This was on mashable article on iPhone 4.0 software and I see two Google Nexus ads.

The rebranding car wreck doesn’t end there though. Not happy with just creating a shockingly bad logo for bing the designers of this launch micro-site (which I assume is being used to herald the new dawn of Bing to the world) have blatantly ripped an idea from this site: dragoninteractive.com. Of course, it goes without saying that the Dragon Interactive site is far superior in many ways – but why have Microsoft so obviously not invested time in the design of these sites let alone the bing logo?

Also Microsoft apparently ripped off Kayak.com for their travel search features. You would think a company with the resources of Microsoft would be able to create unique and better designs. Also, they have this creative company that does some ads for them just in case they need some help, they are pretty well known. Maybe you’ve heard of them? (Hint: their name rhymes with Crispin Porter + Bogusky)

The bing search engine itself actually isn’t that bad, but that matters little when their competition is google. Microsoft would likely win more converts if they didn’t piss everyone off by using bad or stolen creative.

Tangent thought…but every time I think of “Microsoft design” I can’t help but think of the great: “If Microsoft designed the ipod packaging” video which is embedded below. Enjoy

I don’t understand why Billy Mays must yell at me every time he is on TV. Also, why is this an acceptable and popular form of television advertising?

I’m sure he’s a nice guy and all. But please stop yelling at me.

I didn’t mean forever.

R.I.P Billy Mays

(Original Post – Billy Mays Stop Yelling at Me!!)

Weird, ad. I wonder if I got it because I have a station named Country?

Also, earlier I had weird thing were it played a song called “Battle of New Orleans” by Johnny Horton that clearly didn’t belong in the station. It was really out of place and was followed by a U2 song and after I accidentally closed my browser, the song shown in the pic above.

Ghosts in the machine at Pandora today?

Most commercials harmlessly play in the background, however I can't help but nearly jump off the couch as soon Billy Mays starts yelling about Oxi Clean or some other home cleaning product.

Watching last comic standing and couldn’t help but notice the banner ads promoting the mummy movie. The attempts to get ads past the DVR take a new step. Hope this doesn’t catch on.
