Bad movies
Survey says this is a link to a Macworld column!
Three surveys this week drive the Macalope to drink and think of bad movies. All in this week’s Macworld column.
Bad behavior

This week’s Macworld column looks at the mobile wars, Consumer Reports refusal to accept that the iPhone’s not evil and talks to the Winotaur about Microsoft’s boss new slate coming in 3 years!
Who's the little girl again?
A Samsung ad uses a misplaced metaphor.
Samsung has this viral image ad up on YouTube (tip o’ the antlers to Leo Laporte) of a little girl dancing and then all the adults follow along.
It’s a cute ad but the metaphor reminded the Macalope of nothing more than the point Marco Arment makes here. The “adult” handset manufacturers were churning out pieces of crap and then along came the iPhone. Apple just walked in and started a dance that everyone else has spent the last three and a half years trying to move to.
That probably wasn’t the image they were going for.
Choices
Link to Macworld column on Android, the App Store and comments by an Acer exec.

Smells like teen spirit
