Do Weird Body Parts in Quirky Commercials Really...
There are weird commercials, and then there are weird commercials that use body parts to attempt to sell product. Like these three strange ones below… makes you wonder what the ad pitch sessions were like when they came up with the idea. And to think some suit green lit them too. You be the judge… I guess this is what’s called “Ass”vertising… Diesel shoes were...

BMW demonstrates Apps, which supports iPhone features like Twitter and Facebook into their iDrive interface. Assuming that people want to integrate their social application features into their car dashboard, BMW demonstrates in this video that they have absolutely no business in creating this kind of software… For years I’ve complained (I’m not the only one) about the clunky and...

Confused by APIs? This video might clear things up
Best Buy produced this video to describe the difference between closed and open systems in a way that hopefully makes it very easy to understand APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), the method by which people interact with apps. Their analogy of kids’ board games versus playing cards is very insightful. Check it out! < Click here if you cannot see the video
