+Castro, the first innovation house in Latin America, presented its first work for its client Inprotur (Instituto de Promoción Turística de Argentina) along with the Argentine Creative Circle, during Cannes Lions Festival which will be replicated in other European and Asian cities. Presenting an innovative experience that melds cutting edge technology and art, +Castro went to the streets of Cannes with the goal of attracting production houses to shoot in Argentina showing them that the world, and any shooting location, is within just one country. This event was made possible thanks to Graffiti Roller Painting, ground breaking technology, in the hands of the renowned graffiti artist NERF, who offered an amazing live audiovisual experience. Graffiti Roller Painting equipment and software was developed by +Castro along with Sake and Estado Lateral Media Lab, which have been working over the last years developing this kind of technology. +Castro selected NERF to test and work with this technology because of his worldwide experience. "This is the first stage of this experience. We are now working to further develop this technology which will be seen in future events in other cities of the world, with the objective of promoting Argentina as a great tourist destination", said Nicolás Pimentel, Director of Innovation at +Castro.

Google Tech Talk April 8, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by W. David Schwaderer. Innovation is essential for all progress and competitive survival. It provides a democratic vehicle for individuals and upstarts to challenge and neutralize powerful incumbents. Yet, because change accompanies innovation, it is a double-edged sword. This presentation examines the historical reception transformative scientific breakthroughs initially received before widespread adoption. By example, it teaches principles that can help ensure change agents personally, and their organizations, are on the delivering side of innovation's sharp edge. W. David Schwaderer has a Masters Degree in Applied Mathematics from the California Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of Southern California. He has worked at IBM, EDS, Adaptec, Symantec, and Silicon Valley startups. He has authored six commercial software programs for a variety of machine architectures using several different languages, dozens of articles, and ten technical books that explain complex technology in approachable ways. David's soon-to-be-published 11th book follows over 10 years of research and is titled "Innovation Survival - Concept, Courage, Chance, and Change".

The Vortex: The Power of Gravity Have you ever wondered how rivers cleanse themselves? Whenever there is too much dirt in the water, somehow it turns clean downstream. The secret: water never moves in a straight line, water swirls. This movement, known as the vortex, presses air out of water, and how the same can squeeze air back into the water. If there is no air in the water, then there is no dissolved oxygen. Then bacteria cannot survive. However when air is abundant, then bacteria flourish. The continuous shift from full to poor in air leads to the self-cleansing of water. The only source of energy to make this work is gravity. Swedish engineer Curt Hallberg imagined a mathematical model underpinning this swirling movement and his colleague Morten Oveson moulded this into a physical structure that creates a vortex. WATRECO their start-up company in Sweden makes machines that generate a vortex to freeze water faster and cheaper, to replace chemicals that kill bacteria and to permit a higher advertising revenue since crystal clear ice makes that does not crack, maintaining publicity visible all the time.

Eric Schmidt speaks at a forum jointly hosted by Google and the Pittsburgh Technology Council on September 23, 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA.
In this edition of Innovation at Work, we're looking at that bubbling cauldron of ideas which is the Bell Labs. As Alcatel-Lucent's research arm with branches in India, China and Europe, Bell Labs attracts some of the brightest scientific talent from all over the world. They come here to exercise their passion for top-level technological research and to see the fruit of that work carried through into real-life products.
To help people turn their ideas into new products or services, Alcatel-Lucent created the Entrepreneurial Boot Camp in Belgium in the spring of 2006. It is an intensive, venture-based program designed to provide idea owners and their teams with enough of a business foundation to build a go-to-market plan for their idea. The "Defi Entreprendre" then opened in France in June 2008. Watch Season 2 in this video!
This was my 8th grade project that I had to do for a person in history. This is my tribute to all of Steve Jobs work :) Hope you enjoy.
The media needs to get off of "Thriller's" junk because THIS is MJ's best in my opinion. And MJ IS the best, so "Smooth Criminal" = best music video ever made. The choreography, the setting, the angles, the synchronization--FLAWLESS. Plus, the song itself, and its beat is absolutely killer, too. I love how MJ is actually a BETTER dancer than his backup dancers (who are amazing as well). Music videos nowadays with all their CGI effects and whatnot can NEVER beat what simple talent, innovation, and hard work can do. RIP Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer that ever was and will be. (Okay, so it's not technically the OFFICIAL short version of the video. Basically, I'd been searching for a long time for a higher quality of the official radio edit version of the music video, but I never found one, so I made this with the HQ version of the Moonwalker version and HQ remastered audio. I switched up some parts to include more of MJ's dancing.)
