Last week we highlighted a post from TechCrunch that foreshadowed a Facebook redesign being rolled out following their keynote. Well, the new design didn’t happen. Instead, Facebook talked about “lockdown” — their sudo code word for long hours — and how new features and a redesign would be slowly launched over the coming weeks and months. Apparently their “weeks to months” means “a few days”. I fired up my Facebook a...
For skateboarding enthusiasts, it’s all fun and games — until the smooth pavement ends that is. The very nature of the sport requires a well maintained, or at least decently smooth surface. When things get bumpy, rocky, sandy, etc., it becomes less fun and more “chore” as you have to carry your board. But the “Vertrax” (designed by Bryson Lovett) aims to change all of that.

But Steve Jobs liked the design of it so much, “they pushed on”. But just like clockwork, Apple PR is hot on the heels of such reports claiming they’re not true, far from it even.
