The single was accompanied by a
groundbreaking "promotional video", which helped establish the visual
language of the modern music (and helped make the music video a must have accessory for any performer).

Being an early adopter, I found this exciting, challenging, and frustrating all in the same week.
Speaking of Windows 7, I saw an interesting ad where Microsoft was promoting the launch in Japan through a cross-promotion with Burger King. Here's the ad.
Who knew that the best way to promote a new operating system and your expected user experience was with seven congealing meat patties and the smell of onions?

Endorsed by professional spenders! Ensuring that "no digit is left behind", this calculator displays the largest collection of zeros ever assembled." Yes, you can buy one at Amazon.
