Has Technology Knocked the Quality Out of Super Bowl Commercials?
By Barry Barnes - AOL NewsFor the last generation, Super Bowl commercials were the bread and butter of the biggest sporting event of the year outside the game itself. Legendary commercials like the 1979 Coca-Cola commercial with Hall of Fame Steelers defensive lineman Joe Greene tossing his jersey to a kid (where is he now?) in the tunnel and the McDonald's shooting contest between NBA legends Larry Bird and Michael Jordan in 1993 where they shot the ball out the backboard, through the window, nothing but net. Remember the office linebacker by Reebok in 2003 and the countless Budweiser ads, especially the frogs of ...

Breakdown: How Justin Bieber Is Like Apple
By Ernie Smith - AOL News(May 25) -- To some, Justin Bieber is a super-sweet, super-dreamy pop star. To others, he's that dude who's ruined Twitter's trending topics. Earlier this year, ShortFormBlog compared Bieber's influence to his musical peers' and the actual news trending on the site at the time and found that Bieber was a consistent but not dominant force on the site. Now, with Twitter changing its trending topics formula seemingly for the sole purpose of downplaying the teen pop star (and failing), now seems like a good time to delve deeper into the Bieb's enduring hold on social media -- and explain why in ...

The record of visitors also looks like a red carpet list of celebrities and Hollywood movie stars. And CEOs of all those Wall Street banks the government bailed out earlier this year came calling frequently, too. Many of the Democratic lobbyists who frequented the White House this year are also among the highest earning lobbying firms in 2009, including power player Steve Elmendorf of Elmendorf Strategies ...

By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyMaybe you have a fine appreciation for simple melodies and lyrics written in an LA boardroom. Maybe you think that Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce are all washed up. Or maybe you just don't have enough high-pitched shrieking in your life.Whatever the reason, we know you're going to want to be at DC's Verizon Center this Monday night for the "Kids' Inaugural Concert," featuring Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato! (We had to Wikipedia that last one - turns out it's a 16-year-old girl who used to be on "Barney.")But you can't go...Contrary to initial reports that it ...
