This viral by T-Mobile, takes a similar approach to the one produced to encourage us to visit theatre land and buy tickets from LastMinute.
Apparently the producers of this video are planning on a follow-up with even more dancers and audience participation!

In all the years I've been flying from Stansted, I've never experienced this!

At Real Life News we're always on the look out for new writers and since we've been running this site we've had a wide variety.
We've had some that want to contribute the odd post here and there, others look at it as a long term hobby or stepping stone to bigger things.
Some write on our environment blog, others on footie, but if you fancy a rant about a subject we don't yet cover, we're always on the look out for new ideas.
So, if you want to turn your hand to blogging, please let us know.

My son pointed me in the direction of this Halifax advert. Something to smile about despite the world's financial woes!

QR-codes, barcodes read by mobile phones, have been around for a while. They are images that when captured by mobile devices can give you access to content on the web, and so on.
But a temporary installation in New York applies the idea in a novel way.
Taking over four corners of a chain link fence surrounding a redevelopment project, the Houston fence code has been made by filling the gaps in the fence, creating giant symbols.
Even cooler, the way the codes are read by mobile phones means that they deliver different content based on your speed - driving, cycling or walking.
How cool is that?

Apple are the masters of product hype and the end product is usually pretty decent. The iPhone has been no exception, creating an easy to use interface for accessing the web in particular.
But amongst all that hype it's easy to forget the other manufacturers aren't sitting idle. Samsung have some nice handsets including what in the US is called the Instinct (I think it's the F480 Tocco in the UK).
Sprint's website features a great comparison of the iPhone and Instinct. Obviously it's biased to the Samsung but makes some good points in an effective and humourous way.
