Weird Ad

VIP Co.

I noticed this sign board in Salmiya a few nights back. I though it was kind of an odd name for a computer shop!

Check out this TV ad from Intel. Seems the guy they portraid as Ajay Bhatt, one of the principal engineers behind the development of USB, was a fake. They used an actor in his place! This is the real Ajay Bhatt…

Intel’s best-known marketing campaign has been “Intel inside,” which began in the 1990s.
