It's common knowledge that when PC makers use an AMD processor in a system--especially in the performance PC category --they do so to reduce the overall cost while building a desktop that can still compete against models carrying the best that Intel has to offer. With that in mind, you might find...

Does Apple Belong in the Enterprise?
My Apple journey started as a test of whether and when Apple hardware and software had a place in a mostly-Windows corporate world. In the year since, I've come to appreciate computer systems that just work, and my switchover has been eased by products such as Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition. With that said, however, Mac desktop and notebook systems are still a departmental, not an enterprise, concern for IT managers. - 2010 will start my second year as a daily Mac user in a Windows-oriented
world. I think my aluminum-skinned charges will thrive in the coming year
despite clinging to a fat-client model I associate more with the past than the
future.
Apple's style, design and functionality are big inducements f...
Managing Smartphones in Your Business
Over the last decade, smartphones have evolved from relatively simple mobile communications devices to robust palm-sized computing platforms that have transformed travel time from a loathsome efficiency drag to a productive part of any workday. Workers can now go more places with less downtime. But...

Apple iPhone Is Rising High in the Enterprise
Apple shipped 8.3 million units of its iPhone in Q1, helping the company to its $3.38 billion profit. Apple COO Tim Cook said on the Q1 earnings call Jan. 25 that business use of the iPhone doubled since the release of the faster iPhone 3GS last summer. Cook said roughly 70 percent of Fortune 100 companies are testing or using iPhones as their corporate communications device, thanks largely to support for Microsoft Exchange. This sets the stage for the iPhone's assault on RIM's BlackBerry, analysts believe. - Apple doubled in the first quarter the number of iPhones it sold in the first quarter from a year ago, shipping 8.3 million
units of the world's most popular smartphone and pushing the company to its
$3.38 billion profit.
But don't think those devices all went to teenagers and soccer moms. Yes,

Peperami - "Gump" / first crowdsourced ad after split with Lowe
So, here it is. The first Peperami ad after Unilever left Lowe. The previous Peperami ads in the archive are all claymation, which brings a certain charm to the nutty animal that is immediately lost in this 3D, IMHO. I think the director of most Claymation ads, Ken Lidster, might agree.
This ad was conceived and scripted by Rowland Davies, an ex-creative director from Munich. He submitted a joint entry with Kevin Baldwin, a copywriter from London, who came up with a poster treatment of the crazy animal-kids to go with it. Their joint effort beat out 1,185 entries and won the $10,000 prize handled by crowdsourcing specialist Idea Bounty. The 30 second ad will air on ITV1 during 'Coronation Street' on 23 August.
Lowe handled the Peperami campaign for Unilever for 15 years before they split last August.
The new agency, BPL, think crowdsourcing is the best thing since sliced bread: "Innovative, hybrid working methods like this will open the door for the lower cost smaller agencies who are used to collaborating successfully with other agencies." says Emma Hughes, the managing director.
