Yeah babe. Cool ways to promote, Microsoft. A logo for 30 seconds would have been more effective. Good ways to be destroyed by online communities. And Apple communities are full of maniacs. Like me. Next time, think twice.
I know this is very old, I just never found [...]

Having fun of Apple user (even if not as satisfying as having fun of Microsoft users) is a great trend in web 2.0 world. Fanboys fight, commercials compare one to another (and the product is the person, not the computer), and parodies are made. The Simpson, even in the middle of thetragic decline of the [...]

Take Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, Tony Hawk and the baseball Madonna kid Alex Rodriguez.
Then Heidi Klum.
Take an old movie with a debuting star like Risky Business and Tom Cruise.
Use consolatory feelings.
Take a nice idea, not creative but cool for the product.
Can’t miss.
Ps. you will need a lot [...]

I love how Apple can make commercials just about the competitor. I am an Apple user, and It’s amazing how they created a huge successful campaign (web 2.0 grace) just on the disgrace of Microsoft. And the perfect use of Youtube, making Apple commercials viral, with hundreds of parodies and contributing to the never ending [...]

Not great, but pretty funny video on youtube. I never really liked re-dubbed videos, they are always trying to be funny at any cost, even forcing things a little. This one keeps some plot of the original story but referred to Xbox Live. The movie is The Downfall, a [...]

Ok, I don’t really like microsoft, and I have to admit I don’t like their iPod alike mp3 player, Zune. It just makes no sense, doesn’t fit with iPod users (that can spend money to have THE mp3 player) and the cheap Creative mp3 player. And it does not have the reminiscence of something beautiful [...]
