Apple Needs to ‘Think Different’ Again
Posted by admin | Filed under Current Events, Videos
Apple has a special magic that other brands spend millions failing to replicate. This ad personifies that magic and it’s telling that it is more than a decade old. Perhaps a victim of their success, their iPhone and ‘I’m a Mac. I’m a PC’ adds have eclipsed the magic they once projected. Now they deliver technological marvels, but like many that succeed, they’ve changed a little. Regardless, the message of this ad still makes me smile, even if the company that paid for it doesn’t always.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona – *** 1/2
Posted by admin | Filed under Movie Review
We rented Vicky Christina Barcelona from Amazon – Video On Demand (Formerly Amazon Unbox). I went in with no expectations but I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz both impressed me. Rebecca Hall as Vicky was not someone I had seen act before and her performance was spot on as well. Scarlett Johansson was less interesting but I might be influenced by the nature of the character she is playing. The ending has a nice symmetry, though perhaps too satisfying a payoff for those too quick to judge the turmoil surrounding Javier Bardem’s character. Like so many things, ultimately I enjoyed the journey a bit more than the destination but it was a trip I was very glad to have taken. Authentic dialogue and performances that crackle all set in gorgeous Spanish countryside.
Mini- Amazon – Video On Demand Review
Amazon – Video On Demand via Tivo is a service that enables you to download films (for purchase or rental) over broadband internet. The service works flawlessly thanks to the integration with Tivo but is still a bit pricey. The quality of the downloaded video is more than acceptable on our 32″ HD TV. The convenience of browsing and purchasing without the need for a Netflix cue or a trip to Blockbuster is hard to beat. We tend to wait for sale pricing and have yet to rent any of the HD titles, but so far so good.

Via Digg:
A Google Video of MTV back in 1983. Watch it before the lawyers send there letter and it gets pulled. Be sure to note the awful advertising and shocking abundance of “music” on MTV.
