Today Paypal launched an app in the UK, which allows shoppers to use their smartphones to pay for goods at four major high street retail stores: Coast, Oasis,
Warehouse, and Karen Millen.
The user then enters a pin number, the app the generates a unique
barcode and transaction number, that the cashier scans to take
payment.
Refunds and discounts are all managed via the app, and there's
detailed transaction history sorted by store.
Interesting idea, I'm skeptical about the uptake on this though.
Nokia have signed a 4 month product placement Hollyoaks. Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 handsets will be used some characters and further
integrated into storylines. Also, prominent positioning of Lumia posters in the backgrounds. Interesting concept of developing two off-screen characters and
tweet as their on-screen Hollyoaks characters to promote Nokia Lumia.
Reading .net article '20 leading web designers' desks'' has left me a little cold. Sparse desks with iMacs and tablets lined-up. You don't have to have trolls and family photos, but kids, have a little personality.
Here is my work desk - it's rather different. It's messy and non-linear. But that's the way I like it. So, what's your desk really like?
Looks like Banksy has got his spray cans out the cupboard. This work, hailed to be a real Banksy, sprung up on the side of Poundland on Wood Green High Road in north London. It includes real Britannia bunting (how long before this finds it's way to Ebay)
I've been a fan of Stephen Walter after seeing his book cover design for Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. He's now created a rather amazing work of art of subterranean London; mapping buried rivers, Tube lines, bunkers, sewers, government tunnels and other
hypogeal secrets of London. He’s also included mysterious and
underworld elements, such as unsolved murders, ley lines and pagan
burial sites.

Amazing installation in Japan; Panasonic floods the Sumida River with 100,00 LEDs as part of the Tokyo Hotaru Festival.
And don;t worry about pollution, the orbs were caught downstream by giant nets.
Every fancied yourself as a bit of a grafitti artist, but too scared to take on the law. Well, grab yourself this doodle book and be a master of NYC graff-art. Other cities published soon!
I like things in lines. So does artist Ursus Wehrli. His book, The Art of Clean Up the Swiss has taken everyday scenes and rearranged into organised rows. (via Swissmiss)
