Graphic artist Christopher David Ryan made great prints utilizing the “Apple” or “Command” Key made popular in OS X. The Apple geeks will understand the meaning: Open, Your mind (Command + O = Open)

Combine Google Finance, the stock market freefall and an advertisement which pops up on a search for “Goog” (Google’s Nasdaq symbol): “Before you jump out of that window, why not spend your last remaining dollars at Woot?”
If it’s a great marketing stunt by Woot I wonder what Google Adwords they used. If not that’s the negative side of computer generated ads I guess :)
Once again an interesting, useless product on teleshopping TV.
“A blanket with sleeves?! My life is changed forever. …” Watch the Video about “The Snuggie” after the click.

Steve Ballmer selling Windows 1.0
After watching this video it is clear he hasn’t changed his attitude or technique of selling. :)
Hilarious comedy making fun of all the typical buzzwords: tagging, feed, community, most-popular, etc. :)

Viral rap-video of two guys representing Mac and PC. Check the lyrics.
Macs and PCs – no fight gets bigga, Surf Safari or browse in I.E., Better know what you rep(resent) – a Mac or PC!
Geeky but very appropriate job advertisement by Netherlands based company Virgil to recruit programmers. Apparently getStringFromObject() is a JAVA command but in this context it obviously means something different :)
The ad generator is a generative artwork that explores how advertising uses and manipulates language. Words and semantic structures from real corporate slogans are remixed and randomized to generate invented slogans. These slogans are then paired with related images from Flickr, thereby generating fake advertisements on the fly.
“By remixing corporate slogans, I intend to show how the language of advertising is both deeply meaningful, in that it represents real cultural values and desires, and yet utterly meaningless in that these ideas have no relationship to the products being sold. In using the Flickr images, the piece explores the relationship between language and image, and how meaning is constructed by the juxtaposition of the two.”
The ad generator was created by Alexis Lloyd as a component of an MFA thesis project in the Design and Technology department at Parsons The New School for Design.
Interesting, funny, business harming what I just saw on Brand Infection: Arabic Google AdSense listings. I wonder what Google’s algorithm has picked up to display this ad!?
