PPF: AMD say ‘touch my bottom’

Hello and welcome to PPF: Product Placement Fail. In this feature we will highlight failed bits of advertising by tech companies. Please feel free to send yours in to digixav at gmail dot com.

AMD, AMD, AMD. When will you learn? People will not buy your products if you creep them out.

We have come across this video on the AMD YouTube channel that is attempting to attract customers to their Vision chips that run up to 9.6 degrees fahrenheit cooler than body temperature. How do they do this? They get a laptop with a seductive voice to talk to you. Prepare to be freaked out by the minute long clip below.

Digixav around the web

The world is changing. Brands need to have large social presences these days and Digixav should be no exception. As such, I am reluctantly announcing that Digixav is now on the Book of Zuckerberg. There you may ‘Like’ us and get our posts and other insightful ramblings delivered straight to your news feed or something. Following us on Twitter will produce similar events but with random tangents from the mind of Henry and, more often, myself. Subscribing to our YouTube channel will let you see our videos before we embed them into exciting new posts and if you use Google+ then you can find us here. We might be heading to LinkedIn soon but who actually uses that?

Enjoy the social networking stuff!

It can read and write messages  for you, play songs at your request, give you directions in the USA and understand not just your words but what you mean as well. But Siri is known on the internet not for its functionality but for its hilarity. To see whether it actually worked and whether the iPhone 4S is a worthy upgrade Henry and I took a trip to the Apple Store. Watch our findings below.
