Apple’s Attention To Detail

…shows best with this picture: a miniscule but still significant change from OS X 10.7.2 to 10.7.3. I just wonder why they had to bend the pointing hand, it now looks a little bit like Mickey Mouse’s hand to me.

Fresh Impressions on Brandmarks Through the Eyes of a Child

Here’s a video rundown of various logos along with an interpretation of a 5-year old. Funny how she thought one logo looks like “little squirms” or worms and tries to associate several logos to colourful balls, marble, baby toys, and “babies are little.”

We Just Got Samsunged: Samsung Makes Fun Of Apple Customers, Again

Nader — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:24:14 +0000

The fight between Samsung and Apple does not only happen in court but also in commercials. After Samsung had acquired an actress from the iPhone advertisements they are now making fun of Apple customers (again).

In the new commercial you see people camping in front of a store that is still closed. The names Apple and iPhone are not mentioned but they don’t have to be, since this becomes clear when watching the video. A person in line makes fun of an unboxing-video that transports the opinion the new smart phone (iPhone 4S) looks exactly like the precedent.

While this video is surely funny I am not sure if it is good for Samsung to make fun of Apple’s customers directly. At the end of the day they want to sell them lots of their devices. The views count of YouTube says it is pretty successful though: over 350,000 and counting…

Hootsuite, the social media management dashboard, released an infographic showing the top 15 trending brands on twitter from 2011. To round out the trendiest topics they also included Topics, Tags and in Memorium Trends.

Interesting to note MySpace is still at #7 ~~even though the network is pretty much dead~~ (Nielsen ranks them at #5 of social networks & blogs, before Google+ and tumblr) , and, RIM even makes it into the top 15. The data in this series was collected by WhatTheTrend from over 500,000 trends which appeared on twitter.com

The list was based on an algorithm that awarded points based on the rank and duration spent on the top 10. Similar to the first infographic, the data used in this series were compiled by What the Trend from over 500,000 trends which appeared on Twitter.com. In addition to the 15 brands, the top trending topics, hashtags, memorials, and holidays of 2011 were also included.

Samsung makes fun of Apple mania. The next big thing is already there.

In a recent TV commercial Samsung makes fun of all those Apple nerds waiting in line to get the newest iPhone. According to Samsung nobody needs to wait since the next big thing is already there: the Samsung Galaxy SII. Even though making fun of Apple isn’t new (Hello Motorola Xoom Tablet) the ad is still enjoyable. Check it out.

iPad Shot with Shotgun Video

Nader — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:44:18 +0000

“Paying too much for tax preparation is a lot like…throwing money away.” Free Tax USA shoots on an iPad with a shotgun and destroys it. Interesting to see how the glass explodes all over the place. In my point of view not the perfect connection to tax payments but surely an extreme ad luring some eyeballs.
