As much as I can appreciate the Safari mobile browser on the iPhone, I still hate the fact that Apple refuses to make “real” ads without trying to cover up the slowness of the iPhone.

Well, as I told you about how iPhone is the biggest marketing scam ever, it seems like people are slowly starting to realize what I’ve predicted all along.

If above video isn’t proof of deceptive advertising than you must be either stupid or you’ve been whitewashed by Apple’s ads.  No matter what the case, you need to face the facts and that is no company in the U.S. is allowed to “lie” to the consumers, especially in a public commercial.

Look, all I want is the truth, I know iPhone 3G is still lagging behind Sprint and Verizon’s CDMA network so you don’t have to lie.

Next time, would you add “Time Elapsed” in the commercials so people know that it’s not really “blazingly” fast.

Heck, the iPhone 3G in the commercial is probably faster than my desktop landline LAN connection for god-sakes!

You are doing everything great Steve Jobs, just cut the bullshit out and we will keep lovin’ you.

Here’s and excerpt of False Advertising laws in the U.S. from Wikipedia:

Advertising is regulated by the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, a United States administrative agency, to prohibit “unfair and deceptive acts or practices in commerce.”^[3] While it makes laymen’s sense to assume that being deceptive is being unfair, deceptiveness in practice has been treated separately by the FTC, leaving unfairness to refer only to other types.^[4] All commercial acts may be deceptive, not just advertising, but noncommercial activity such as advertising for political candidates is not subject to prosecution under the FTC Act. The 50 states have similar statutes, which generally are very similar to that of the FTC and in many cases copied so closely that they are known as “Little FTC Acts.” While the terms “false” and “deceptive” are essentially the same for most, being deceptive is not the same as producing deception. What is illegal is the potential to deceive, which is interpreted to occur when consumers see the advertising to be stating to them, explicitly or implicitly, a claim that they may not realize is false and material. The latter means that the claim, if relied on for making a purchasing decision, is likely to be harmful by adversely affecting that decision. If an ad is implicitly false, evidence must be obtained for what consumers saw the ad saying, and for the materiality of that, and for the true facts about the advertised item, but no evidence is required that actual deception occurred, or that reliance occurred, or that the advertiser intended to deceive or knew that the claim was false.

Here’s an innovative way to market your keyboard.  Save money by not printing the characters and market them by telling people this empty keyboard will help you become a Touch Typist.

Lol…regardless, it’s a great product.

Their marketing statement:

Whether learning to touch-type or already a touch typist, within a few weeks, you will memorize the character locations and you will be touch-typing like a pro without looking at the keys. It works each and every time. If you want to take your typing skills to the next level, Das Keyboard Ultimate is the keyboard for you.

Okay, here’s another stupid video of iPhone 3G blending.  Obviously, this one blender company is using all kinds of new gadget devices to make people interested in their blender.

For most, it might be funny, but for a down-to-earth guy like me I think it’s really a big waste of money, time, and of course, a brand new iPhone 3G.  Why don’t these guys donate some money to the eco-friendly and green society instead of polluting the environment by blending electronics? (That’d probably get them more marketing than doing stupid blender crap)

Anyways, that’s my 2 cents on anything that you think it’s funny to blend new shiny gadgets.  I am sure not all of you’d agree with me but why would I blogging if I can’t speak my mind and truth?

Lol…this is a proof of how stupid people were back in the 80s.  Marketing is everything.

Well, people were probably too smart and this company probably went out of business.

Natuba is a photo sharing site for iPhone users. Looks like this targetted marketing could work but of course, there are many other online services that let you do the same thing Natuba does already. Too bad they didnt’ take care of tagging, a must in a new Web2.0 service. Regardless, you can tell us how well it works with your iPhone.

iPhone users with Natuba accounts can add their snapshots to the site by emailing them to a special address. Descriptions can be included in the subject line and all photos are injected into a public activity stream. They are also included on one’s profile page and are candidates for the “Surprise Me!” page that randomly displays one photo at a time from the site.

The idea and execution are simple, perhaps a bit too simple. There’s no tagging, not to mention no geotagging (which would be a natural feature for such a service, if only iPhones had GPS already). I’d like to see the site add rating capabilities so the community can surface the best snapshots. After all, highlighting the coolest little encounters from daily life should be the site’s main thrust; no one wants to sift through the mundane.

This is a good idea for businesses to use and possibly a great idea for a business. The Ping Pong printer prints all over the entire ball making it into a great piece of marketing material which can be used anywhere there is a table.

The ball is placed into the rotating holder and the words are sprayed on using ink droplets which builds up into a load of droplets and then a word, it looks great and can be very attractive.

Do you want to make money online by promoting a topic, start a blog, and get affilliate marketing revenues?(Check out JohnChow.com, he’s the best out there.  There’s also ProBlogger.net which is the best out there too run by the famous Darren Rowse. (for slightly different ideas, massive # of blogs)  (Honestly, it’s got 10% to do with trying to make money online and 90% with internet marketing.)

My good blogger friend John Chow (since last year when he gave me a linkback for the linkback contest) has found a video about his famouse status as an international online money maker. (He supposedly make over $10K a month just from his blog.

Anyways, he is very good at what he does (making money by talking about making money) but that’s not all. He’s blog is like a marathon between people exchanging new ideas on the fly. Anyways, I am trying create a buzz for JohnChow making a video response to Ian’s video.

this post made me do it.

Here’s a short clip of a cartoon that shows you how internet marketing and email spammers get people to order stuff they don’t need…

Lately, I’ve been indulging myself with a book called, Blog Marketing by Jeremy Wright.
It’s got some useful stuff for bloggers out there. (I recommend it)
While reading, Jeremy mentions something about micro$oft and how many results you can find about it on google.
So I tried it and as you can see, there’s more than a million stuff about Microsoft haters.
Well the point is, actually there is no point, I just wanted to try it and also promote Jeremy’s book.

U can get a glimpse of his book here.
