Random Ass News Links of the day (8/4/2010)


Okay so you know how last month I took a bunch of interesting stories in the news that day and wrote my opinions of them? I like doing that randomly. Except the last one was titled Random News Stories From Around The Web With Commentary Blah blah blah.. Worst title in the history of blogging. So I present to you, my new segment Random-ass news links of the day (this week, literally ass links – SFW). So enjoy:

Nike’s New Ad Campaign is Legit – This is why advertising works. If you want me to fall for your product, just throw a bunch of nice asses in my face and I’m sold. I’m more of a New Balance guy in the sneaker department, but because of that ad, I’m actually on my way to Modells right now writing this from mobile to get a pair of new Nike kicks. And they weren’t even advertising sneakers. With all due respect, Reebok was into the whole ass commercial thing first.

Google Abandons Wave – Good. I’m all for Google and like their shit, but there was absolutely no point of Google Wave. between GMail, Docs (in realtime) and Google Chat, you don’t need an extra tool for people to log in to. I waited a year to get an invite and when I finally got one, it was the most useless thing ever.

Android Is Number 1 – In Q2, Android was the top selling OS, with. It has grown 886% since Q2 last year. Apple fanboys response? “We have one device you have many” Kind of doesn’t help that you only have one carrier too… AT&T sucks.

Hmm thought I had more links. Oh well. Those will do
