Say what you will about Apple's business practices, but its philanthropy work is hard to discount. Cupertino has raised over $65 million for Product Red's fight against AIDS since 2006, the charity tweeted today. The announcement comes from the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where the male half of Bonoprah took the stage, commenting that the tech giant "is certainly leading the crew" in terms of donations to the effort -- something that should speak much louder than a broken click wheel ever will.

Artist Work by Knight has created these astonishing portraits of various celebrities using nothing more than discarded keyboard keys. Sort of. The artist does do some work with real keys as well as other work strictly in the digital realm creating keyboard portraits. It’s not clear which these fall under but either way, the results are pretty cool. That’s Bono above, even better than the real thing.
This might be a bit of a stretch as far as “celebrity” goes but I’m not surprised that Storage Wars’ Barry Weiss has been given the keyboard treatment. Why not?
Jay-Z may have 99 problems, but a portrait made of keyboard keys ain’t one.
Dr. House to the rescue. Looks like we’re going to have to operate to put these keys back together. (via designboom)

In case the newly announced Leica M simply isn't astronomically expensive enough -- or charity-minded enough, as it were -- Apple's senior VP of design Jony Ive is working with the German photography company on a one-off version set to be auctioned for charity. Given the M's baseline price of €6,200 (about $8,100), we're guessing the one-of-a-kind version designed by one of the world's most influential designers is going to fetch a pretty penny at auction. Like, "sell off one of your extra homes" kind of money. Leica head Dr. Andreas Kaufmann announced the collaboration last night during a Leica event at Photokina -- an event that Ive himself was reportedly set to appear at -- where he said that the auction will be done with U2 frontman (and longtime friend of Ive) Bono Vox. The latest Leica M debuts in early 2013, though we won't see the fruits of Ive and Leica's collaboration for some time as the camera's design has yet to begin.
