			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think that many of us have a mental image of what the average person that uses certain types of devices might look like. For instance, I picture the typical Apple as a person with designer glasses and a penchant for overpriced coffee. At the same time, the Android user always makes me think of a geek that really wants to be different, and cares more about his or her technology than the package it comes in.</p>
<p><span id="more-78586"></span>The gang at <a href="http://bluestacks.com/">BlueStacks</a> has compiled a bunch of data on users of Android and used that data to make up a composite image of Mr. Android for 2011.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78596" title="mr_android_2011_small" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/mr_android_2011_small.jpg" alt="mr android 2011 small" width="600" height="1728" /></p>
<p>The data shows that there is a 37% chance the Android user is wearing glasses and two-thirds of a chance he is clad in jeans. The Android guy has a 62% chance of being in some sort of relationship. He also has an 18% chance of having an unusually large head. The full-size image that puts all this stuff together is ginormous so you will need to check it out in full <a href="http://allthingsd.com/files/2011/12/mr-android-big.png">here</a> so you can read all the facts and figures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a serious Apple fanboy or fangirl? Here&#8217;s a poster that you&#8217;re probably going to want to hang on your wall. Entitled The Insanely Great History of Apple, it chronicles the past 30 years of technology released by Apple.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76394" title="insanely_great_history_of_apple_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/insanely_great_history_of_apple_1.jpg" alt="insanely great history of apple 1" width="600" height="825" /></p>
<p>This 18&#8243;x24&#8243; wall poster includes some of the best and worst moments in the history of Apple, ranging from the original Apple II to the Mac to the systems of Apple&#8217;s &#8220;dark&#8221; period, like the Quadras, Performas, eMate 300 and the hideous first-gen iBook. You know, the one that looked like a toilet seat.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76395" title="insanely_great_history_of_apple_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/insanely_great_history_of_apple_2.jpg" alt="insanely great history of apple 2" width="600" height="475" /></p>
<p><span id="more-76372"></span>While the chart seems fairly comprehensive from 1983 through 2011 &#8211; all the way up to the iPhone 4S, you won&#8217;t find Apple&#8217;s XServw line, some of the special educational models, or the earliest Apple models like the Apple I, Apple II and II+. I wonder why they chose to skip those. I&#8217;m a bit of a completionist, so would like to have seen EVERY Apple system ever. Except for those awful 3rd party clones from the likes of Power Computing, Motorola and UMAX. I&#8217;d rather forget that era.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76396" title="insanely_great_history_of_apple_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/insanely_great_history_of_apple_3.jpg" alt="insanely great history of apple 3" width="600" height="651" /></p>
<p>Regardless, it&#8217;s still a pretty cool bit of chart-art for Apple fanatics. Each poster is signed and numbered by the artists, from this limited second-edition of just 1000 prints. I you&#8217;d like one for your wall, you can order it from Brooklyn&#8217;s <a href="http://popchartlab.com/collections/prints/products/the-insanely-great-history-of-apple">Pop Chart Labs</a> for $25(USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artist <a href="http://www.lukejerram.com/">Luke Jerram</a> has converted the seismogram of this year&#8217;s devastating earthquake in Japan into a 3D printed sculpture. The seismogram charts the nine minutes of the earthquake, with its varying intensities. It&#8217;s called the <a href="http://www.lukejerram.com/projects/t%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake">Tōhoku Japanese Earthquake Sculpture</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72824" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/110711_rg_SeismogramArt_01.jpg" alt="110711 rg SeismogramArt 01" width="600" height="400" title="110711 rg SeismogramArt 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-72823"></span>The sculpture measures 12 inches in length and 8 inches in width. The 3D printing was done using rapid prototyping technology from a 3D image, obtained by rotating the graph. This isn&#8217;t Jerram&#8217;s first disaster sculpture. He&#8217;s also done one on the <a href="http://www.lukejerram.com/projects/28_seconds_hiroshima">Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion</a>. Next month, he plans on creating a glass version of this sculpture since he&#8217;ll be the artist in residence as the Washington Museum of Glass.</p>

<p>This piece is on display at the <a href="http://www.jerwoodvisualarts.org/page/3096/Jerwood+Encounters">Terra exhibition</a> at Jerwood Visual Arts in London from November 9th to December 11th.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-35279  aligncenter" title="lightsabers_compared" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/lightsabers_compared.jpg" alt="lightsabers compared" width="600" height="768" /></p>
<p><span id="more-35278"></span>Now if you read over the extensive comments over at <a href="http://scifiwire.com/2010/06/image-of-the-day-lightsab.php">Sci Fi Wire</a>, there&#8217;s tons of debate on the accuracy of Pest&#8217;s chart (like how Mace Windu&#8217;s lightsaber <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mace_windu_with_saber.jpg">was purple</a>). But other than the fact that the good guys had blue or green ones, and the  bad guys had red ones, I&#8217;m pretty much clueless about the rest.</p>
<p>Discuss amongst yourselves and let us know any revisions you&#8217;d make. Heck, Photoshop together a new and improved chart and maybe we&#8217;ll even post it.</p>
