Great stuff, and hopefully a harbinger for the future of China’s creative services industry.

Have you ever tried to open up to 300 tabs in your browser?

I have a habit of opening up tons of tabs in my browser (well, not 300, probably 20-30 tabs), because I always want to come back to websites that I have not finished reading.. However, this habit always crashes or slows down my computer.

Google Japan shows how fast and light Chrome is by Tab Play Project. The idea was to “Play” a stop motion animation with 300 paintings using Chrome.

So, how to do this? It’s simple, visit Tab Play Project, open all the 300 paintings in Chrome then press Ctrl + Tab (switch between tabs) or Ctrl+ W (close tabs) to “Play” the animation!

Google Chrome is light and stable enough to open up to 300 tabs, however they do have minimum requirements of the computer, so please check before you start playing with it! :P

OS Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 64bit 、Mac OS X 10.6.4、Fedora 14 / Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo or above

Retro-futuristic mice


What you’re looking at is a mouse, designed in what I might call a retro-futuristic (I suppose that’s similar to steampunk) style.

The question now is, would you pay HK$1,400.00 for a redesigned, remanufactured Logitech?

Replicating the most inherent human morning routine of popping the toast for breakfast, this concept captures the essence and is bound to make mornings more pleasant for gadget-freaks like us!

How to use Day Maker

  • Set your phone alarm
  • Insert phone into one of Day Maker’s cradles and push down to charge and set unit
  • When the phone alarm goes off, the spring-loaded cradle will ‘pop’ the phone up
  • Either remove the phone from Day Maker, or activate sleep by pushing the phone back down
  • Repeat until ready
