Apple Showcases…Icons

While everyone and their dog is aware of the introduction of iPhone 3GS (I'm fairly sure the S stands for Steve… as in "Hang on, I'm getting a call on my Steve.") and that about 50 bazillion apps exist for Apples multi-touch platforms, my attention was caught by the way they have chosen to display this fact. Hooking up a dozen 30-Inch Cinema displays (Ah, God bless… the days when Apple monitors were the matte standard) they are displaying 10000 or so of those icons in what must be a very impressive showcase… See video for details!

The Books of Faragh Vol. 3: Of March 2020

The May Issue is available at Modern Graphics in Oranienstr., Berlin. It's all about lines. Below: The April Issue of the Book of Faragh. The comic I chose for this month was "L'Arabe du Futur 2 (1984—1985)" by Riad Sattouf.
