If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email alerts. Thanks for visiting!UK has come up with a brilliant anti-terror strategy. I wonder why other countries are spending billions in other measures when all you had to do is ask. Terrorists are reasonable too, right? </snark> I’m wondering [...]

Terror Scarf
Only the right wingers see terror alerts in an ad for American coffee. The fashion police, literally.

Customizing Viewing Ads
Since I’ve been fiddling around at the backend of this blog in midst of revamping the look, I managed to clean up my plugins directory. Although WordPress by itself is a robust blogging engine,the availability of plugins helps enhance the experience and extend its capabilities. One of the plugins that I installed is PlanetOz’s Who [...]

Jingle Mein Mingle
The age of advertising jingles is unfortunately past us and current advertising campaigns merely use soundtracks from established recording artistes. Sometimes advertisers may choose to use relatively unknown soundtracks like in the ads by Apple or Geico which in turn boosts the song’s popularity. But using original ad jingles have declined even to the extent [...]

Hatichya Marie
I love this Marie ad in Marathi [hat tip: Sampada]. It has a distinct Marathi flavor, complete with one of our favorite exclamations – hatichya maari (a kinda damn it!) What’s more, Shah Rukh Khan is now spreading his endorsement tentacles in the regional markets as well. Poor Ashok Saraf! Who’ll pay attention to his [...]

A New Year Hungama
Seen outside a hotel next to the one we were staying at. No reports yet on any women molested outside this hotel. But so many conflicting messages especially the one that says – Tease your Hubby – simply boggle the mind. Feel free to add your comments. We were mostly speechless.

Google puts Parrot fortune teller out of business?
Since Patrix is on a break, Abhishek & I have been asked to keep the blog alive. I am a social geek (apart from being P’s brother) and will be writing about technology that affects each one of us. So please don’t expect any VLSI chip design post from me.
IndiCast receives a lot of visitors [...]

Blue Skies
This wonderful picture captured by Twilight Fairy reminded me of the song I last heard on the GE commercial (I think). Thanks to my awful memory, I couldn’t recall anything apart from Blue Skies but thanks to Google, the complete lyrics could be unearthed. Incidentally the song was the most popular one in 1929 especially [...]

User Interaction with Billboards
In an age where traditional media is desperate to hold on to old modes of communication with its readers, it is refreshing to see the Beeb doing something different. In these latest ads posted around New York, they display user votes on current controversial topics. You can send in your vote either through your [...]

Ask the Algorithm
I bet many of us have seen the Ask.com commercials touting the Algorithm. When I first saw the commercials, I instantly thought to myself that they are trying to emulate Google; not in terms of ousting them from the top of the search engine market but instead by focusing on the quality of searches.
Google’s now [...]

Michael Cera is the only bright spark in an otherwise listless comedy.
