by Everyone loves a good mystery — add in some pretty decent music and rad visuals and you’ve got a viral win. Today, mysterious YouTube sensation iamamiwhoami released a new vid, and it’s just as baffling as the previous eight. iamamiwhoami came on the scene back in December when several music bloggers and journalists were sent links to her/his first video. After that, more and more strange, Julie Taymor-esque clips began appearing on YouTube, and the speculations starting flying. Could s/he be: Trent Reznor, Little Boots, The Knife, Karin Dreijer Andersson, Goldfrapp, Lykke Li, Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, The Golden Filter or possibly Jonna Lee? As of right now, no one knows. Now, with a YouTube channel replete with vids and an iPhone app [iTunes link] to his/her ambiguous name, iamamiwhoami has become a Internet mystery akin to Merton. Personally, I hope s/he’s some kick-ass new musician rather than a tired retread hoping to rekindle his/her image. I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. Ten seems a nice round number for a reveal, doesn’t it? In the meantime, if you are iamamiwhoami and you’d like to chat with Mashable’s resident “weird stuff” girl — hit me up. Check out all of iamamiwhoami’s vids below. Read More

April 08, 2010   Brooke   Apple, commercials, videos   This commercial features two applications Shazam and Local Concerts. Both are free apps in the App Store. Personally, I LOVE Shazam! “I was out the other night and this great song came on. So I used my iPhone to figure out who the band was. Downloaded their album, right there. And the best part was, my iPhone even told me when they were coming to town. So, all I had to do was buy the tickets. I still don’t know how my iPhone does all that.” Read More

I can't quite put it into words, but it seems to be promoting the attitude that people shouldn't think about what their phone is doing" It"s not about should or shouldn't. It's about having things just work without having to know or think about how they work. This is how the vast majority of people function. We may not know the exact science behind electricity; but when I flip this switch the lights go on. That is what is important. Same thinking exists concerning automobiles computers and all electro-mechanical devices etc. We can be productive spending time making money, getting work done on a computer, doing what we like while some nerd geek is taking his computer apart for the tenth time. I think these ads work and are smart. Because these are the apps that people use on the iphone everyday. People do use shazam and check their bank accounts, or would like to. Apple is good at marketing. http://www.freegadgets-laptops.com You know, not everyone in the world is broke as hell. Some people can easily afford a $10 album and a $25 concert with out checking their bank accounts. There's something about the "I still don't know how my iPhone does that" line that really bothers me. I can't quite put it into words, but it seems to be promoting the attitude that people shouldn't think about what their phone is doing (it also seems to be saying the iPhone users aren't very smart, because it shouldn't be too hard to figure out, particularly as she installed the apps). It brings to mind all the times some friend or family member has computer problems and you're trying to fix it and they can't tell you anything about what they were doing before the problem occurred. "Where did you save the file?" "I don't know, the thingy just came up and I clicked the thing." "What was it called?" "I don't know" "What program were you using?" "Word" "You don't have Word" "Oh, ummmm, that one." "Photoshop?" "Yes." "You were editing a text file in Photoshop?" And so on. I've also noticed (though I'd have to survey a little more to verify it) that the guy in the previous ads seemed much Read More
