A little gift from by buds at DC (I know not the most popular here but this isn't TToE stuff) to my BFF Swordmaker -- proof I don't have a dog in the Apple/Wintel/Android wars.
I am looking forward to some good keywords :)

I guess I would not have thought of that hearing their slogan.
Many slogans are three-part little blurbs. Threes rhythm and tempo and size work in advertising.

I do think it interesting that the time on the clock is 9:30, i.e. not quite 10.

Microsoft has never been accused of marketing genius that I’m aware. That strange ad straight out of “Glee” with snapping Surface keyboards springs to mind.

Why is this at Darwin Central?
And why would anyone have “buds” at Darwin Central, a hot bed of liberal antiChristianism and scientifically illiterate (though they feel knowledgable and sophisticated) atheism fanbois?
The dumbest of the dumb.

Maybe.
The campaign Coca Cola used to market Dasani in the UK was pretty disastrous. ("Bottled Spunk," "Can't live without spunk," "Overpriced tap water" & "Cancer-causing additive")

Actually, freedumb2003, this ping should be directed genteelly to DayGloRed.

It’s remarkable that no one caught the Nazi connection. It jumped out at me just seeing the picture and reading the captions.

The Hitler connection is far-fetched.
More relevant, maybe, is how the ad relates to Apple's famous "1984" spot.
The giant head on the screen says, "We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause," before it is shattered by the hammer the young woman throws.

Isn’t this the same as what Windows 8 and 8.1 were supposed to be and do?

The Chevy “NoVa” ad campaign in Central America was a pretty epic fail.
No va = “no go” in spanish

Please do not think of this as criticism, but it is a C O I K issue; Clear Only If Known.
This may be an issue of passing interest to some few people, once someone tells them about it, but the percentage of people who will understand and appreciate this through free association is miniscule. Good luck with it.
