I’ve been after this track for ever, it was deleted ages ago so is well hard to get hold of. But here it is on youtube with a load of other old skool classics. Totally G-A-Y.

Intel ad placement, originally uploaded by simiant.
While I was at McCann one of the big Global campaigns that went through was Multiply for Intel. Last week in a cinema in Greenwich I saw this stunning placement and sniggered.
An amazing sounding Technology Mall in Shenzhen, China. Photos here. Ooh look, there are some videos on You Tube too, it looks awsome, if you’re that way inclined. Also check out the bizarre cross shaped MP3 players in this picture
As I first step foot into the building, I am assaulted by a whirlwind of electronic components. Tapes and reels of resistors and capacitors, ICs of every type, inductors, relays, pogo pin test points, voltmeters, trays of memories, all crammed into tiny six-by-three foot booths with a storekeeper poking away at a laptop, sometimes playing Go, sometimes counting parts. Some booths are true mom-and-pop shops, with mothers tending to babies and kids playing in the aisles.

See my review below . It sucks. kthnxbai
So over the next few weeks I’ll be reviewing O2 Mobile Broadband on my Mac. Initial impressions are ok, though as I haven’t actually left the office yet I’m only getting GPRS speeds I think. Anyway if anyone is interested the modem supplied is a Novatel mc930D which will support download speeds over HSDPA/HSUPA up to 7.2mb…. when O2 get round to rolling it out. As per usual the instructions supplied are ok, however I found the actual Novatel product support page more useful. Will also try it under XP / VM Ware on the Mac using the O2 Connection Manager.
Update 1: So all I can get anywhere is GPRS….
Update 2: So no 3G anywhere in London or down the M4 corridor or Mid Wales. Spoke to tech support in wales to try and get it sorted. When he worked out that there was nothing he could really do to help, he told me that ‘Wi-Fi coverage was good in that area’? Wi-Fi coverage? Really? Anyway……
Back in London… went to Carphone Warehouse… Me: ‘This O2 mobile broadband you sold me… it’s shit’ CPW Manager ‘Right… what do you want me to do about it?’…. anyway. Got onto O2 Tech support again ‘Oh you need to put it into a PC and change the configuration’… me: ‘But I’m using a Mac’…. fuckwits.
Anyway, the long and the short of it. I tried it on various Mac’s. Mac’s running VM Ware / XP. Mac’s running Parallels / XP. Even uh fucking PC PC running fucking XP…… nothing ….. nada….. no 3G. GPRS only.
Took it back to the shop. Exchanged it. Now using a 3 dongle which is working beautifully (review to follow) thank you very much.
The moral of the story:
Dr Mr O2 Product Manager For Mobile Broadband: If you are going to support Mac’s, make sure you do, cos most Mac owners work in Marketing / Advertising / The Internet etc…. most of us have blogs etc. That means that we will probably write about our shite experiences of your products and tell people not to buy them. Oh look I just did… sigh.
For the meantime anyway, you can watch it here
Hurray. We are (retained) on the BBC’s Design Roster for Brand Strategy & Design Identity. w00t.
