Seb Lester is a United Kingdom-based illustrator, calligrapher, typeface designer and an overall artist. He also wildly impressed us with his skills in recreating famous logos using just ink and paper. It’s either the most amazing video today or the most infuriating because I’m in complete awe and jealously (the Adidas one threw me in for the biggest loop… literally).

Meerkat has launched a developer platform and APIs to assist third-party developers in building tools for the independent streaming video service.

Despite all the supposed shortcomings of the Apple Watch, one thing becomes crystal clear when you use one for a few days; it is going to sell like crazy. Not just well, but insanely well. So far, almost every person I met who played with it for awhile converted from cynical to excited within minutes. It’s very similar to the first iPhone. Many disliked and dismissed it. But then you would hand someone one, they would start playing with it, and then you would see the expression on their faces change into childlike excitement. And then they got one. So why is…

Ad injectors – unwanted software that insert new ads or replace the ones already there – have plagued the internet for many a year, but Google wants to show us just how pervasive they are. Today the company released details from a study performed in a partnership with UC Berkley and Santa Barbara that revealed some pretty incriminating numbers. According to Google, as many as 5.5 percent of unique IP addresses (amount to “millions of users”) visiting Google pages included injected ads.
