Elastick: A Universal Stand for Tablets Etc. for the Music Industry
By Rain Noe - Aug 16, 2011
I've chosen not to embed the video because while the concept is sound, the video is poorly produced. Although this product is aimed at those who work with sound, the voice quality of the video is paradoxically poor; compounding the problem, annoying club music has been mixed into the video at a dominating volume that makes the narration nearly inaudible. Here's to hoping these guys can get a better video up that gives their product a proper chance.

Why Would-Be Designers Can't Stop Playing the Mac Guessing Game
Once again it's time for every Mac fanboy's favorite pastime: The Future Apple Product Rendering Speculation Game.
