Seinfeld Gates Commercial

What the hell was that TV commercial? I heard something was going to be coming out to "counter"(?) popular whimsical Apple commercials. I just saw the this latest Seinfeld /Gates commercial. Seinfeld is trying to get Gates interested in shoes (I have not idea why ). Seinfeld recommends wearing the shoes in the shower (what the hey?). Seinfeld and Gates then go walking in the street. There is some talking of something consumer oriented but nothing more. I am sure there were will more commercials like this but all I can say is "WHY?"

Some artists do not buy into the iTunes store

Wall Street journal has an interesting article about some artists do not sell on the iTunes store as they do not like the policy of selling along hits from albums. Apple keeps 30% of the sales (I thought it was more) whether it is one song or an album. Some like the Eagles are placing their current album through Walmart. This musically chess came goes on

Mac on 60 Minutes Dennis Quaid

I had heard that the movie star Dennis Quaid remarried and they had twins but something happened to them. On 8/24/2008, the movie star with his wife at his side, told the agony that there twin boys were given a 1000 times dose of blood thinner which put them in extreme peril. In this piece on 60 minutes, they went on to find that overdosing has occurred in similar cases in other hospitals but little was done. Two similar bottles of the blood thinner were similar in size. Each also had blue titling strips around them one darker blue then the other but still easy to mistake.
Quaid and his wife were trying to lead a campaign to have better labeling on bottles so more careless mistakes would not kill, injure or cause harm to patients. While they were showing what they were doing to help promote this campaign, the TV showed Quaid looking at his Mac laptop (not sure what kind ?).
The drug industry did not seem to think much of it and while the hospitals were listening to concerns it does not seem that they will be doing much either.
Be careful out there

The Apple (& the Google) of most people eyes

Kansas City Star has a interesting article ( D1) about Google and Apple all in one. Its about customer satisfaction polling and rating from the University of Michigan Customer Quality Relations Center. On a 100 point scale Apple is 85/100 (next is Dell with 75). Other computer makers dropper satisfaction while Apple was up from 79.
The rise is do to carry over from people buying ipods and the new iPhones and people being driven off my Vista. Computers are the new "Swiss Army Knife" while the laptops are becoming more prized.
