Today is Canada day. We salute all canadians around the world especially our own Mark McKay who’s in Canda right now and will be there for a month. We’ll sure miss him.

So, to commemorate such a grandiose day here is our favorite canadian hymn ‘Canadian, please’ by Gunnarolla. To celebrate, people have been remixing the original video.

This is the kind of stuff Mark tells you to justify his totally unacceptable levels of coffee consumption:

Alicia Chen did the Chinese (Mandarin) translation of Planetaki and now it’s available for you to use.  You can switch languages from the “preferences” link on the top right-hand of your planet. FYI: Planetaki is also available in Spanish, English, French, Italian, Galician and Romanian.

Here’s the announcement in video. Enjoy (especially after 32s).

Thank you Alicia :)

This picture I took yesterday at a magazine in Barcelona symbolizes all the pain and suffering Windows users have to cope with…

Today we played around with Google Insights. We started out by searching ‘sex‘ (of course) and discover that Vietnam and Eritrea are the countries most obsessed about it. ‘Free sex’ is the most sex-related search, and here we stopped our investigation.

We went on searching for terms that make a real impact in our personal lives: zombies vs vampires, unicycle vs spacecraft, palin vs obama, etc. We wrapped it up with a name search, and finally… Maria wins! (thanks to Brazil, wtf).

We end up searching war vs love, and we find out our next project, Okamore, will be successful :)

Just like Stalin used to remove people from pictures and pretend that they never existed, some guys do the oposite with Google (it’s just an analogy, don’t take me wrong) as if it always existed:

We could go for hours on how well designed are paper towels but this is way more effective ;)

I still doubt wether I should categorise this under interaction design or humor.

Looks like there is a secret sort of constellatory message inside Apple Snow Leopard:
