NBC’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Slips 21% From Premiere


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Just because Sunday Night Football is over doesn't mean the night's prime time isn't about gamesmanship.

Samsung divulga SSDs com pornografia para geeks

Samsung SSD

A Samsung pediu para a sua agência pensar em um alguma coisa para divulgar os SSD (Solid State Drive) da marca. Mas no meio de tantas propostas péssimas de anúncios, um cara teve uma idéia melhor: criar pornografia para geek.

Construíram um supercomputador com 24 SSD’s instalados, totalizando 6 terabytes de capacidade. O resultado: uma máquina capaz de ler/gravar 2 gigabytes por segundo, abrir 53 programas em 18 segundos, ripar um DVD mais rápido do que jogá-lo pela janela.

Ao demonstrar a performance de seu produto de maneira lúdica e divertida, a Samsung vem virando notícia em diversos veículos especializados. Confira no vídeo abaixo, e se tiver coragem, ainda mostram o que é necessário para construir o super PC:

Terminator: Salvation | Game

“Terminator: Salvation”, ou seja, “O Exterminador do Futuro 4″ estréia nos EUA no dia 27 de maio (5 de junho no Brasil), e como se o chilique do Christian Bale já não fosse o bastante para divulgar o filme, a Sony/Columbia Pictures investiu em um game multiplayer online.

Criado pela Big Spaceship, o jogo permite que você escolha de qual lado lutar: máquinas ou humanos. O objetivo é destruir o inimigo, um outro jogador online, antes que ele faça o mesmo com você.

Muito bem produzido e graficamente impressionante para um game que funciona no browser, sem nenhum tipo de instalação necessária, mas ainda assim pesado para a pífia conexão brasileira.

Segundo Michael Lebowitz, CEO da Big Spaceship, a intenção do projeto é agradar também os gamers hardcore, e não só os casuais. E ainda que não atinja nem de perto o nível de um jogo de console atual, que tenha pelo menos energia, engajamento e experiência visceral parecidas diretamente na web.
