Advertising sells to advertisers, but it is questionable wether you want to position your hi tech invention as a marketing gimmick. It degrades the value of your product and also the Philips brand value. advertising is big business, but advertising media are usually under enormous strain to lower prices
Safety was mentioned often. It is a great market. Safety related product are in a high price range and people are willing to pay. Also, they reflect in a positive way on a company.
Another, more basic problem: they try to sell the technology, but they may want to sell produts instead or develop products together with strategic A-brands. With selling only the technology, they risk cross contamination between two markets. F.i., the press release mentions ads as well as a couch. Different products, I hope. I for one do not want my couch to display ads, even if I don't mind if some of my clothes do. You do not want to create the impression that you sell blinkin' ad-couches!
One word in defence of Philips: Their last marketing campaign was classic and inspired: the Senseo(r) coffee maker has changed coffee making in the Netherlands profoundly and seems to be catching on in other european countries as well. Not sure wether it was the Philips marketeers or those of Sara Lee/DE in this case though.
So, it works. Good to know. Now use their scam in your advantage
When you recieve the spam, use the system. Wait a day or two, then buy put-options or sell short. What went up will come down, at least the same 4% probably.
actually, the bidet was not invented to wash your behind, but as a preservative, used to wash out semen after copulation and thereby prevent conception. It then developed into an asswasher.
I once stoped cold turkey. Went on a sailing trip (tea only on board) after cramming for exams and drinking 15-20 mugs of coffee/day. I can still remember the headache and see my hands shaking. It lasted 3 days (then I got a cup of coffee, figured out what was happening in the frst place and got myself a coffee each morning.
The reason coffee isn't on the list to be forbidden is twofold: - It doesn't make you agressive or stoned or cause others harm in any way (cf booze, sigarettes - Way to many people are addicted, including policy makers
Yeah... 27$ for a few hour flight is so ultra cheap. Considering that most people pay about that much at home for a MONTH of broadband
And what about flight itself! It is so expensive! I can ride my bike for three hours almost for free, but for a flight I have to pay hundreds of euros. Why would anyone want that?
So, Sir, please insert the battery and try to power-up your laptop. It is empty? We will keep it safe for you right here. You need it anyway? Feel free to charge it behaind that blast-proof wall please and once it is full, you will be able to use it (and turn on your laptop with it).
Ever so polite, but I can't even park my bike there within a 50m range of the building.
At least not if you want to work in the industry afterwards. If you want to spend your time in scientific institutions anp perform research there, it might be an option, although they tend to be more interested in early starters...
they suggest a "marathon of New York" game. I had some flashbacks to the left-richt keying.joystick-movements on the summer games variants of the Tandy TRS-80 or C64. 100m was quite enough.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm a marketeer, I convert cashflow into gibberish
Never trust a /. article with a question mark in the title
Next: "Google may enter the console market but most likely not..."
Just type "small", it might earn you some points...
As a marketeer, I disagree.

Leave it to Philips to invent some great technology and then blow the marketing. They have a great history of doing that.
Come on, if even slashdot can come up with applications that are far more marketable then "advertise on my back", why can't Philips ?

eh true. "preservatief" is an oldfashioned dutch word for contraceptive, so this is a case of bad translation
not sure you've got the concept of conception down...
"got"
"isolated"
if realy want: "rescued" (assuming the embryo is going to the medical waste disposal anyway)
Just keep the projector cap on untill you want to display
Problem solved.

My Nokia 6310i lasted for weeks on standby. My 6230i lasts for days.
No need for a return flight, so it will be quite cheap...
Believe me, coffee is adictive

Just bring some liquid fuel cell fuel...

You're right. We should get some real terrorists, maybe it would perform better
Better not be afraid of flying, then you would be a permanent member of this 8%.
this will most certainly piss me off, since my girlfriend is afraid of flying.
Sure. mod the parent funny. That way you are sure that nobody will implement any countermeasures.
I will have to distrust breast implants from now on. They might be explosive!
That is why you have to open and boot your laptop in places where real security is in place, f.i. some UN locations.
No, I do not understand that, but I would like to learn why. Where can I find information?
Don't poke around with 10 more years of college
