Apple MacBook Air Commercial – Catchy Song

The marketing geniuses at Apple have done it again ! 🙂

From the second I saw & heard the MacBook Air commercial I felt that I knew the background song.

Well I finally realized that I did – it was a song from the French-Israeli singer Yael Naim (iTunes Album, official site). I had heard the song a few times on 102fm Tel Aviv.

Video roundup: Crysis Physics demo, Homeboy Chanukah, and “Here comes another bubble”

Three great videos to share today.

The first, is demo footage from upcoming game called Crysis. It shows off a pretty amazing physics engine. This game and a few others may get me back into PC gaming one of these days:



The next video is called Homeboy Chanukah, and is simply hysterical. My buddy Tom who runs the film company New York Street Films created this video:

And lastly, Kara Swisher just blogged about a new video called “Here comes another bubble” sung to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Pretty funny and well produced:

NewTeevee event @ the Pier: Citizen News

newteeveeI had the pleasure of attending NewTeeVee’s Citizen News event the other day, and I came away super impressed. The GigaOm team really knows how to put on a great event with the right mix of content, interesting judges, a good crowd and spot-on sponsorships that really ad value to the event.

The topic centered around citizen journalism/news and showcased several video clips that were later voted on by the audience ( via SMS ).

You can see all the videos here — but I wanted to highlight two in particular that really stood out for me, and turned out to be voted on #1 and #2 respectively by the crowd.

The first video was an installment from the “Alive in Baghdad” series, “Sectarian Violence is a Daily Experience”. Really compelling content, and unfiltered in a way that conveys maximum information and clarity. For all the mentos diet coke content out there (which rocks!), it’s great to also see truly powerful journalism being done by a small group of individuals who have the power of online distribution. (More great investigative journalism highlighted recently in a post by Marhsall Kirkpatrick)

The second video is called “Bodega”. It was very well produced and instantly genuine — to the point that I felt like I jumped back to new york, and was grabbing a yoohoo after a yankees game !
