World's First Fully Shoppable Music Video

In its latest attempt to separate a unique retail experience from its competitors, SSENSE developed the world’s first interactive shoppable music video. The Canadian retailer uses an interactive hotspot technology from wireWAX in which the viewer is prompted with a “Shop This Look” link. If selected, the video will pause, and a box will appear with the artist’s outfit laid out in its entirety, presenting each item available for purchase through the brand’s webstore. 

In conjunction with this innovative launch, we also get a look at the video premiere of “I Think She Ready” featuring FKi, Iggy Azealea and Diplo. Check it out below...

Nike Air Yeezy 2 Release Info & Price

We've seen two different colourways of the new Air Yezzy 2 floating around the web of late. Pictured below are the black and grey/white colourways. Originally due to be released on 23rd March, the lack of official images has led us to believe this date has been pushed back.

New rumours now suggest the grey/white colourway of the Nike Air Yezzy 2 will be the first to release and that it will drop on 13th April. The trainer supposedly comes with a matching dust bag and will be priced at $250.

Apple OS X Mountain Lion Preview

Yesterday Apple released a developer preview of OS X Mountain Lion, the ninth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system, which brings popular apps and features from iPad to the Mac. Mountain Lion introduces Messages, Notes, Reminders and Game Center to the Mac, as well as Notification Center, Share Sheets, Twitter integration and AirPlay Mirroring. Mountain Lion is the first OS X release built with iCloud in mind for easy setup and integration with apps. The developer preview of Mountain Lion also introduces Gatekeeper, a revolutionary security feature that helps keep you safe from malicious software by giving you complete control over what apps are installed on your Mac. Mac users will be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in late summer 2012.

Features:

Messages App – Replaces iChat and allows you to send unlimited messages, high-quality photos and videos directly from your Mac to another Mac or iOS device. Reminders and Notes help you create and track your to-dos across all your devices. Game Center lets you personalize your Mac gaming experience, find new games and challenge friends to play live multiplayer games, whether they’re on a Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Notification Center – Provides easy access to alerts from Mail, Calendar, Messages, Reminders, system updates and third party apps. System-wide Share Sheets make it easy to share links, photos and videos directly from Apple and third party apps. Twitter is integrated throughout Mountain Lion so you can sign on once and tweet directly from Safari, Quick Look, Photo Booth, Preview and third party apps. Mountain Lion also introduces AirPlay Mirroring, an easy way to wirelessly send a secure 720p video stream of what’s on your Mac to a HDTV using Apple TV.

iCloud – Access documents across your devices. Mountain Lion uses your Apple ID to automatically set up Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Messages, FaceTime and Find My Mac. The new iCloud Documents pushes any changes to all your devices so documents are always up to date.

Gatekeeper – A revolutionary new security feature that gives you control over which apps can be downloaded and installed on your Mac. You can choose to install apps from any source, just as you do on a Mac today, or you can use the safer default setting to install apps from the Mac App Store. For maximum security, you can set Gatekeeper to only allow apps from the Mac App Store to be downloaded and installed.
