Apple advert can thank FP10 / tire

Friday, December 12, 2008

You can read about the pretty interesting Apple advertisement placed by Apple on Yahoo!'s game portal page. And it owes some to the Flash Player 10's playing card 3D capabilities. The ad is a little annoying for my tastes, and it's certainly not that elegant, but it's creative. And technically pretty interesting... if they did all that with code. If it's just pre-rendered video the whole way, then that's almost cheating ;)
This morning Boston was loaded down with driving rain and cold temperatures. On a road I drive every day was a deep puddle of moving water. Within this puddle was the huge cap of a piece or road pipe that shredded my left front tire. I pulled into Callahan State Park's parking lot and called AAA. A few minutes later, pop! and another car pulls into the same parking lot with a flat. Pop! now another joins the party. The same AAA guy came out and changed three of our tires because of that hunk of metal in the road this morning, in the pouring rain. I called the police so they could move that thing in the road. Think they will pay for me to get another full-sized spare? Ya, I doubt it too.
