The last one reminds me of The Downward Spiral for some reason.
A nit-picky thing. None of the Laptops are designed by (top ten designer) Paul Frank. The design was done by Paul Frank Industries, the company which Paul Frank founded and which later kicked him out, kept his IP and now does not allow him to do work under his own name, since they claim to own it. In other words, corporate scumbags. Paul Frank (Industries) is not your friend.
And I bet they didn't pay Paul, either. And I bet Paul didn't understand the contract he and his legal team hammered out for months.
Oh, wait.
And that makes the article accurate in saying that the laptop was designed by designer Paul Frank how?
Oh right.
I'm not defending him - he made some very bad decisions, seems like a jerk, and I am sick of that damned monkey. But he didn't have anything to do with designing the laptop,and it's inaccurate to say he did. Change the article to read Paul Frank Industries and suddenly it's factual. Hence, the nit-picking.
Excellent article on the whole Paul Frank story here: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2006/09/paulfrank200609
Well HP just lost a client.
That have anything to do with the face wrapping with the word "peace" below it?
two clients....all really ugly
LOL! These are the most hideous and ridiculous laptops I've ever seen! HP needs help!
It looks like Apple Bottom had a problem attaching the paper mache ass to the back of the LCD. It's a shame really.
I actually love the Obey laptop design.
It gets two scoops of raisins from me.
wow, those look awful.
yeah, the shepard farley graphic is super sick... www.obeygiant.com
1) VERY cute I love it
2) WTF? Is that floam? Is it Dippin' Dots? Can I eat it?
3) Also pretty cute. Juicy Couture-ish.
4) Cool looking but not something I'd carry around.
5) Bitchin and pop art-ish. I'd buy it. Tied with number 1 for my favorite.
6) Kinda cute. I'm not a fan of the monkey...
7) Meh.
8) Meh again.
9) I didn't know Pocahontas donated her laptop for this event...
What was that you were saying? hp laptops aren't ugly enough? one sec, we'll hire some "designers" to fix that...
May I comment that you are mistaking "decoration" for Design?
I am sorry, but it's important to me that the difference is understood.
Espacially in a Blog that is so popular as yours.
Oh, stupid party pooper, that I am.
