Consumer Watchdog in the United States is behind this cartoon parody video of Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt. The video makes it clear that nothing is free and even though the kids does get “free” ice cream, they’re actually paying by giving up information about themselves. Sound familiar…?

If there’s one thing I hear all the time about making an income with video, it’s that it’s too HARD. Too time-consuming, difficult, expensive… Listen up friend: THAT IS SO 2005! 🙂 Take Gideon Shalwick for instance. He cranks out cool videos pretty much as fast as he can think.

Chatroulette. I tried it out once when I first read about it in an online newspaper. It didn’t take me many minutes before I saw certain things I will never forget (but I wish I could), and I haven’t been back there since – and I’m not going to, either, as I was just curious … Read more →
I don’t watch that many Microsoft TV ads. Maybe because they’re mostly shown in the US or UK? I rarely see them where I watch TV, but every now and then, Microsoft release an ad that’s so bad it’s a must-see. Like the one with Microsoft Songsmith. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can … Read more →

Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, turned 55 yesterday. Happy Birthday, Steve! I hope you didn’t get a Magic Mouse though 🙂 Because of Steve’s birthday this week, I want to dedicate this Friday Flick Find to him. Well, to his “jokes”, that is.
