Renault Avantime by MATRA: A coupe-cabriolet-MPV concept for unique driving pleasure and traveling comfort.
Today, Avantime is a precious find for collectors of rarities!
The Avantime was designed and developed in-house by Renault affiliate Matra and was conceived by Philippe Guédon, head of the automotive division at Matra, who "believed that the children of Espace owners remained loyal to the car even after they had grown up and left home. As a result, the renowned MPV was gaining a generation of new drivers."
Styled by Patrick Le Quément, the Avantime was intended to combine the space of an MPV with four-place pillarless qualities of a coupé. Regarding the styling, Thierry Metroz, design project manager, said, "We wanted someone walking around the car to be continually astonished."
The one-box design eliminated B-pillars and featured an aluminum structure, aluminum panels for the greenhouse and a full sunroof of strengthened heat-reflecting glass. The interior featured four seats each with built-in seatbelts and Bridge of Weir leather. To facilitate access to the rear seats, two long doors featured a double parallel-opening hinge system (marketed as "double-kinematic") that maximized access with minimal outswing of the doors. Front side windows lowered automatically when either of the front seats folded forward to further facilitate entry to the rear two seats.[6] Windows featured power-deployable sunshades, and the H-points of the rear two seats were higher than the forward two seats, giving the Avantime "theater seating." The luggage compartment featured a retaining system using retractable straps, and all Avantimes featured a two-tone look created by the exposed aluminium of the greenhouse. The windows and panoramic sunroof could open automatically via a single, headliner mounted control, to give the Avantime an 'open air' mode.
The design borrowed the automotive space frame of the first generation Renault Espace (load bearing galvanized structure with non-load bearing composite panels) utilizing Renault's 24 valve, 207 hp (152 kW) 3.0L V6 engine was coupled to a 6-speed transmission.
This is a traced version of an actual ad for Apple Computer that came out sometime in the mid or late '80s. Anyway, I saw this sometime when I was in the ninth grade on a wall in a computer lab. I think it was kept up on the wall as a collectible.
Note: I do not own the original ad. The original ad is owned by Apple Computer, Inc. You can find the real ad on Google Images or some other website and type "Jim Henson Apple ad" or "Jim Henson Kermit Apple."

It's a clip from this video about Leo ranting about the Zune:

Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, which was founded by the legendary transistor co-inventor and nobel laureate William Shockley, was located here that marked the twilight of the silicon era in the valley...
the projects didn't fly though, and the only things left are the plaque merged to the ground and a sign raised to the blue californian sky... here (see more pics below), and probably in all the gadgets everywhere in the world from the evolutions or revolutions later on... from "Traitorous Eight" departing for Fairchild and then many many great companies... a lot of stories for sure...
as of 2006 it was apparently occupied by a small store selling farm produce according to the wiki (some bitterness can be sensed there for some reasons), and the building was empty with the sign taken out as seen above... at the corner of the greater san antonio shopping plaza nowadays...
the "lab" was running between 1956 and 1968...
the plaque was dedicated in year 2000, see the contents below in the comment... and here is the official web site with a link to some old pictures at www.shockleytransistor.com/

Apple promotional sticker I got for free last weekend when purchasing some vintage Mac hardware from a parts/repair place here in Vancouver ( www.thehackery.ca )!
Have you closely examined the "Text Edit" icon in Leopard?
Here's the transcript in it's entirety:
Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world,
Are the ones who do.

This morning, 06.30 a.m. Rome GMT, my iPhone woke me up, as usually. Few minutes later I read the terrible news that Steve Jobs passed away in the late evening Cupertino GMT.
It was a terrible day, today. For all the World.
This man, in the future, will be remembered as the modern Leonardo Da Vinci.
My thoughts goes to his family and to all the families who has lost someone care because a tragic sickness.
