Tear Down: The Entertainment Weekly Live-Tweeting Digital Ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQm7k4riCoE#ws)
-
Is most of this put on? They take forever to figure out what the 'things' are...
To be honest, it was quite frustrating to watch, even though I watched the whole thing.
Competition? Nope. :P
-
shame it wasn't elsworth or a more experienced tech rather than self proclaimed jerno experts
-
Wow!
Dave. You better give up now. They are clearly experts and much much better than you at teardowns.
ROFL
-
Looks like they are copping some hammering in the YT comments. The internet is a tough place.
-
some one in yanky land send one to dave land for inspection
-
In case you didn't notice, ITS A PHONE!
+1, EW RULEZ!, OMG, WOW, LIKE IT, ME TOO <add all the usual idiot-speak here>
-

Yeah -- it can't really have taken them that long to realise that the big phone-shaped thing (that's displaying live data pulled from the internet) is probably a phone, can it? But then on the other hand they appeared to be actually surprised about it, whereas a moment's thought would reveal that it makes a lot of sense compared to designing a bespoke system to do the same thing...
-
You know what? It's a phone!
Alexander.
-
what ? no chipset analysis ? no layer count information on the pcb ? what a bunch of amateurs ..
-
How much does that magazine cost?
Take my money dammit! A nice hackable Android phone would be fun - even if it is likely the bottom of the line model with a colour LCD.
Very surprised they couldn't find a way to hack a cheap photo frame - no need to have things like bluetooth and keyboard - I guess spinning a custom board with SIM card and LCD is too expensive for a small advertising project.
-
5$ is the cost of that magazine plus the sim free data anybody ?
-
just went to the store... the ones in store don;t have this.... only if you are subscribed to the magazine..
-
An old school usb port?
Really? ::)

My wife subscribes to that magazine - we didn't get one.
-
I believe someone is sending me one of those.
Dave.
-
I don't recall where I read about this the other day, but I believe there were only 1000 units each in a couple of cities?
-
I think you had to be one of the lucky few in LA or NY only to get one.
And yes - the youtube comments are quite amazing.
-
You know, I found the woman in the presentation to sound more like she knew what she was talking about than the guy did, but she was getting trashed in many comments. Sad.

Oh, you should start with a little parody of this video... Hilarious.
-
OMG, I read the comments. That's called getting ripped a new one :o
Dave.

You always have to disregard the ** comments on YT as they don't count, but even then these guys got burned, classic!

Really? All she did was repeat what Ulanoff was saying. She said that the switch was a battery that was being fed by the bigger battery. She also said that the CCD (camera) was being used to run the LCD screen.
For the Yanks - Ulanoff was the editor of PC Magazine when it was still being printed.

To her credit, there was a battery holder on the switch PCB, but it was obviously empty. I shouted at my screen, but she didn't hear me.

Tina Fey...on the cover?? In the words of Gilda Radner.....Never mind!

I only finished watching it because I was hoping he would stab that polymer battery with his little knife.
-
To be honest, my reactions to opening up such an advertisement would probably be just as amazed.
An entire mobile phone with all it's technology used for some throw away advertising item.
-
This is definitely the most hilarious teardown I've seen :D
If I was Dave I would be terrified with such an amazing competitor.
I can just picture it:
OMG! OMG! It's drawing waves on the screen! Its... OMG OMG it's an Oscilloscope!
LOL
