If you haven’t seen it already, the results from this year’s Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) are online. IDEO won the most awards, no surprise with their long pedigree, hundreds of designers, and many offices submitting their best work.
Impressively Yves Behar's Fuseproject got second place, not bad for a firm of under 10 people that's less than five years old. Randomly picking a blog's highlight of the awards, take a look at SensoryImpact's favorites.

Produce grower and exporter Dole has introduced a new technology service that allows a cellphone user to check vegetable information while at the store. Consumers can learn where the produce came from and how it arrived on the shelf, along with cooking tips. The service only works on produce packaged with a ``QR'' barcode, a matrix-type super-code capable of storing lots of information. The shopper needs a cellphone equipped with a camera and scanner equipment that can read the codes. For now, only Dole's broccoli has the QR code, but the company plans to expand the service to other vegetables.
