yet, as far as we can tell.
But for now, his concept illustration stands for the connection that we all embrace here at Unplggd: Technology and home decor does not have to be mutually exclusive. \

Digital Daily notes that Apple’s market capitalization at $159.37 billion is now worth more than Google’s which is at $157.56 billion. Apple’s market cap first exceeded $100 billion in May of 2007. Apple was included into the S&P 100 index at that time. For interest, MacDailyNews compiled a list of the market values of other notable companies:
- Microsoft (MSFT) - $255,648,204,000
- IBM (IBM) - $169,964,678,000
- Apple (AAPL) - $157,012,662,240
- Google (GOOG) - $156,392,862,560
- Cisco (CSCO) - $142,125,692,160
- Intel (INTC) - $135,658,860,000
- Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) - $111,866,423,760
- Nokia (NOK) - $97,746,699,520
- Research In Motion (RIMM) - $71,143,935,000
- Disney (DIS) - $59,257,501,500
- Dell (DELL) - $50,483,256,060
The practical significance of this ranking of market cap is little, but does always revive a famous comment by Michael Dell in 1997 when asked about what he would do to fix the then money-losing Apple:
“What would I do? I’d shut [Apple] down and give the money back to the shareholders,” Michael Dell said before a crowd of several thousand IT executives.
Design goodness hunters Dezeen got this pictures of the 1,174-feet-high Sinosteel International Plaza in Tinajin, China, designed by architects MAD—or just mad architects. The external white honeycomb structure, with huge hexagonal windows that vary sightly in size, is not just for the pretty looks: it will sustain the whole building without the need for any internal structure. And make it look like a huge wasp nest to me.
From the inside, however, each room looks like a space station.
Large commercial operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, will no longer exist within five to ten years, according to a senior VMware executive. Instead there will only be very thin open source operating systems supporting virtual appliances.
According to Paul Harapin, managing director for Australia and New Zealand at VMware, Windows and other large operating systems are already starting to be replaced by virtual appliances running on thin layers of Linux.
"When you go to Cisco and say you want a router and a firewall, they provide you with an appliance," says Harapin.
"Inside that appliance is probably a bootstrapped Linux operating system that they manage themselves, there’s memory and all sorts of devices. If something goes wrong with that appliance, you don’t open up the router and try to determine whether it’s an OS problem or a memory problem, you simply call Cisco and tell them that’s there’s a problem with your appliance."
Paul Harapin claims that this scenario is the forerunner of what is to come in the computing environment.
"What that means is they don’t need you to buy a large commercial operating system from Microsoft or anybody else," he says.
"They use their own open source OS, a very thin layer of operating system. They take out all the unnecessary components that are in a large commercial OS because they’re customising the OS to optimise the use of their applications. They essentially package that up as an appliance, a running server or a running application, and they send it to you. If you’re running a VMware infrastructure, you just drop that on and there’s your server up and running.
"If there’s a problem, there’s no operating system that you need to worry about because you simply call the software (application) vendor up, tell them there’s a problem with their VM, and they’ll snapshot the VM, patch it and send it back to you. So it’s an appliance but it just has no hardware around it."
