Windows 7 Was My Idea

With today’s launch of Windows 7, Microsoft is expanding the “I’m a PC” marketing campaign. And I have to say that it’s very effective. The “Windows 7 Was My Idea” commercial will start making the rounds starting today.

iPhone Ad Pulled In UK Due To Accuracy

Boy the UK's Advertising Standards Authority is a stickler on advertising accuracy. Hence why they have pulled the latest Apple iPhone ad, that says "all the parts of the internet are on the iPhone." Well the ASA says that it's not entirely true, and I have to agree to a certain point. Check the quote:

"Because the iPhone doesn't support Flash or Java, you couldn't really see the internet in its full glory...[Apple] made a very general claim that you can see the internet in its entirety, and actually that's not quite true - so we've upheld."

Apple argues that what they mean is that the iphone can access any webpage, not appearance. What I'm curious about is when Apple will make flash and Java work with the iPhone?

Apple Stealing Art?

The world is in love with Apple right now. With the iphone having such a great debut and everyone has an ipod (or should, right?).

But everything might not be right in Cupertino!!!

Rumors are suggesting that Apple might be ripping off artists. Say it ain't so!

From G4TV.com:
Artist Louis Psihoyos filed suit against Apple for supposedly ripping off his wall of digital photos.

Christian Marclay was in talks with Apple to license his short film, but they (supposedly) just shot their own version of it and used that.

Compare Lugz Shoes' Fall 2002 commercial, and Apple's 2006 Eminem / iTunes ad. Apple pulled the ad after a cease-and-desist order was sent.

Another Apple ad looks like a shot-for-shot remake of The Postal Service's music video.

This might get interesting.
