Darth burgess – Switches over to the dark side

Darth burgess – Switches over to the dark side

Cali Lewis, iJustine & The big Gay apple Store Manager

William, The Geekbrief.tv intern saw that Justine Ezairk (iJustine) was in town to shoot some social media spots for us last month for xTrain.com. He found out that we were going to be at the apple Store @ Knox/Henderson in Dallas and sprung into action.

after Cali took her driving test, he got Cali & Neal to the apple store and introduced them to Justine an hour or so before we all got kicked out by the big gay apple store manager. Sorry to be so blunt, but my gaydar was off the charts.

iJustine (Justine Ezarik) Moves a Mountain with Social Media

Justing Ezarik, Or "The Internet" as she's known to friends has moved a mountain with a video she created in a noisy Pittsburgh coffee shop that lasts just over 1 minute. You see, Justine received her first phone bill from aT&T for her new iPhone in the amount of $237.00! The bill included some set up fees and toll charges, but nevertheless, SHE WaS OUTRaGED! In no way did she expect to have such a large bill from the telecom giant for new apple gadget.

No, that's not what happened… Here, this is what happened:

Now, Justine L-O-V-E-S apple. She dreams of Steve Jobs and writes things like "Justine Jobs" and "iJustine" in her diary. She is happy with her service from at&t. She just thought it was VERY funny that she got a 300 page phone bill. Frankly, who wouldn't?

Well, the dolts from aT&T media relations wouldn't. after Justine's video got airplay on no less than FoxNews, CNN, NPR and countless local television news and print outlets, I heard an interview with one communications rep from at&t being interviewed on NPR who was actually acting like everyone was making a big deal out of nothing. "We always have provided a very detailed billing for our customers. There's nothing new about this."

Smart. You "get it" don't you, at&t cog.

So on the way to the local coffee house today, about 1 week after Justine's video hit youtube, revver, viddler, et al, I get the following text message on my iPhone:

"aT&T free msg: We are simplifying your paper bill, removing the itemized detail. To view all detail, go to att.com/mywireless. Still need the full paper bill? Call 611."

Someone needs to buy Justine a coffee/beer the next time you see her. Well done, Internet.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Gates and Jobs shared the stage last night in Carlsbad, California at the all things Digital Conference, proving that even the fiercest competitors can get along. ('Course it helps to be a billionaire.)

black is the new black: Thanks Mac

I love it. apple is the king of design trends when it comes to consumer electronics, and the rest of the world seems content to copy. Case in point: Microsoft is about to release the Xbox 360 Elite. To differentiate their product from the normal Xbox, which is coincidently white, they chose to go black. *SIgh*.
