Search boxes that pop up as a layer

Posted by Chris Tingom on January 19, 2004 at 10:44 pm.

I’ve seen this technique before on the old US West web site however since then I’ve seen it only once or twice (and it’s been over two years).

Basically it works like this. Go to the ProjectCMS Forum and click on the Search button and you’ll see the technique. A layer pops up instead of taking you to a new page. Cool.

Reporting from CES

Posted by Chris Tingom on January 10, 2004 at 11:05 pm.

Hi people, we’re at the CES show in Las Vegas reporting (Ben is here and me, Chris). We’ve seen tons of great new technologies from Panasonic, Canon, Microsoft, (Apple isn’t here??), Toshiba, Intel, Motorola, and really every single technology company…

Today I was at the Motorola booth and saw the great Motorola Broadband site, and I wanted to post it for everyone to see. What did I like? The neat drop-down menu effect showing products (top left corner of screen). Then if you go to a sub page check out the “product comparison” section with an awesome CSS effect on-click.

monochrom’s attempt to evaluate the actual power of brands by making Austrian people draw a total of twelve logos (nine international, three typically European) from memory, 25 people per brand. Salut, share of mind!

The limits of innovation, a look at Apple

Posted by Chris Tingom on at 12:04 am.

For the longest time I’ve been meaning to tear this article out of Fast Company and bring it into the office. Now I can just post a link to it. If He’s So Smart…Steve Jobs, Apple, and the Limits of Innovationis a fascinating article about Apple Computer and about how for the longest time they’ve been innovating yet never truly making a huge profit. Highly recommended.
