Apple aired their teaser ad for the Apple iPhone during the Oscars tonight. The ad has run multiple times during the Oscars.
The advertisement started with a collection of scenes from television and film with actors saying “Hello” on a telephone. The scenes are played in rapid succession, and the iPhone appears on the screen. Then a black screen with the words: “Hello” … then … “Coming in June” and finally an Apple logo.

Here’s something slightly off the topic:
I was talking to my dad about him replacing his troublesome PC with a Mac and he was saying he hadn’t seen any macs around in shops (he lives in the UK).
But then I mentioned the name Apple and he recognized the name and talked about the Apple symbol on the laptops etc.
This is telling me that even a 70 year old man has seen and recognize the Apple logo and name. Maybe this is why Apple is pushing that rather than the iPhone name.
The Apple symbol must now represent so much style and quality that all they need to do is put it in a commercial and everyone immediately pays attention.
Anyone knows how to get cheap broadband in the UK? My folks are using NTL and my dad is balking at paying 13 pounds a month for broadband.
“Hey “Stuart” do some fucking homework. There is no consensus… it’s all politics. Global warming caused my man is a joke… and for fucking gullible losers like you.”
As long as people think “it’s all politics,” there will be no consensus. For those of us who believe in reality (aka science) based on observable, testable data, the fact of global warming is clear. The only place you will read about a debate over global warming is in political articles. No scientific journal articles mention a controversy, because there is none among climate scientists.
(Ditto evolution.)
“This is telling me that even a 70 year old man has seen and recognize the Apple logo and name.”
Wow, a 70 year old man? And Apple has only been around for 30 years now. He must be pretty cutting edge! [/sarcasm]
Piss off Ron.
There is global scientific concensus on the matter of climate change – it’s happening and it’s caused by human activity.
“Global scientific consensus”? Yeah, right. Maybe according to spin-meisters and politicians. There’s no consensus among actual scientists. Certainly not among those who understand experimental design, data analysis, and basic statistics. Personally, I’m all for cutting pollution and fossil fuel usage, but not because of some junk political pseudo-science.
Here’s a clue by four — the actual studies that purport to show global warming are based upon computer models. You can only model something perfectly if you perfectly understand it. To say that we understand all the factors that determine climate, and then have understood them long enough to make long-range predictions, is a complete lie.
It doesn’t matter what the press says (they are not experts); it doesn’t matter what the U.N. says (they are certainly not experts); it does not matter what the journals say (they too have a viewpoint and a clique). Do you honestly believe that science itself is not political? Hey, who gets the grants is a ridiculously political process. Who determines what is printed is political. Who speaks where is political. So the truth is often concealed or pooh-poohed.
And “biting the bullet” economically is a joke, as well. You haven’t looked at Kyoto if you think it’s a matter of temporary belt-tightening. Also, you haven’t looked around you if you think that the U.S is *more* polluted than it was in, say, in 1910. It’s certainly cleaner than it was in 1945. It’s much better than it was in 1975. And each year it gets better still.
Why is there a sudden rush to condemn the U.S. as being a polluter only now? Because people are economically well-off enough to make a life out of scaremongering. It’s easy to hate the U.S. when the real problems are India, China, Russia, and other countries who don’t care — it costs nothing, makes you look good, and keeps avoiding the real problem.
Right on Bob! Global warming caused by man is complete BS and feel good politics. Obviously polution is bad but don’t buy the liberal hype and BS.
ron, you actually take yourself serious?
how in the world do you convince yourself
of such mindless incorrect drivel. you
consistently write the most ill-informed
paranoid posts.
what do you do for a living?

Quite being so self-centred and thinking the USA is the center of the universe. Cripes almighty we talk about the world in general. As as for my comment, I was referring pollution clean-up in general…not just greenhouse gases. We need to reduce, for example, atmospheric sulphur dioxide.
And to others, please stop with this liberal this and liberal that crap. It shows your ignorance. Lung tunors doon’t give a flying fsck about your political stance.
Apple is just whetting our appetites. We will continue to get details over the next few months. This is going to be a long campaign leading up to the iPhone’s introduction to market.

Great read
“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006. He used 20 times the amount of energy used in the average US home. Hypocritical bastard.
not you.
