Intel and Toshiba: The Power Inside

The third social film experience from Intel & Toshiba is here. They started two year ago with "Inside Experience" and now with the "Power Inside" we deal with an alien invasion. It seems that extraterrestrial moustaches and unibrows take over the upper lips and eyes of people around the world.

Your face can join the Uricks (the aliens) or the Guardians. Just visit www.thepowerinside.com or www.Facebook.com/insidefilms to watch the trailer and audition to be in the film. To join the Urick team and potentially be featured in the film you have to upload a photo to the Facebook Page, and the facial recognition software will add a moustache or unibrow. You can also upload videos of yourself removing a moustache to join the Guardian team.

Directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon  (“Blades of Glory” and “The Switch”), the movie stars Harvey Keitel (“Reservoir Dogs”), Craig Roberts (“Submarine”), Analeigh Tipton (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”), Reid Ewing (“Modern Family”) and Zack Pearlman (“The Inbetweeners”).

The first episode of the social film will be available on August 15 and continue online over the next six weeks.

Braun or Apple?

So much for Apple's innovative design. It seems that they got their inspration from Braun. The iPod is based on Braun T3 Pocket Radio, the Powermac G5 PRO is the same as Braun T1000 Radio and the list goes on. The following infographic makes it crystal clear.

Amstel Lager: The Chef

The art of storytelling. If you haven't seen last year's Amstel Lager's top-notch spot The Boxer see it. Then see this one. The story of man who wanted to be a chef, took up a job as a dishwasher so he can learn from the chefs around him and, over time, he gained the experience he needed to realise his dream of becoming a chef and open his own restaurant.
