I don't know why this excites me as much as it does, but Research in Motion (RIM), the creators of the BlackBerry, showed off their very first commercial on NBC last night. In case you happened to miss it, here it is in all of its vibrant glory. You can also check it out on the
BlackBerry website.
Apple's master advertising people have once again picked an awesome song that makes me want to get up and dance crazily — preferably with a new iPod and a neon background. The artist is British band
The Ting Tings and the song is "Shut Up and Let Me Go" — it's ridiculously fun and dancey, a lot more high energy than my last Apple ad fave, "
New Soul."
How do they do this?. I would like to see if I could possibly hire this person just to constantly make me compilations of new, rad music.

I can't decide which is worse- the first ever
e-mail ad or the first cell phone commercial from 1989 shown below. Both definitely deserve

Conan O'Brien may have cornered the
funny fake iPhone commercial market with his faux commercial earlier this year, but the group of talented and creative individuals who put together this
iPhone ad deserve their own props. Featured on
TechEBlog, this
short video is shot in my second favorite city (New York City) and shows people discussing all the features of the iPhone. The best quote: "There are no buttons, you just touch the screen." That my friends, may be the main reason why I'm counting down the days until its arrival.
