Check out Laughing Squid for the latest critique of Apple and AT&T:
“T-Mobile goes after AT&T in their new myTouch 4G “Piggyback” commercial, which is a parody of Apple’s popular “Get a Mac” ads.”

Harsh: Apple’s iPhone Gets Pwned by T-Mobile – AT&T Service Personified in an Unfavorable Light
Thursday, November 4th, 2010San Francisco Enjoys a Lunchtime Skydiving Demonstration, Courtesy of T-Mobile
Thursday, August 6th, 2009As promised, our corporate overlords at T-Mobile put on a spectacle over Justin Herman Plaza yesterday afternoon. See some photos here and here.
The mise-en-scene:

Ooh, doubles!
The San Francisco Bay Bridge:
In front of the Ferry Building. But why the codpiece?
A skillful landing…
…and a less skillful landing:
How will Radio Shack (aka “The Shack”) top this today? The Summer NetTogether starts today in Justin Herman, and New York, apparently. Let’s hope local ad firm Butler Shine and Stern doesn’t alienate people with their new campaign. (Remember the one they had before?)
Anyway, T Mobile promised a show and they delivered.
Our Corporate Overlords are Set to Launch 100 Parachutists Today at Noon
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Birth, School, Work, Death – that’s what Life is about, can you dig, man. But our corporate overlords don’t want you to figure that out, so they’re always offering “free” fun events to distract you from the Truth, man. As today, when the T-Mobile phone company, the one with Catherine Zeta-Jones (once again) is providing a lunchtime spectacle over San Francisco that will keep you distracted and on the edge of your seat, so long as you are seated near Justin Herman Plaza, Marina Green Park, Pier 39, or the Moscone Recreation Center:
“Along with fly-by jets and skywriting, 100 skydivers dressed as “unique personalities” will parachute in synchronized formations over San Francisco as a promotion for T-Mobile. The 100 skydivers will land at four locations around The City.”
Here’s a look at preparations near the Ferry Building in Justin Herman Plaza. Everything’s going to be big big big:
Click to expand. But what looks like one giant monitor from the front is actually…
….a bunch of small monitors stacked on top of each other. What rip, man!
It’s the TR2010E TechnoRainbow indoor / outdoor monitor system from Toshiba. It’s mesmerizing. So clever, so tricksy.
Enjoy the show, starting at 11:15 AM, but really getting going just after noon.
And maybe you can get a free MyTouch 3G phone from them today, somehow. It will keep you distracted for months and years, or a lifetime, really.
See you there!
Been turned around till I’m upside down
Been all at sea until I’ve drowned
And I’ve felt torture, I’ve felt pain
Just like that film with Michael Caine
I’ve been abused and I’ve been confused
And I’ve kissed Margaret Thatcher’s shoes
And I been high and I been low
And I don’t know where to go
Birth, school, work, death
Birth, school, work, death
