I watch a few television shows a week, twenty two be be precise. Product placement has been apparent in a few of these shows that I have been watching. One show has their sponsors product plastered all over the show where as the others jsut have everyones favourite new phone on the block.

One bad show at the product placement is Heroes. I love Heroes but the advertising of the Nissan was extremely obvious and made me cringe at the fact they let that scene air. They said the brand and the model of the car, and the thing is, they are the company that sponsors Heroes. The second time they shows the car was less obvious but they still made sure the Nissan logo was on the screen long enough to subliminally take it in.

I am also seeing a quite a bit of Apples bundle of joy make its way into television shows, especially the CSI’s. Whenever I see the iPhone, I laugh that they have had to put it into tv, and also that the person using it looks like a total tool. The thing doesn’t look that nice when you see people use it as a phone. It looks like they holding a thin block of cheese to their face. Its quite unappealing. Its nice that in one of the shows where you saw the actually screen of the phone it didn’t even have Apple firmware, it was some random one they whipped up for the program.

I don’t really care about about product placement as long as they don’t make it too obvious. If it is just there and they don’t mention the product by name or make the product the subject of the shot, I’m generally fine with that. I also think its funny that even television producers have to jump on the iPhone bandwagon. I don’t think it would have killed them to leave if for at least half a year or so

About two hours ago, Apple’s Presentation would have ended. I have just woken up and don’t know where to go. There is going to be Apple information from the presentation everywhere on the internet. But where sold I go first to get all the information and pictures in a single, easy location so I don’t have to muck around sifting through information to get everything I want to know.

Digg will definitely have this in the top 10 dugg stories. Digg is one of the many bases online for Apple Fanboys and any big technology news is on there. Apple + New Product + Hype = Top Story! My guess would be that the story either links to Engadget, Gizmodo or Mac Rumors or all. If this is the case why not go to the original source first because I’m sure the information is spread across multiple posts.

I could go possibly go to Twitter, Pownce or Tumblr. Someone on there would have definitely linked to a website with a lot of information on it. My guess would be that it would link to the same article(s) as seen on Digg. The only problem is that there will be quite a few people with different links and I wouldn’t want to go to all the sites to find the exact same information on it so this method of getting all the information quickly might not be the best solution.

I could try the my RSS feeds because I know for a fact that there will be at least 5 different sources with information on the new iPods. The only problem is that this information will be mixed with other stuff so I would have to siff through my feeds. Also if I wanted to see any extra content, for example photo galleries, I would end up going to the site anyway to see these so why not just go to one at the start.

I guess I will just go straight to a website and have a look at the news. Now I have the problem of deciding which one would have the best content, whether its Gizmodo or maybe Mac Rumors of possibly Engadget, now thats a big decision. Well off I go. *crosses fingers for new iPods* :p
