I recently came across an article naming the top 25 most creative business people in the world today. Some of them i found to be quite interesting and not someone that i would have ever thought of until i read this article. Below are a few of these top most creative business people, visit Fast Company to view all 25 of them.

1. Melinda Gates. As Bill Gates wife she has been said by Bill himself that the company would never even exist if it wasn’t for her input and influences she gives him.
2. Reed Hastings the founder of Netflix has broadened his range of Netflix devices to not just the Internet (as originally planned) but to the TV and other Netflix read devices.
3. Stella McCartney is said to be the new face for responsible clothing. In her designs there is no leather or fur used to create her luxurious clothing line.

You have to admire a guy gutsy enough to build an office building in Paris taller than the Eiffel Tower. By 2012, Thom Mayne’s 68-story La Phare (”the Lighthouse”) will rise over the La Defense district. The 2005 Pritzker Prize winner is famous for audacious buildings: the bunkerlike Caltrans District 7 Headquarters in Los Angeles that locals call the “Death Star”; the disjointed Cahill Center at Caltech; the mesh-covered science and art center at New York’s Cooper Union.

Many are up in arms about the recent announcement of Disney buying out the long time favorite Marvel comics. Many wonder what this will forecast for Marvels many characters in the future. Will they change drastically, will they get rid of some of the characters that people love?

One sure thing about this transition is that Disney is in a place where they can provide 3D qualities to the Marvel characters, and some of the Marvel characters would be awesome in 3D light!

While yes Disney has always been known to be a fluffier side of character story telling, they may be the perfect solution to Marvel characters. Remember reading your Marvel comics and thinking to yourself how you wish they had brighter color, more actions, looked more realistic, came in 3D, or simply were just plain better then what you were looking at? Well Disney definitely has the capability of doing all of these things for all 5 thousand of the Marvel characters.

Duluth News Tribune:

Your beer will remain cold until the last sip at Aces on First in Duluth because of a unique innovation added to the bar.

Aces on First became the first bar in Minnesota to install stainless steel coasters known as Chilldiscs that keep a 4-inch surface in front of every barstool at a frosty 26 degrees.

“It really keeps the drinks cold. It’s new, innovative and it’s fun,” Patronas said. “It was scary at first to have someone drill into your bar, but Aces wants to be cutting edge.”

Chilldisc, which was invented by Fred Kent of Westminster, Md., has reached bars in 13 states, mainly on the East Coast, since it was introduced to market last year. Kent’s invention pumps a corn-oil substance from insulated tubes underneath the bar to each coaster.

“It’s like a food-grade antifreeze, but there are no coils like a standard refrigerator,” said Kent, who has worked on the invention since 2004 after a 30-year career in the commercial refrigerator and metal fabrication businesses. “It’s a proprietary method of cooling to get the same results.”

“It’s a great product because it gives a competitive advantage,” Bradley said. “In the recession and this economy, it helps to get that happy-hour crowd.” He also said bars can offset their cost by selling the advertising space on top of the coasters.
