Newest Kindle Ad Seems Silly

When Amazon released its newest Kindle, a smart ad took direct aim at the iPad, highlighting the fact that you can read the Kindle in bright light with no glare. The commercial was effective because of its simplicity and humor. But now the latest Kindle ad, which just debuted, sort of takes the concept a little too far. The new ad ad is clearly targeted at 20-somethings, and features a bunch of Read more

Motorola Xoom Super Bowl Commercial

Next up in geeky Super Bowl commercials, the latest Motorola ad for its new Xoom tablet. The commercial parodies Apple's old 1984 spot, depicting a bunch of stark, expressionless drones tethered to their iOS devices while the Xoom user enjoys full color . . . and flowers.

Sony Mocks Apple in PSP Ad

Which portable gaming console you use is just a matter of preference. I have an iPhone, Nintendo DS, and PSP and find that my DS gets the lion's share of my attention. However, I won't be giving up Patapon and LittleBigPlanet on the PSP, or Plants vs. Zombies, and Words With Friends on my iPhone any time soon.

Who Wins: Microsoft's Seinfeld Ads or Apple's Mac vs. PC Ads?

Though the second Microsoft ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld is a lot funnier than the first, I can't help but feel that it's still lacking . . . direction? Humor? As a die-hard Seinfeld fan, I'm disappointed that these spots aren't as "Jerry" as his humor on the show was, and even more disappointed because I don't really know what Microsoft is trying to say. Contrast that with their rival Apple, Read more

The Windows and Mac Guys in '96

This ad totally cracks me up! Little did I know that the PC vs. Mac wars started long before the 21st century. I've got proof — this Windows vs. Mac ad from 1996! The descriptions of each one are worth zooming your eyes in to read, for example "The Mac Addict," it says: "The casual 'Seinfeld cut' is in. Of course, Jerry would never use a PC." I can't even imagine who would be their celebrity Read more
