Among many campaigns that has been running for several years (and has been spread out across generations), the great 'Got Milk?' campaign is one that I really adore.
 
The choice of font used, the iconic 'mustache', the photo ambiance; the entire layout's position and texture, the elegant wordings, the chic/aesthetic design of the entire 'system' makes the entire campaign message's interesting, fascinating, eye catching, great, clear and awesome to watch.
 
This campaign ad is probably one of the best series of campaign ad ever created, after the excellent VW Beetle campaign ad (by Bernbach) and Apple/Mac Think Different campaign ad, in the past.
 
Here's a glance preview of how the "Got Milk' campaign ad feels, and looks like:

Seems through its messages Apple really able to entice people to remember and consider its line of product during this holiday session.
 
From iPod to iPhone to MacBook, to iMac, Apple had all these fascinating line up of products to grab.
 
Within 10 years, Steve Jobs has really done a great job of reviving Apple back, and make it once again the de facto leader in both marketing, design and product innovation (software + hardware + services).
 
For all of what he had done, Steve Jobs is truly magically awesome!

These infographics do one thing perfect: it translate complex verbal information into visual digestable piece. Through reading the combined text and picture, people can grasp the idea better.
This is definitely better than reading 120 pages of manual, which -- essentially -- explain the same thing. :-P

Blackberry Ad indeed is exciting. Although I would personally rather opt for iPhone or G1 phone ... as my phone.

The wait is over. Those that live overseas can still buy G1 Developer Edition now.
There'd be one-time setup fee of $25. The device will cost $399 (free shipping in the States).
For G1 developer only for this time ... but still .. Yikes! It's seriously cool approach!

The Romulans attack the Federation for they can’t read the Peace Treaty sent to them in Word 2307 format… they only have Word 2303. A hilarious cartoon by Geek and Poke. Joke? Perhaps … or not.
 
How many files, documents and paper that you composed during your university days (or a couple of years ago), which now -- suprisingly -- become unreadable?
How many files, documents and paper that you compose today (which you already keep, backup, copy, store very very carefully these days) yet -- unexpectedly -- would/might/may become unreadable soon (or later into the future) ??
 
This is exactly the reason why open document format (ODF) is important. ODF ensure content can be read, no matter when, where and what type of tool you use to create it. It ensure content can be read no matter what type of tool you use to read it -- today, and into the future.
In that retrospect, that's where OpenOffice becomes relevant and important. It ensures ownership of the content (and its format) belongs back to the user, and not being 'proprietarily trapped' inside the silos of particular companies, nor company.
 
OpenOffice fully embrace ODF concept since day 1. Microsoft Office until today is not. People need to make the right strategic choices in regards with such. It's people that shall be the owner of their digital content, at all time. Never companies, nor company, after all!
 
It's content -- not tools -- that is really important, and truly matters.
