Microsoft's New Commercials Without Seinfeld Are a Disaster
Hi, I’m a PC and I’m pathetic. The Seinfeld/Microsoft ads had artistic flair, something that kept you wondering, or at least confused.

You Want to Know How to Win the Election? Ask the Ad Men…
Advertising Age, or adage.com is the preeminent source for all things advertising. And luckily, they’ve done a great job of covering the Presidential Election. Watching the different strategies of the two candidates sometimes is sickening to me, because they just seem to be missing the point. The Obama campaign, up until recently, I felt was [...]
High Gas Prices Killing You? Relief Is On the Way.. The Volt is HERE
Relief from the pump desperately needed? Tired of $4+ gas prices? Help may finally be here with the first unveiling of the Chevy Volt.

Michael Moore's Election Guide 2008, and What MoveOn NEEDS To Be Doing
I don’t know if Michael Moore’s new site will convert any voters, but it’s a good exercise by an active documentarian.

EPIC FAIL: Why We Shouldn't Let Presidents Craft Their Campaign Strategies

Really Creepy Zune-McDonald's Ad Shows Just How Out of Touch Microsoft Is
So it looks like Microsoft needs to hire Crispin+Porter to do all of their advertising, whether it be TV or print, and this ad for the Zune partnership with McDonald’s is more evidence. Microsoft and Ronald Don’t Mix Why Microsoft, are you releasing such an anemic Zune offering? This thing has no browser, it’s impossible [...]
Think Apple's Genius Feature is Just OK? Here's a REAL Genius Moment
So you think the latest Apple release is pretty neat, eh? But you probably don’t like the fact that it only includes music from your current library, and unless we’re pilfering millions of songs, it probably limits the ability for the Geniuses to do their work. All the Music You Could Ever Want Online music [...]
What Did I Say? Microsoft Seinfeld Ads Have a Plan, And They're AMAZING!
After proclaiming to the world that the Seinfeld-Microsoft ads were going to be a raving success, I am proved correct. I didn’t see this latest edition of the commercial on TV, as I’ve been catching up on TIVO, I did get the privilege of watching this newest edition this morning, and after 4 minutes and [...]
If The Democrats Can't Put Obama In the White House They Need to Disband: Obama Amazing on Letterman[video]
It will really be a shame if Obama doesn’t win this election. He’s eloquent, articulate, and pretty much everything you could ask for in a president.
