Bush in 30 seconds finalists

The 15 finalists of the "Bush in 30 Seconds" advertising contest has been announced: Bush in 30 Seconds finalists

A lot of thought-provoking ads among the finalists, with the first one on the list - "Child's play" being my personal favourite.

And the finalists does not include the much talked about Hitler ads, which never were parts of the finalists.

Interesting article by Brian Berstein about Tools that refine web searches.

Brian writes about Vivisimo that groups searches from Google in a more intuitive way. Seems to work OK for English, but not so good for other languages.

Today Apple announced its new iPod mini - a mini version of its blockbusterselling iPod.

The player comes with 4 GB hardrive, and the rechargeable battery lasts for 8 hours. The player will retail for $249 and will be available in stores from next month. (April in Europe).

As some of you might know, several companies have come forth that offers to paint the dull iPods in various colours. And it seems Apple has kept its ears to the ground and picked up on that trend, because iPod Mini will be available in multiple colours, including silver, gold, blue, pink and green.
