Ecko is offering discounts for logo tattoos as a part of Branded For Life.
Does anyone else think this is a little ridiculous? I’m almost a little offended, tattoos are suppose to be sacred things, but from the way this ad goes. it just takes 20% off for a permanent advertising space on your body… ?
This feels a little like a farmer branding a cow. we’re the cows.
So what’s the verdict guys? Apple just unveiled it’s Ipad 2 a couple hours ago and it’s a doozy. Taking a more direct shot this time, Steve makes a point of stating the fact that the other tablet competitors (RIM, Samsung, Android Beehive, Motorola etc. ) don’t stand a chance. He plainly juxtaposes it as “The Year of the Copy Cats” vs. “The Year of the Ipad 2”.
How about that?
Well, I for one, believe it. It’s beating them in the race to the stores for one, We’ve heard a lot about the playbook, but as of yet no release date. (Lose) What else? We know that there will be an ipad 3 and so it’s a matter of will you get ipad 2 or 3? Us consumers will be so busy scratching our heads with that one we won’t even consider others. Plus, I have trouble believing that any one else will come close to the low price of the ipad.
I promise you i am usually very anti-apple, but I just gotta get my hands on this one.
So like many others, I stopped what I was doing this morning to sit and read the liveblog from engadget.com of the unveiling of the Ipad 2. And I can’t tell you how much I want it!
And I will sum up it’s awesomeness in 5 points.
1. Front and Rear Camera (means photobooth)
2. Thinner than the previous ipad and the iphone 4!(what?!)
3. Cool smart cover, and Steve likes to emphasize that it’s NOT a case but a cover. This I thought was pretty cool. I usually hate cases cause they make everything bulky and that = not as much fun. But this here, acts as a stand, a screen protector and cleaner!
4. imovie and garageband are now available in ipad form.
5. Same amount of battery life (10 hrs), new a5 dual core processor (faster), and a new os.
Oh, and the price points are exactly the same as the ipad 1.
The release date for the US is March 11th(lucky bastards). The rest of the world will have to wait until March 25th. See you guys at the store.
Well, we’ve all seen it, the signature “like” buttons when we cruise onto sites far away from Facebook land. What does it all mean?
Well, it means that Facebook is gearing up to have its own search bar. In a due time(it’s kind of already happening), your Facebook search bar will not only pull up friends, groups, or events… you will be able to type in “restaurant” and Facebook will pull up places that your friends have liked or been to recently. In this way, Facebook is making search engines…personal.
Think about it, you will be able to get up-close reviews, from people trusted and similar to you. It’s pretty genius, I must say.
I am forever a Google fan, but I’m interested in what Facebook is bringing to the table.
I came across this one on adage today ( link will be at bottom). Our folks from the UK have created a product called the Mooncup, and it’s a re-usable, medical grade silicon cup that you stick up, you-know-where when it comes to that time of month again. Interesting, obviously, so I kept reading.
First off, I do like the greeting on the site, very floral, and the “Do you love your lady garden” does strike a chord in me, and i’m assuming most women would argee that they do. Of course, when i clicked through to the site, I believe the problem is more within the product than the advertising. It looks just like this:
A sort of hybrid between an ice cream cone and a condom in my opinion, and it sits, just like that, in that up-right position. Now it’s a bit daunting, first, the sheer fact of having one of those lodged up there for the entire day. But the fact that it’s silicon, plastic-like, bothers me even more. And, the fact that it’s made to be reusable, well, i’m not sure how i feel about that one at this point.
Granted, there are great reviews on this product, but the few that contain the words “sloshing” and “messy” will definitely echo louder than anything else.
Maybe i’m judging a book by it’s cover, but i don’t think the mooncup is for me.
And I must say it was well deserved, I reviewed the top 20 commercials and this was by far the most well deserved. Not too douchy, not too loud, and with just the right amount of humour and nostalgia. It’s a perfect win, and I’m glad it was recognized.
