"The 12-inch PowerBook G4 packs formidable processing power for busgraphic design and editing digital video ? "



WTF? Busgraphic design? Is that a typo, or it is just something that I've never heard of?

    It's not a typo. Logos like this are possible thanks to technology found in Apple's new 12" PowerBook G4:







    I found this in the Creative Professionals section of Apple's site. Can't find the exact like right now though.

    The thing that is special about it is that it is Bustastic.

    On the flip side of the coin, the 12" Powerbook has also been attributed to the sharp increase in busaholism.

    Look at the smooth curves and intricate shading. The G3-based iBook simply does not have the power necessary to create something of this calibre.



    If you are still stuck in G3ville, it's time to get on the Bus, baby.

    Looks like something that Brute! might have done.

    Busgraphics are for smuggling. Huge sheets of vinyl, printed in a four-color process, stretched across the side of a vehicle, can instantly transform its visual appearance. You run the empty truck across the border with one ad, and bring it back with another. And of course, you do it all with your powerbook.



    Here's an example of it in action, from a large hydroponics grower in california:

    murbot, are you in smart ass mode today or what?? You know you fell for the "power of 12" hook-line-and-sinker the instant you saw it.
