Huawei to Unveil Smart Ring, Smart Watch — But Not at CES

Many device makers are showing off smart watches this week at the International Consumer Electronics Show. But after CES, Chinese hardware manufacturer Huawei will unveil an even smaller wearable device.

Huawei will announce a smart ring and smart watch at next month’s Mobile World Congress in Spain, said Huawei’s VP-device marketing Shao Yang in an interview.

Mr. Yang declined to provide details regarding how the devices will work or when they will be available in market. Neither device is on display at Huawei’s CES booth as the brand is instead touting its smartphone and tablet line.

Y&R Ex-Chairman Ed Ney Passes Away

edneyyrWell, we got forwarded another memo that’s been confirmed legit sent to Y&R staff from CEO David Sable, who’s sent the sad news that chairman emeritus Ed Noonan Ney, who’s been with the agency in various stints since 1951, has passed away at the age of 88. Here’s the memo we got today.

“From David Sable (Y&R)
This morning we received the very sad news that Y&R’s former chairman Ed Ney passed away.
Many of you know him and worked with him. Many more of you simply know how legendary he was in the business.
Ed served as Y&R’s CEO and then Chairman from 1970 to 1989, having joined the agency in 1951.
In the 1970s, Ed was the first to understand that in a changing marketplace our clients would benefit from a full range of marketing communications disciplines. He began acquiring companies, pioneering integrated communications – what he called The Whole Egg back then – and  acquired the companies that became Young & Rubicam Group.

It was a radical concept and transformed not only our agency but the entire industry.

After Y&R, Ed served as the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, where he played a key role in efforts to expand the U.S. – Canada Free Trade Agreement to Mexico. He spent some time after at Burson-Marsteller, chairing their worldwide Board of Advisors.

But we were delighted in 1999 when we persuaded him to come back to our building as Y&R Chairman Emeritus, where he has remained as an inspiration and friend to so many of us.

Can You Spot the BS Headlines in This Clickbait Quiz?

With so many clickbait headlines flooding social media these days—promising to blow your mind, make you cry or change your life forever—have we reached a point where people will literally believe anything?

That's the question behind Headlines Against Humanity, a quiz that asks you to guess which of two Upworthy-esque headlines is real. Here's a sample comparison: "A Three-Hour Orgasm Sent This Woman to Hospital" versus "New Study: Apricots May Help Cure Glaucoma." (Spoiler alert: The orgasm was real.)

The quiz, named in a clear homage to popular game Cards Against Humanity, was created by the team at CentUp, a sort of tip jar/share button combination that lets readers give a few pennies to their favorite websites, which split the contribution with a charity.

In explaining Headlines Against Humanity, CentUp says it wanted to highlight the silly, often-disingenuous approach many sites now take in repackaging vapid content to get maximum clicks.

"Clickbaity headlines are taking over the Web. Today, publishers make more money from quantity than quality. They're incentivized to manipulate lots of people into clicking on a headline instead of getting engaged readers," CentUp stated. "The average pageview today is worth .003 cents. Maybe instead of paying this minuscule amount for crap we don't really care about, we give a few cents to stuff that we do?"

Ads for Comedy Central’s Kroll Show Imagine the Dumbest Awards Show Ever

With those saucy Two Broke Girls hosting and a category that pits the Bible against Sharknado, the People's Choice Awards, airing live Wednesday night on CBS, should be a hoot. No, not really. It'll be a snoozefest. For a much more entertaining time, check out the Kroll Choice Awards, a Comedy Central-produced set of digital promos hyping the Jan. 14 second-season return of sketch comedy-based Kroll Show.

The videos feature star-writer-producer Nick Kroll's coterie of ridiculous characters in a glitzy awards show setting, complete with a J. Law tumble up the stairs, lord-and-savior shout outs, prodigious bling and false modesty. The cable channel execs said they wanted to trot out as many Kroll creations as possible, like gigolo Bobby Bottleservice and white-trash homie C-Czar, treating the characters' shows-within-a-show like award-worthy contenders. Alas, their statues are only make-believe.

Kroll Show, known for its star cameos, will continue its relationship with Hollywood's honored crowd in Season 2 with the likes of Amy Poehler, Will Forte, Seth Rogan, Lizzy Caplan and Zach Galifianakis.
