1. does anyone know the book at around 17:44? it's from someone 'Charles Revelle' or so. searched google for quite a while but couldn't find the book 'On Things You Can't See'.
2. Such ego!
3. Ross Lovergrove has good concepts but very pretentious his actual products are quite bad he showed other people's designs throughout the presentation
4. he's in my blog vickysz.tumblr
5. Copying forms of nature without regard for WHY it is that way is kind of wrong. In the beginning he disses blobs or whatever but getting a small, organic whatever and copying it's form at a larger scale is also superficial. Those chairs look so wrong just because nature uses the process that he mimics at a much smaller scale. I liked the "growing" idea but nature bases it's "growth" on complex algorithms and solutions to problems. Extruding or stretching legs out of a metal plate is not the same

7. He was right about Sony. Just because he comes off as a jerk doesn't mean he's wrong.

11. @tillo2008 Isn't it strange and paradoxical that if life is a cold miracle, sentience of an evolutionary adaptation: psychology a consequence of biology, biology a consequence of chemistry, chemistry a consequence of physics; a blind and dastardly chain of entirely coincidental and parasitic ectropy that somehow gave us the consciousness which gave us creativity. But if consciousness is just an Epiphenomenalism, how come is that we can comprehend the Universe but Universe cant comprehend us?
12. Did he just learn the word polymer before this "talk"?
13. @dinogrower or until a soccer mom in a minivan takes you out. I'd love to ride but there's way too many shitty drivers out there.
14. FORGET THAT CAR!!!!!!!! OMG you will never see me in that bulb of a car
15. @valu777 Check out Godwin's Law. It basically states that as arguments drag on in internet discussions, one person, in desperation, will compare their opponent to Hitler somehow, thereby exposing the impotence of their argument and, consequently, losing the argument. It only took you two comments :D
16. @valu777 "Swearing is a really important part of one's life and it would be impossible to imagine going through life without swearing and without enoying swearing. There used to be mad, silly, prissy people who would say swearing is a sign of a poor vocabulary as such; utter nonsense! The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies!" - Stephen Fry
17. He keeps saying he doesn't want to seem pretentious yet he compares himself to Leonardo Da Vinci and then goes on to call the way he works 'a Godly way of working'. What a cunt.
18. seems unoriginal... artneuvo and what not
19. he is God!
