Top 10 Most Memorable Tech Super Bowl Ads

theodp writes "From 1977's lovable Xeroxing Monk to 2007's smug-and-rich SalesGenie pitch man, Valleywag has rounded up videos for its Top 10 most memorable tech-oriented Super Bowl commercials. The commercials are: Apple (1984), Monster (1999), CareerBuilder (2005), GoDaddy (2005), Xerox (1977), E*Trade (1999), Pets.com (2000), Computer.com (2000), SalesGenie.com (2007) and OurBeginning (2000). This year's ads are coming soon." I've always been a fan of the Outpost.com gerbil cannon spot.

Apparently Slashdot now has a section specifically for nonsensible and pointless articles. And they even made it look like digg!

Arrrgh... top 10 lists

[owlnation]

layout change... disconcerted...confused... make. it. stop. ...

ok... trying to focus...

Top 10 lists. Is it just me? Or does everyone when they see any kind of "top 10" list they immediately think:

1. Lazy worthless journalists.
2. Product placement / viral marketing / ad by stealth

I need to work 10 list of things I'd like to do to journalists. But it'll have to wait until after I have recovered from the brain damage that is this new layout...

apple ad, prophecy?

[hitmark]

the more i read about locked iphones, itunes and whatsnot it strikes me as kinda ironic that apple ran a ad about 1984...
