Will we enter the "Post-PC Age" in just another few years? I am not sure myself, but the laptop is still the best option for mobile computing right now (maybe it will be replaced by the ASU Eee Pad Transformer? I hope not!).

G!VOICE Recommend：   “Through this book, you could explore the inner world of Ms. Yayoi Kusama, an artist that even the fashion world (see footnote 1) is raving about. Her perseverance and paranoid side of growing up were delineated in details in this book.”   What is art? What makes an exceptional artist? There are no standard answers for these questions, however, after reading the book, ‘Infinity Web’, I could understand the insistence and simplicity of this artist for it is so moving: “I could only finish my own path…even when I encounter pain or grief in this ruin,

“Women put on make-up for their/others’ pleasure” has long been the basic element for cosmetic advertising. Make-up commercials often adopt the form to provide women with a sexy and beautiful imaginary space. However, this winter Christian Dior abandoned the popular big-cast-small-film form, ridding of sexy celebrities’ endorsement and going for a game that provokes the pure desire to “play doll-up make-up game.” New commercial, Dior Games evokes that little girl in every woman—the one that jump and scream to fight for older brother’s video games.    Therefore, the spirit of having fun has been re-summoned. Dior tactfully combined its
