Started by three college buddies Drew Deters, Jay Hartington, and Joe Anto, the watch fits the lifestyle of those who prefer the active outdoors as well as seasoned Manhattanites. For vendors wishing to carry them, they will also donate a number of watches to that retailer’s charity of choice. As Jay says, “With our watch, checking the time becomes a reminder to lighten up, have some fun, and focus on what’s truly important.” And did we mention they’re only $20 each? We’ll take two, please! — via refinery 29

The video for ‘My Turn’ by Basement Jaxx directed by Tomek Ducki and featuring Dev ‘Lightspeed Champion’ Hynes – released on Dec 14th 2009. Taken from the album Scars.

Apple did more than scale down the Lisa. To the contrary, the Macintosh team came up with so many innovations that Apple decided to re-design the Lisa so it too can run Macintosh software. Apple has also introduced three new higher performance Lisa computers with prices starting at $3,495. The Lisa sold for about $10,000 when it was made available last spring.


The main advantage of the Macintosh is that it’s very easy to learn and use. Apple claims that novices can learn to use the Mac in as little as 30 minutes. The company is banking on the machine’s simplicity and modest price to attract “millions” of users over the next few years.


The system comes in three pieces. The main unit houses the 9 inch screen, a built-in disk drive and all the machine’s circuits and connectors. The separate keyboard is attached to the unit via what looks like a modular telephone cord. The mouse, too, has its own cord and connector.

The system is driven by a 32 bit Motorola 68000 central processing unit. It comes with 128K of Random Access Memory (RAM), 64K of Read Only Memory (ROM) and one 400K disk drive. The 32 bit CPU and the extensive ROM are largely responsibile for its impressive graphics capability. The machine will eventually be upgradable to 512K once the new breed of 256K RAM chips become commercially available. An optional second (external) disk drive is $495.


Instead of using the 5 1/4 inch floppy disks that the Apple II helped standardize, the Mac uses 3 1/2 inch mini-floppies. These disks come with a built-in protective cover, can fit in a shirt pocket, and are far less vulnerable to damage than standard floppies. Apple will also be using the 3 1/2 inch disks on its new Lisa series.
