What were
the top ten viral video ads in 2008? Check
out this list from The Feed Company
Every
day we get bombarded with thousands
of commercial ads. Most we ignore
but some catch our eye. These ads
are more than just traditional
product pitches – they entertain and
occasionally inspire. From the
political to the faux-authentic to
the controversial, these video ads
draw big audiences online and are
changing the way advertising is
created and marketed.

Apple recently refreshed their entire
MacBook product line – which includes the
MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air – with
new designs and higher horsepower hardware.
The aluminum unibody design, used on the
majority of the new Macs, is cut from a
brick of solid aluminum. This results in a
stronger, more durable notebook, while at
the same time reducing the computer's
weight. You really have to handle one of
these machines to appreciate the leap that
Apple has made with manufacturing; they
simply feel more solid than any other
notebook that I've handled.

The
New Sony HDR-FX1000 HD Camcorder Delivers Cinematic
Film-Look for Amateur Videographers
Camcorders are powerful tools for capturing
family memories and for use in journalism
and filmmaking, but unfortunately they're
not the best-equipped devices for recording
clear sounding audio. When family members or
film subjects speak to your camera, it
doesn't take long to realize that the
built-in microphones are inadequate at
picking up dialog clearly. Since being able
to understand what is being communicated is
just as important to your audience as the
picture quality, it's a good idea to upgrade
your camera microphone.
