A quick survey with former “Ivreans” revealed the extent to which this Italian graduate school, which was directed by Gillian Crampton Smith, produced a huge amount of entrepreneurial activity, with former staff and graduates now working throughout the design spectrum.

BARACK OBAMA is poised to win at least one election by a landslide. Voters in The Economist’s Global Electoral College favour the Democratic candidate over his Republican rival, John McCain, by a hefty margin of more than four to one.
Some 50,000 readers around the world are expected to have cast a vote by the close of polls at the end of the day on November 1st, with more than 40,000 votes going to Mr Obama. As candidates collect delegates according to the countries won (just as America’s electoral-college system allocates delegates by state), Mr Obama’s victory will be all the more comprehensive: he will claim over 9,000 delegates, compared with a paltry few hundred for Mr McCain.

Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.

Part document, part travelogue, Silver Jew follows the band Silver Jews during their time in Israel. They play two shows in Tel Aviv and spend a profoundly moving afternoon in Jerusalem. It reveals the band’s leader David Berman as a man between two worlds making a pilgrimage to a place that holds profound meaning for the Jewish people. Although the band had been releasing music since 1992, the Silver Jews had never played a live show until their 2006 world tour. This film captures Berman’s reluctant musical genius and his special relation to Judaism itself, and shows how he eventually finds an acceptable identity as a Silver Jew.

When you are introduced to a group of white people, it’s a good idea to befriend the girl with the bangs. She’s probably the most popular.

“Tom had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain”. (Mark Twain)

“She’s here on Blue Ant’s ticket. Relatively tiny in terms of permanent staff, globally distributed, more post-geographic than multinational, the agency has from the beginning billed itself as a high-speed, low-drag life-form in an advertising ecology of lumbering herbivores. Or perhaps as some non-carbon based life-form, entirely sprung from the smooth and ironic brow of its founder, Hubertus Bigend, a nominal Belgian who looks like Tom Cruise on a diet of virgins’ blood and truffled chocolates.”
