Of course, I meant Phillips.

But Samsung, this goes for you too! (Stern finger waggle)

Sigh.

Another non-iPod that looks nice, but whose manufacturer doesn't support using the thing with a Mac (at least according to the spec sheets.)

Not all Mac users are zealots, Samsung. Perhaps we'd buy this if you'd just let us.

That pump looks like it was designed by Massimo Vignelli.

Following up on my own comment above...

Interestingly, though, much of the point of the Warhol/Ono/Acconci pieces is their sheer length, which is pretty much the opposite of Flickr's 90 second limit.

I'd guess, Radioguy, that while you do get something after 90 seconds, that the full "getting" of the pieces I'm thinking about happens after you have passed through the point of feeling done with them.

Perhaps Flickr could have capped the total number of keyframes instead, making it possible to have very long videos -- but only if very little happened in them. :)

It makes me think about Andy Warhol's empire state building and Yoko Ono's full-frame butt movie.

A more confrontational form of the long photograph is Vito Acconci's awesomely unnerving early video work:

I look forward to this. My travel would be much more relaxing and calm...
