This goes in the WTF category. When I lived in Kansas City, I got to go to a few games and the crowd was “energized” but not out of control. The standing up fans was not an issue at all.

Unless something happened in the last 3 years, I really don’t see what the problem is that needs a code-of-conduct. This is not tennis, it’s American Football.

Even better, they are using the stealthy technology of text-tattle on “Fan Code of Conduct”. So you can enjoy the game and rat on anyone that breaks the code. Now that screams sportsmanship and something the fans will love to embrace.

Next they will ask if you believe in evolution before entering the stadium…come on KC Chiefs, let the fans stay standing but textdrunk the bad seeds.

Wow, that is quite the video there. This reports on Chrysler’s offer to cap gas prices, which have skyrocketed to a whopping $3.63 in my area recently, to $2.99 a gallon. Of course they have their stipulations, but who doesn’t.

Microsoft has signed a world wide deal with Kia and Hyundai so their customers will have the ability to use voice commands to control a number of different features with the use of their in-car software. For already is in the contract with Microsoft, but theirs will expire in November.

T-mobile has already launched their 3G network in New York, but now they have announced that Seattle is the next lucky city to get their 4x faster download speed. The new network launch will take place this fall, so get ready you Seattleites.

I don’t know many Zune people, but there are some out there, and this should excite them. Microsoft Zune fans will soon have the ability to download popular t.v. shows directly to their Zune!! At $1.99 each you can get shows like South Park, Battle Star Galactica, Heroes and my favorite The Office.

Webby Awards took place and guess who are the winners! That is correct, buzz travels fast, but Colbert is the Webby Person of the Year for connecting to his fans using the Internet. Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas won Webby Artist of the Year for his music video supporting Barack Obama. A few others are

Paradise by the GoPhone Light

AT&T Cingular used to advertise their prepaid wireless phone plan, the GoPhone.

Why is it that AT&T sucks, but their commercials rock? I was less-than-blessed with AT&T’s internet and cable service and hated it. Luckily I’m out of that situation now, and I have less problems with internet connection loss. AT&T cannot seem to keep their internet connection going, but how is their dropped calls? They advertise the “less dropped calls than our competitors” bit, but do they actually drop less calls? I only drop like 5 calls a year on T-Mobile, tell me AT&T users, how many calls do your drop?

Here is an older AT&T commercial that we posted back in August, Cingular AT&T Dropped Calls | Meat Dept., but still is popular today. So rock on Meatloaf’s AT&T Paradise by the GoPhone Light.

These three chaps got together to make a gadget band using the Nintendo DS and the fine products by Apple.  The applications used are: iAno, Pocket Guitar and a game called Electroplankton for Nintendo DS.

Pretty neat so I posted, plus I had talked about the iAno yesterday.  These three consider themselves the first iBand, so challengers thinking they were first get out there and YouTube it!

Check out their homepage here.

American cars are hard to buy, I wish I didn’t feel that way but I do. The exterior design of the cars are usually average but it’s the interior and cheap looking materials that turns me off before I even start thinking about the technical quality and longevity.

This new 2008 Ford Focus has sparked my interest. The design seems solid (inside and out) and the gas mileage is good.

I just got back from a business trip and was given a Chrysler Sebring. The car itself was okay but the interior was total crap. In fact the interior was damn right plastic and hurtful. The armrest between the front seats had a hard plastic top that followed the angular design of the car style which ended with a point (made of the same plastic material of the rest of the car) that was positioned directly behind the automatic gear shift.

Every time I shifted, my elbow hit the point of the hard plastic point of the armrest, jabbing into my elbow. I even asked a business partner to sit in the car and see if it was me, it was not. It just reaffirmed my opinion of American auto making.

This view might be too judgmental. I shouldn’t base my opinion on one car, I have not been in the new 2006 Ford Focus but from the interactive elements I have seen online tonight, it looks far better than other American cars I have driven or sat in. They have also added the Microsoft SYNC technology which is damn cool.

So, I will give Ford and American cars a chance based on what I have seen in commercials and these interactive promotional spots pulled from Yahoo.

The design inside and out seems to be better than most American designs. The 2008 Ford Focus web site does a very good job of showing off the car and its new design (inside and out).

Here is a “connected” commercial from Cisco but all I can remember from it is the Asian girl.

She is in and the commercial makes it sound like Cisco is the unified company of all communications, which I doubt.

Regardless of that, great casting.

I have posted several of the new iPhone commercials over the past two or three weeks, so here is another one.  This one involves an impatient pilot who did not want to sit and wait for a storm that had already passed their location.  Agreeable, I hate waiting for flights too, so thank you Mr. Pilot for whipping out your iPhone in a time of crisis.

iPhone Street Commercial | Visual Voicemail

In a world of technology being connected is one of the top necessities.  A blogger for a website called The Winger stays connected to her website with her iPhone.

Personally I like this commercial more out of the others shown so far because it brings actual work into it, not just businessmen or a guy forgetting a name.

I was looking into an iPhone, not just because it is a neat tool to have but also to keep up with websites that I cannot get on my current phone, such as this one.

Apple’s new idea was to ask real people about their iPhones instead of having paid actors do the talking. This iPhone owner talked about his voicemail and how innovative it is. The visual voicemail allows you to see who left the voicemail before you listen to it in case you really do not care what the person has to say. Or at least that is what he uses it for, “Guy that owes me money, message is four minutes long, obviously it is a story about how is isn’t going to pay me. Skip it.”

At first my response is I hate texting anyway but now I can talk my text, that is doubly stupid, or is it.

I understand the “want and reason” for texting, I also understand that I’m not the demographic that has adopted it as a main staple of quick communication.

So I decided to read on and see if I can educate myself of why Hands-Free Texting is needed. Well, it certainly isn’t needed but the application from Yap could be useful to texting fans.

Instantly send text messages…just by talking!

Why did we create this? Did you know that 66% teens text while driving? How does it work? Yap9?, our very lightweight client, connects to Yap’s advanced server platform where we do all of the speech recognition magic. One day (soon) you’ll be able to “yap” all your friends without hurting yourself because of your cell’s tiny keypad. Please register and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s available for your carrier/mobile. Thanks!
