samsung logos show up on every imaginable electronic device. they even have characters hold an android phone close to the camera with a silver samsung logo. samsung laptops in the whitehouse

at the same time, you have un-branded phones with a prominent windows-phone UI getting the same closeup. at one point point where there are windows phone ui overlays on screen, over the actors

why have one cack-handed marketing placement when you can have two

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

i like microsofts failures because the chain of incompetence and meddling behind each one is both funny and obvious. with hp or something you can just say "everyone involved was an idiot" and move on, but microsoft is a system expressly dedicated to preventing competent people from making anything work right, and it didn't always used to be that way

apple products are close enough to m2 money at this point that the surreptitious leaving behind of the demo units is enough to make execs, cast and crew happy and also saves the production the familiar work of shoveling gratis samsung handsets into a 55 gallon drum for later burning

a non-payment paid placement process which will intensify when they get rolling out the $10k gold watches next quarter

So why aren’t other vendors seeking Microsoft’s advice? It’s not entirely clear, but it’s possible OEMs are concerned about retaining competitive advantages. For example, Nash said during testing of the Spectre x360, a bug was found in how TPM was addressed by the OS. The fix didn’t just benefit HP, but all PC makers. If an OEM had found such a bug by itself, it could keep it quiet as a unique performance benefit.

the article's age is irrelevant, but they seem to have come to that conclusion from here: http://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/Marketing-chief-gives-glimpse-into-Apple-3761800.php

quote:

Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller testified Friday that the company counts on free press coverage and products placed in film and television shows, sometimes over pricey advertising, to promote its devices to users.

tbf without reading his actual testimony its not really clear whether or not he means just free press coverage or both that and free product placement, but its something i've been hearing for decades so i wouldn't be surprised if it were true

i thought it was funnythat the show veronica mars had tons of apple poo poo in it in the mid 00s and even a character named "mac" who actually railed against linux in a brief nerd soliloquy and then a few years back samsung sponsored the low budget reunion movie and every single bit of tech was samsung.. except the mac character was still in it and they had to call her mac cuz thats her name lol.

I pointed this out to the wife once in an episode of parks and rec where the windows 8 / phone placement was particularly egregious. she said she didn't notice and assumed it was a fake phone and didn't recognize the logo on the laptops (it was the Microsoft logo)

now that i think about it, fully functioning adults may not be the target audience for product placement. maybe all the phone/pc product placement is intended for yospos types.

auto product placements for idiot car guys

dell or sony names on the monitor in a movie's hacking scene associates the brand with cool hacking computers for smart people, which is fairly subtle for people who don't care about computers. having the windows logo on a monitor, a thing that doesn't exist and normal people don't recognize, doesn't do anything for anyone except aggravate nerds
