- Apple Has Fun with their Wallpaper Designs
-
It seems the geniuses over at Apple have quite a sense of humor and understand the demographic they appeal to. Their free wallpaper designs take on fantastic quality and also great comedic value. It’s a convenient way for them to market themselves and display their brand identity and all the while, the consumers enjoy the look.
Since Apple took on such a trendy persona for their company, it is considered “cool” to display the logo on your desktop, iphone, car bumper or anywhere you can add it. Microsoft has tried, but still doesn’t seem to have the ability to match Apple’s popularity. The masses seem to have spoken and Apple is what they want. No pressure there Apple geniuses, just keep producing high tech and fun devices and you are golden!

- Free Microsoft Advertising: Windows Logo embedded in Wallpaper
-
We all know of the corporate giant that Microsoft is and how it has taken over the computer world, but is it right that they advertise their logo in their wallpapers? Sure, I admit that some of them look pretty cool, but I think that the windows logo, ruins the design. Why would I want a Microsoft ad appearing on my computer screen all the time? All it does is remind me of how frustrated I get when Vista has one of its numerous glitches or saves a document as a “docx” file. Of course I understand self branding and promoting your company, but sometimes it’s just too much. Maybe if certain versions of Windows had less problems, then I wouldn’t mind seeing their logo in my face everyday.
Microsoft has enough money that they don’t need to advertise on all of their own products. If you have them, then you already spent money on them. What kind of greedy company are they that they are going to force you to see their logo all the time? Oh right, what am I thinking?…Microsoft is no different than any other corporate giant. They must know what they are doing to become a giant in the first place, but if that’s true, then why does the operating system they created in 2001 far and away excel over their latest 2007 release? I guess you can’t do it right everytime.
