...Right now, most people outside of San Francisco only know two things about Gavin Newson: he supports same-sex marriage and he cheated [with] his best friend's wife. He can fix that, but if he doesn't do it quick, he's going to become a punch line." - Dan Schnur, a Republican consultant, on whether Newsom has a shot at higher office, Time.com...
Kangaroo Route. Qantas is now flying its A380s from Sydney to London three times a week. They're 10% more fuel efficient than other jumbo jets and loaded with wi-fi, quieter engines and 17-in. monitors in the Marc Newson-designed first-class cabin.

The biomorphic design, with receding perforations that give the illusion of moving through space, heralds the relaunch of the Ikepod watch brand, which also includes redesigns of the Hemipode and Megapode watches...
...object or a building or a teapot can evoke in an individual (in today's market that feeling, ideally, is desire). Think of the stylish plasticity of the iPod, or the silly humor of Michael Graves' now famous Alessi teakettle, or the nostalgia of a surfboard-shaped Marc Newson aluminum table. Great design is both astonishing and pedestrian. It can be shockingly fashionable and downright useful. These days, design touches almost every part of our lives, thanks to mass-market manufacturers and retailers...
