Christmas 2008 ‘Get a Mac’ Ads

YouTubeing — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:12:30 +0000

Another chuckle-worthy advertising campaign from the Apple marketeers which doesn’t really focus on anything bad about Microsoft or good about Apple. Jolly and in the spirit of Christmas.

Skydiving Mouse - literally, exactly what you’d expect

YouTubeing — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:28:35 +0000

This is a viral from Microsoft, advertising their latest bluetrack computer mouse. A little more of a closeup on the little fella would really have made it YouTube gold. Still, even the idea of a mouse skydiving is worth a little chuckle.

A must see: Daredevil mouse jumps out of a plane!
New viral from Microsoft: adrenalin junkie mouse caught on camera skydiving from 10,000ft. He loves it!

Bill and Jerry take 2

YouTubeing — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:11:12 +0000

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld plunging into their roles for the second time as out-of touch individuals. There are a couple of good lines in this one.

“Why Bill? Because as we discussed, you and I are a little out of it. You’re living in some kinda moon house hovering over Seattle like the mothership. I’ve got so many cars I get stuck in my own traffic. We need to connect with real people.”

Another bonus is you don’t see Gates wiggle his bum in this ad, instead you see him do a far less creepy robot.

New Family - Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates Ad (Long Version)

In the second commercial in the series, Jerry Seinfeld convinces Bill Gates to try and connect with everyday people the old fashioned way.

Be at one with your motorcycle

This is the imaginative invention of Jake Loniak. This Tron like creation looks like every child’s (and adult’s) dream, however Jake says he just doesn’t have the time to create a working model but assures the entire thing is based on real world values and can be made.

In this video ‘Peter’ spins practically anything he can get his hands on, including a Nintendo Wii, MacBook Air and creates a sort of mini fire tornado. It’s worth a watch!

The heat behind PC games

YouTubeing — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:50:48 +0000

For those gamers out there who don’t have a stove… you’re in luck! If you are equipped with a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics card then you won’t go hungry at breakfast. A ‘YouTube Scientist’ decided to fry some eggs using the heat emitted from his graphics card, for what reason, we know not.

By turning down the fan speed about 10%, a dual chip Nvidia graphics card will get hot enough to fry an egg. We sped up the video while the pan was heating up - this took about 15 min.

Wii Fit Parody

We are not generally a fan of parodies, however this one does make a good point and after watching it, you do realise how good marketing really is the key with products like this. With currently over 1.5 million views and over 8,000 ratings, this video has definitely caught peoples attention.

The future of tennis (by Lacoste)

YouTubeing — Wed, 28 May 2008 17:45:16 +0000

Lacoste’s 75th anniversary has generated a storm of imagination, they are asking us what we think Tennis may be like 75 years from now (2083). The video below shows their vision of the future. It’s certainly an intriguing and incredibly exciting vision of the future. I doubt that tennis will change this much, however it isn’t unlikely that a new more futuristic branch of Tennis or Squash may emerge.

To celebrate its 75th anniversary and its founder’s extraordinary inventiveness, Lacoste invites you to imagine how tennis will be played in the future, 75 years from now.
