To get you in the Super Bowl mood.

Better get used to these silly commercials now. There will be a lot more come Feb 5.

I only hope my Super Bowl party will be as cool as the one in this Tostitos commercial.

Apple's answer to the printed textbook.

In this video Apple unveils new technology and essentially a new way of learning for students. 2-D illustrations are now interactive videos. Lessons now can be instantly written and cutomized by the teacher for the student to access. History comes alive and engages students in a whole new way.

However, you have to feel for the kids who still use old-school textbooks. Studying hard, schlepping heavy bookbags, fumbling around with pads of paper and cumbersome pencils. Now they’re getting made fun of by Apple.
Ironic, huh - 40 year-old software engineers think they’re dorky.

And I was a little surprised with all the shots Apple was taking at the textbook. Especially when the Apple folks call textbooks "expensive" and "immediately outdated". Uh, ever owned an Apple computer? Pot, meet kettle.

Poor textbook. We will miss you. Tell the record album and land-line phone we said hi.

The Dog Side of the Force

If you like dogs and Star Wars, you'll love Volkswagen's new commercial. It's a follow up to last years tour-de-force featuring the little kid dressed as Darth Vader.
