Apple's Iphone 4 advertising system fails
Found on The Inquirer on Monday, 16 August 2010
When Apple's sultan of spin Steve Jobs proudly proclaimed that the Iphone 4 would come with adverts that did not "suck", delivered through the company's Iad software, fanbois everywhere starting foaming at the mouth at the prospect of having yet more propaganda to happily swallow.
Jobs offered up the enticing prospect of advertisers taking over the whole device, with fanbois taken into a world of mesmerising glitz and marketing fluff, if they weren't there already.
Of course no adblockers would be allowed I guess. Paying lots of cash for a big brother device and having ads is a bad combo.
