They sound yum
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

The only thing Liese left out. If you as a user can choose to see everything certain people or pages post, then that means marketers can reach you without paying facebook. By limiting what you can see from everybody they can guarantee that if you are using Facebook for marketing the only way you can reach all your friends or all your followers or everyone who "liked" your page is to pay Facebook. (The only workaround is to visit the Timeline of someone you friend or follow or of the page you liked. But that only lets you access them one at a time.)
I predict that Facebook has gotten too clever with this, that Facebook usage will drop significantly in the next few years, simply because more and more users won't "get what they need" from it.

The iPad Air commercial with the Whitman quote wins the gold medal for pretension.
Oh God. The worst. Also, I think it's riffing stylistically on the VOs in Terence Malick's last two films for extra pretension.

Tep, I made gluten free, low glycemic muffins today and thought of you (and ita). I made them less healthy by topping them with almonds or chocolate chips or butterscotch chips. But they are yum.
Suddenly my breakfast sucks.

But isn't it just literally a quote from Dead Poets' Society, maybe Autotuned and dropped into the commercial? How is a 25-year-old quote (of a much older Whitman quote) a riff on 2 films made recently?

Almonds are a superfood, aren't they? So, healthy.
I don't think I hated the Whitman thing in the context of Dead Poets Society, but that was a long time ago, I might have.

Recipe here: [link] yummy. They are less muffiny because of structural integrity issues. But still yum.

The ad using the quote can be a riff on two films made recently, yes?

I totally misunderstood. I thought she meant just the quote, or the use of the quote, or something.
I'm not sure why I keep posting about this, because I'm not really invested in an iPad commercial.
