RIM Proof of Concept

This is an interesting proof of concept being demoed by RIM. It’s certainly not practical at the moment – requiring an overhead camera means it only really works in mobile/fixed testbeds – but it is cool. The next step, beyond building buzz of course, is to figure out how to make this kind of technology useful to the consumer. Still, it’s good to see RIM demoing the ‘cool stuff’ they’ve been privately researching. Hopefully we see more of these kinds of demos in the future to build a rebuild the beleaguered company’s public image.

OK GO and Advertise to Me

I had no idea that OK GO’s recent video was largely a sponsored ad for the car they’re driving.

I also don’t care, because:

  1. I had no idea what the car was until I read an analysis of the video;
  2. It’s just (to my mind) another ridiculously awesome music video from this band.

I’m willing to sit through the ‘ad’ on the basis that the ‘brand’ of the car is non-obtrusive: it’s just a particular vehicle (pardon the pun) to deliver a really cool cultural experience.
