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 thought, maybe Microsoft has a secret behind all this madness, this genius plan that is going to make me love them or at least not hate them as much.
These New Commercials Sucks

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 being [...]
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.
While we full-well expect the American automakers to get bailed out via Government bonds, hopefully GM can stem the tide and turn things around, starting with the Volt.
Production is scheduled to begin [...]
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. If all these celebrities like Matt Damon, start talking about how poor of a choice Palin is, they need to start acting.
MoveOn.org Where’s Our Swift Boat Veterans?
The Republican activist groups know how to win [...]
EPIC FAIL: Why We Shouldn't Let Presidents Craft Their Campaign Strategies
I was 3 when this ad aired, so I’m glad I never got to see it in its true nature. Michael Dukakis, you need to understand, the American people are extremely stupid. They’re impatient and childish. You need to talk on their level, we’re not in a college debate. Mr. Obama, please don’t go with [...]
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 to browse [...]
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 sites have [...]
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 30 [...]
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. And watching this video really highlights what a unique talent he is.
The Democratic Party should not be forgiven if they fail to land Obama in the White House in this [...]
What Do Sarah Palin and The Show, Hole In The Wall Have in Common?
Sarah Palin is arguably the least qualified person ever to be nominated as Vice President of the Uniter States. Her popularity rides in the fact that she was a beauty queen when she was younger and has maintained her looks very well into her 40s.
Yet, John McCain has now equaled Obama in the polls, dual [...]
Pandora's The Best Radio on Radio, But Herein Lies Their Biggest Problem
Pandora is a great service for listening to music, but I think their main strength may be their biggest weakness. Music fans have a ton of different of places to get music entertainment. TV, in the form of music videos, inserted into programming, and in movies. Fans can listen to the radio in the car, [...]
Why Ashton Kutcher is Trying to Sell Startups
After seeing Ashton Kutcher’s presentation yesterday at the TechCrunch50, I had some thoughts on why he would be spending his time launching a site, instead of making movies, or babies with Demi Moore.

Like everything in Hollywood, it’s about keeping up with the Jones. 50 Cent, the notorious rapper, who last [...]

You Don't Know It, Buy Why The Jerry Seinfeld-Microsoft Ads Will Be a HUGE Success
After seeing the Seinfeld Bill Gates ad last night while watching the opening game of the NFL season, I was skipping through the commercials as I normally do with Tivo, but then I went back. I alerted my girlfriend, “these are the new ads with Seinfeld,” and we began watching it. The commercial being 90 [...]

Video: Alex The Smartest Parrot Ever
After reading a story in the New Yorker a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been obsessed with the story of Alex, the parrot. He’s a remarkable bird that’s capable of emotive thought.
