Samsung Pays Apple $1 Billion In 5 Cent Coins. Hmm...

I'll quote from my favourite part of the article, "Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of 'geeks with style' and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it."

It's all about to get very, very fun for us. Thanks for the link, D-Wood. 

DAMN. IT'S A HOAX. WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME. OH WELL. 

 

The Society Of Good Taste. Hmm...

I really love this new campaign for Grey Poupon mustard. It's so delightfully and offensively clever. It's long been a "snooty" brand and now they've begun a society of their own, one where they decide who can join. Click here to see if you cut the mustard, so to speak. It's all pretty laughable really, considering Grey Poupn is actually made in, wait for it, Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania.  I know, right? Not exactly Dijon in France where it was first made in the 1700's... Which brings me to another point about the brand:  

The Voice-Activated Popcorn Machine. Hmm...

Best useless device ever. I want one.  

A Tumblr That Proves Why You Shouldn't Use Apple Maps. Ever. Hmm...




I just updated to iOS 6 and I have to say I'm a bit pissed off that Apple has forced their shitty Maps app on us, when it's clearly the furthest thing possible from ready. There's already a Tumblr site that proves this with hundreds of map screenshots from around the planet. Just not sure which planet.  

Hand Lettering To Bob Dylan. Hmm...


I could watch vids like these for hours...  

The Secret City Of London Part 2. Hmm...

A great follow-up to Part 1. Fascinating stuff. If you're into that sort of thing.  

The Coen Brothers' Latest Looks Awesome. Hmm...
