Marketing gone wild
It gets to a point that you have to go “What are these people thinking ?”
Take the Microsoft Zune for instance, this is a great device and does great things plus is getting traction. The problem is when you try to load an actual application for the Zune a 30 second clip of an ad will show up every time you run it. It just takes a little spoiler like that to ruin the whole experience.
I just cant imagine a table full of people sitting around Microsoft, saying hey, this 30 second clip running every single time you run an application is a great thing, it works for T.V. Its just hard to imagine there was not one guy there trying to talk sense into these people. There are good ways to embed ads and then there are the bad ways.
Its like the bad economy is bring out the crazy people trying to squeeze every last penny out of you. Well, i am here to tell you, we are not going to take it any more.

Now this camera, I would love to buy.
