In a clear case of viral marketing, Samsung released a video demonstrating how their latest phone/tablet (or ‘phablet’ if you will) the Galaxy Note is so easy to use, even elephants can have fun with them. Of course, having a massive 5.3 inch screen helps, but the elephant’s precision in tapping the screen is what we found more impressive.

‘Mad Men‘ returned for its fifth season on Sunday night. Not only has a lot changed for the folks at Sterling Cooper Draper Price during their 17 month TV hiatus, but a lot has changed for those of us in the real world.
