Out of the Box Japanese Branded Cell Phone Commercial

by Jay GotPassport on July 20, 2011

Other than the product name, which gets lost in translation, this cell phone ad takes a different approach to selling its phone, with no mention of specs, or people screaming “It’s 4G!”  Enjoy!

AT&T Zero Charger

Did you know that just leaving your phone charger plugged into the wall is using energy?  Even when your phone isn’t attached?

Get this -  the daily electricity draw of mobile phone chargers that aren’t charging phones is enough to brew 3-4 million cups of coffee.  When I read that, I started thinking real hard about all the crap I leave plugged in, including my phone chargers, and how much that’s costing me on an annual basis.

Today was one of those days where I was just going to dismiss the message, but thought I’d better send a reply to maintain an evidentiary chain in the event my wife picked up my phone and saw the message: “Thinking about you. Love you.” [click to continue…]
