The whole commercial is cute, but is it helping to sell Windows 7? Sure, the idea is that Windows 7 is so easy to use that little kids can handle it. But you can also get the idea that you are too old for Windows 7. Read more

Topic:

New Microsoft Giampaolo Commercial keeps on hitting Apple where it hurts Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review Microsoft released the second Laptop Hunter commerical continuing to heat up the war between Apple and Microsoft fans. This time tech savvy Giampaolo (You must just love the Ad agency to pick this name) hunts down a power user laptop for under $1,500. See the video of the ad below.

Giampaolo has just a few words for the unibody Apple Laptop, but they hurt, because of their stereotypical nature.

Topic:

The worst Super Bowl 2009 Commercials Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review We already featured the Top 10 Super Bowl 2009 Ads and the Top 5 Funniest Super Bowl 2009 Ads. Now I look at the loser ads of the Super Bowl 2009.
If you go by the USA Today Ad Meter Super Bowl Ranking than Vizio had the worst Super Bowl 2009 Commercial.
The Vizio Super Bowl ad was just featuring information and therefore was boring. They also did not try hard as Vizio claims they only needed 72 hours to develop, write, produce and deliver the Ad. Read more

Bud Light Meeting Super Bowl Commercial is best Beer Ad

Topic:

Bud Light Meeting Super Bowl Commercial is best Beer Ad Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review Anheuser-Busch aired several Bud Light Super Bowl ads yesterday. The Bud Light Meeting is beating apparently the Conan O'Brien Bud Light Ad. At least on the Bud Bowl, the votes are very in favor for the Bud Light Meeting ad.
The reasons are understandable though. Who is not dreaming of a workplace where a bowl of ice cold Bud Light bottles is on the conference table during meetings? Meetings would be something to look forward again.
It would even be a better dream with a real beer, but I would take the Bud Light during Meetings. Read more

Topic:

Denny's Super Bowl 2009 Commercial is Super Hilarious Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review Denny's Super Bowl 2009 Commercial is hilarious after watching it 3 times. This one really builds up slowly, but then comes in unstoppable full force. I still have to laugh writing this.

Topic:

Coke Zero Mean Troy Super Bowl 2009 Commercial has 0 Calories Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review The Coke Zero Super Bowl 2009 commercial pays tribute to the all time Super Bowl Ad Classic Mean Greene Super Bowl Commercial, but did not quite live up to it.
Troy Polamalu has the mean looks, which makes him an ideal cast for this commercial. The "funny" twist of the Mean Troy ad did not deliver though. You can watch the full Coke Zero Super Bowl 2009 commercial below to judge yourself. Read more

Best Site to watch all Super Bowl 2009 Commercials

Topic:

Best Site to watch all Super Bowl 2009 Commercials Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review The Super Bowl 43 is over and the Steelers won again. Now that we have that out of our way we can focus entirely on the Super Bowl 2009 commercials. There are several sites including Youtube that have published the Super Bowl 2009 ads, but not all are complete and several (eg: Hulu, NBC) are blocking international viewers.
Many sites miss the cool movie trailers from the new Star Trek or Transformers movie. The best site to watch all Super Bowl commercials I found is the NFL site.

Popular Super Bowl Commercials Available to Watch on GridCast TV

Topic:

Popular Super Bowl Commercials Available to Watch on GridCast TV Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review It has always been strange to me that during the Super Bowl people actually like to watch commercials. Growing up when commercials came on we flipped channels. Today many people allow their DVRs to let them skip commercials. Yet commercials are often one of the biggest draws to watch the Super Bowl, at times more so than the teams playing.

If you are a big fan of the Super bowl for the commercials, alone GridCast TV has a new service that allows you to watch commercials from previous Super Bowls on your TV. Spots from brands like Budweiser, FedEX, Toyota, E-Trade, and Victoria's Secret are available. Read more

Heineken Super Bowl 2009 Commercial stars John Turturro

Topic:

Heineken Super Bowl 2009 Commercial stars John Turturro Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review Heineken hired charismatic actor John Turturro for their Super Bowl 2009 Commercial.
The Heineken "Give Yourself a Good Name" commercials are not necessarily funny, but kind of interesting. John Turturro for instance compares his bottle of Heineken to a sword, one that "should be wielded with honor... or cut yourself off" in the Super Bowl Ad.
What should we beer drinkers learn from this? I do not know yet. Maybe after a six pack of Heineken I will understand it. Watch the Heineken Super Bowl XLIII commercial below. Read more

The Victoria's Secret Super Bowl commercial stars super model Adriana Lima and that's all that was needed to make it number one.
According to Nielsen Media 103.7 million people saw last year's ad from Victoria's Secret. You would think the company is running a Super Bowl ad again this year, but apparently Victoria's Secret decided not to spend the money.
