If you’re a fan of Apple product design then you’ll love these compilation videos that Rob Beschizza over at BoingBoing put together.

"We did it! 100% funded in just over eight hours. You people are amazing! But it’s not over yet. The number keeps going up and now the question is just how much news do we want to make with this?

"Social networking is still the fastest-growing active social media behaviour online, increasing from 36% of global Internet users in GWI.1, to 59% managing their profile on a monthly basis by the end of 2011. This is followed by updating a microblog (e.g. Twitter), which increased from 13% to 24%, and uploading video which increased from 21% to 27%. Monthly ‘forum’ contribution declined significantly from 38% to 32%, between GWI.5 and GWI.6 while blog-writing stagnated at 27%."
