Not sure how long Dell has been running this program (I’m not a PC) but DellSwarm.com is probably one of the smartest online commerce ventures I’ve seen in a while.
By leveraging the power of bulk-savings and impulse buying, Dell offers the promise of lower prices based on how many committed buyers there are for a [...]
I’ve been meaning to post about Theory since I came back from my trip to New York earlier this month. Established in New York in 1997, Theory set out to produce comfortable, minimal clothing for women. Their mens line launched in 1999 and their accessories line followed a few years later.
I recently went down New York City for the Labour Day long weekend. I had no reason to go other than to visit a friend who lives there and some visiting from California. I hadn’t been to New York for a vacation for a while so this was a good chance for me to get reacquainted with [...]

The illustrations here are spot-on when you compare them to the originals.
Everyone loves an urban village but few cities know quite how to get the mix of retail, services and residents right. Monocle has taken inspiration from its favourite neighbourhoods to engineer the perfect precinct.
Starting in May you can purchase music from EMI without any DRM from iTunes. The content will be at a higher-quality and a higher price point ($1.29 vs $0.99). If EMI can garner enough sales, which I think they will, I’m sure the other major labels will follow. (thx Kottke!)
Awww yea! MUJI is coming to America! (And hopefully Canada?)
H&M launches it’s new line, Collection of Style. H&M, in my opinion, is the JetBlue of the fashion industry, offering low-cost, high-fashion clothing.
