Successful product design manages to reveal useful functionality beyond its appealing form. No matter how excellent a design looks like, most customers aren’t likely to spend money on something they won’t be able to use. On the other hand, most people are likely to buy something useful despite the design it has.

学生とIT業界トップの公開対談で胸を衝かれたこと---IT産業を呪縛する“変われない日本”：ITpro
by kuroyagi
"西垣氏はNECの社長時代，元会長の関本忠弘氏と激しく対立しながら，NECホームエレクトロニクスの解散，本社ビルの売却，米子会社パッカードベルNECの撤退などドラスティックな改革を断行した経営者である。およそ調整型のトップではない。その言葉もオブラートに包むということのない直裁的なものだ。企業として，必要としている人材を本音で表現した発言なのだろう。誤解や幻想は解いておいたほうが学生にとっても企業にとっても幸せだ。"

when kids (and parents) need to release
One thing that really caught my eye this past weekend was the PUNCH'N'CUDDLE. It comes in two sizes : big and small. It's a cross between a bean bag and punching bag. The look is really nice and the concept is even better. Watch the video below to get the full picture!
IVY - manipulability & customization
by oqdbpo
The product we have developed is based on the concept of the green banana and is called IVY. IVY is an external hard disk which shows the content of the hard disk on its skin. When no data is stored on IVY, its skin will remain blank. When you purchase IVY, it appears to be a normal hard disk, but when you start using it by storing data, it will alter its skin visualising the content of the hard disk, using an OLED screen. The representation of the data is abstract and personal. Over time, the content of the hard disk will change and the representation of the data will change along with this. The visualisation of the data is based on Sequoia View.IVY is customization, as its appearance depends completely on your personal data. IVY also shows that manipulability is never ending as it keeps adapting itself over time. The ideal state of IVY is not yet at the beginning of use but will evolve over time.
