By: Hillel Fuld Oh, Siri, Siri. I want to like you, I really do. The thing is though, coming from a company known for products of excellence and near-perfection, simply put, you stink! Here is the thing with Siri, the new “Voice Assistant” on the iPhone 4S. It is a marketing stunt that we are [...]
Samsung is killing it in the mobile space by all parameters. in fact, Samsung is killing it in many different spaces by all parameters. The company has recently become a true symbol of innovation.
While I have said before that I have issues with Windows Phone’s branding, especially its name, Microsoft clearly decided that the message they were going for with this platform was speed. That is the common denominator between almost all the Windows Phone ads I have seen, starting with the famous “Really?” campaign.
OK, let’s just get this out of the way from the get-go. Steve Jobs was not a nice man by any accounts. The man, however, was directly or indirectly involved in revolutionizing anywhere between seven and nine multibillion dollar industries, depending who you ask. They include home computing, mobile, music, tablets, software distribution (apps), digital publishing, animated films (Pixar), online video, and retail shopping.
Well, I usually put the video at the end of the my posts, but for obvious reasons, you had to watch the video before reading my thoughts. Now, the video above is not an ad for tech of any kind, it is a message to drivers to beware of cyclers.

Many idolized him, many hated him, but everyone agrees that when it comes to his presenting abilities as well as his vision in the world of design were breath-takingly inspirational. In fact, I believe that is the very reason most people put up with his personal issues of treating people the way he did and displaying the patterns of behavior for which he was well-known.
The competition between Apple and Android is heating up on all fronts and recent ads are just one example. Gone are the days in which Google advertises Google, Samsung advertises Samsung, and Apple advertises Apple.
