I wouldn't argue with the selection of Honda's "The Cog" as the greatest car commercial of all time

Some years back, +Honda in the UK created a remarkable commercial for the then-new Accord. Titled "The Cog," the two minute film features one of the coolest Rube Goldberg machines ever made. The most amazing thing is that the 2003 ad uses no CGI and it was done in a single uninterrupted shot all the way through. 

Of course getting that one shot was no trivial matter. It took more than six months to create including four months of engineering the sequence of moving car parts (all from the Accord). Once they had it all worked out, it still took 606 takes before the entire sequence worked perfectly all the way through. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/61487/best-car-adverts-ever

Reshared post from +Dan Gillmor

It's probably a forlorn hope, but when the Nieman Journalism Lab asked me for a 2013  prediction, I said we'd see a rise in evidence-based reporting.

Are they actually implying that Verizon might be lying to us? It couldn’t be!

Verizon contradicts itself with ISIS approval and Google Wallet block
It looks like we’ve learned a bit more behind the Google Wallet block on Verizon Wireless today. There’s been a lot of talk lately about this “secure element.” Most of that …
