Nope. I’ve still not eaten at a Chipotle. But the more I read about their business, the more interesting they seem.
Cooking this way is slow, but extremely precise. A piece of meat held in a 155 degree water bath for long enough will cook uniformly to exactly 155 degrees worth of doneness. Sous-vide meat can then later be seared, sliced, chopped, or prepared any which way you like. Fancy chefs are the best-known practitioners of the technique, but in many ways it’s ideally suited to more casual dining.
Despite the cheesy (no pun intended) title of this article, there’s some real meat (pun intended) to it.
Chipotle is Apple
H&M designs a body that can better display clothes made for humans than humans can, then “dresses” it by drawing on its clothes, and digitally pastes on the heads of real women in post-production.
I have to admit, I’ve never heard of H&M. I also have to admit, I probably would not have noticed that the models were computer generated, as it seems like every photo I see of a fashion model is so heavily airbrushed, it might as well be computer generated.
So it’s not really surprising or new, just the next step down the path we’re already on.
H&M Puts Real Model Heads On Fake Bodies
John Gruber recently compared big screened cell phones to the Pepsi Challenge:
The thing with the Pepsi Challenge was that most people preferred (and prefer today) the taste of Coke over Pepsi, when drinking a full serving. But, when you only take a sip or two of each, people tend to prefer whichever is sweeter, and that was Pepsi.
With the release of the Google Nexus, I thought it timely to post my own analogy:
I compare the big versus small screen preference to Bicycle Seats.
When you hop on a hard bike saddle, it’s uncomfortable. If you hop on soft, cushy bicycle seat it feels comparatively great. However, if you ride for 20 miles on a soft saddle, you rub your hind quarters raw. Stiffer saddles are more comfortable in the long run. But who would think that just feeling of one in the store?
It’s not surprising to me that many people do not know how to use command-f (or control-f) to search a web page. But it is surpassing that 90% of people do not.
