Windows 8 Prank

One of the coolest things about Windows 8 are the Live Tiles. Microsoft thinks so too so they created a prank that involved a light up floor tile (think Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean) and a collapsing wall. Probably set-up but fun anyway by McCann Oslo and via Gizmodo

Sneaky Vodafone books

Aussies LOVE cricket. Vodafone Australia has launched a new campaign for cricket lovers across the nation. Go to the site and order a ‘book’ or download a cover for a book and you instantly have a cover for your mobile phone to ‘pretend’ you are doing something super useful, when in fact you are actually watching the cricket. Nice idea from Scott Mortimer and Wellison D’Assuncao at Ogilvy in Sydney. Read more…

Guest poster Simon van Wyk (founder of HotHouse).

I’ve always wanted to go to South by South West (SxSW) and finally got an opportunity to attend, courtesy of an application my agency, Hothouse, developed for Tablets.  As many industry people know, SxSW started life as a music festival but for many years has also included streams for the film and interactive industries.

The first advergame you can play vs. your cat

You can now play air hockey against your cat. At SXSW Purina presented a new iPad game where (human) players have to fight for a bowl of animated Friskies cat food, battling against their very own cats. The idea of advergames for cats isn’t new, as Purina launched last year the first series of tablet games for cats only, however a digital challenge between humans and cats is probably the innovation many of us have been waiting for for ages (you know this comment is meant to be ironic, don’t you?).
