V.O.B. - Interior Design: Ubico Studio Stools and Tables Made of Recycled Pieces of Waste Wood

If you’re looking for a side table or stool with some edge, then the Stump just might be just the piece to show off your inherent flair for funkified style. Ubico Studio sources discarded hardwood pieces from carpenter studios surrounding their factory and transforms the smallest bits of scrap wood into sustainable, sturdy, and decorative tables for the home.

Ubico’s “Stump Series” was inspired by the sheer amount of wood that was being thrown to waste by their neighbors. Being the frugal and eco-minded designers that they are, Ubico quickly realized that they could save a lot of money if they could figure out a way to salvage this wood. What they developed was a series of stools and tables that showcase the various colors and grains of the wood through a carefully-assembled matrix that is both beautiful and eco-friendly. Several pieces in the series also feature a recycled steel band embedded around the side, which adds a bit of industrial flair.

Both eco-friendly and socially-conscious, Ubico employs individuals from work programs focused on helping the disabled develop real-world skills.

V.O.B. - Music: Lauryn Hill – Repercussions

There are not too many artists that seem to grasp the universal sense of musicality. But once they appear the music world is blessed with intriguingly timeless art. Lauryn Hill is such an example. Her contribution to the legendary Fugees-crew as well as her outstanding solo offering The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill undermine this notion. Unfortunately we have been waiting for more than a decade for new material from Ms. Hill. Hence, it is more than good news to hear a previously unreleased record from this exceptional musician as it is the case with the freshly emerged “Repercussions” which you can find below. No official word on the origin of this track but we will keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy!

V.O.B. - Technology: The New iMac

I definetly want to get one of these...The performance on the new iMac's are so much better than before it will definetly be a great addition in my house.

Source = Apple...

Faster processors.

New processor architecture.

Now all iMac models come standard with Intel Core processors built on a new architecture. Based on Intel’s 32-nanometer process technology, these processors set new benchmarks for iMac performance.

Quad-core power.

The available quad-core Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor in the 27-inch iMac puts four processing cores on one die, so data doesn’t have to travel far to get from core to core.

Turbo Boost.

Many iMac models now benefit from Turbo Boost technology built into the Intel Core series processors. If you’re using a processor-intensive application such as Aperture 3 or Final Cut Pro that benefits from extra performance, Turbo Boost dynamically increases the speed of available cores.

Faster graphics.

Discrete graphics for everyone.

Every iMac includes powerful discrete graphics, meaning the graphics processor is separate from the CPU. So whether you’re an amateur filmmaker or an avid gamer, iMac gives you faster, smoother, crisper graphics no matter which model you choose.

Start with advanced graphics.

The 21.5-inch iMac offers fast graphics performance with either the ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB of dedicated memory or the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB of memory. Which one is right for you? The greater the memory, the faster the performance for graphics-intensive applications such as games and video editors.

Step up to even faster graphics.

When you step up to the 27-inch iMac, you can choose the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB of memory. Or enjoy amazing performance with the ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. You’ll notice the speed boost every time you run your favorite 3D applications and games.
