Nike has just unveiled a new boot and program that is a pretty interesting way to combine a product, a service and a training aid. Sounds kinda crazy right? Check this out…

A unique user-code that comes with every pair of the boots allows access to exclusive training content from some of the biggest names in the game, including Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal and Andrés Iniesta of FC Barcelona.

The integration of technology with a soccer boot is pretty interesting and unique. First was the integration of running sneakers and iPods to help people manage their training, and now comes this.

Us Now - The Power of Mass Collaboration

Filed under: Cool Ish, Social Issues, Technology


Us Now is a documentary project about the power of mass collaboration, the internet and its potential impact on society. Directed by Ivo Gormley, the film explores how the web is changing the ways we can organize ourselves and illustrates how online networks are changing the way we live together.

Us Now follows the fate of Ebbsfleet United, a football club owned and run by its fans; Zopa a bank in which everyone is the manager; and CouchSurfing, a vast online network whose members share their homes with strangers.”

Watch the full hour long documentary at Dotsub.

I could be wrong (although I think the robot thing will definitely be happening). Overall it was good to check out what’s going on in the video game industry and geek out on some new products that I might need in my life. Only thing that was a disappointment, Olivia Munn was nowhere to be found…
