Google Japan Mobile Promotion

Google Japan is posting once in a while promotional videos on Youtube.

I really don’t like these Google Mobile videos. Maybe because of the annoying music and graphics, or the silly plot:

In the first one, the couple searches for a cinema screening “Super Dog 2″ movie:

Second one, “the business story”, our heroine searches for business manners: “Where should she sit in the Taxi?” followed by a search for a train station and directions.

MI6 recruiting ad

Encountered the attached ad in the Economist a few weeks ago. I have finally found the time to scan and post it.

I found it kind of funny. Also checked their website, and it turns out you need to be a UK citizen to apply.

“There are three strangers in the room that you need on your side. How do you get them to warm to you?”
