Subject: That darn Intel jingle...
OK, so there goes that irritating Intel jingle on yet another commercial
for a product featuring one of their chips - thus ensuring that I'll
make darn sure I shop around for alternatives before ever considering
one of their chips.
It did make me think though; has computing history been littered with
ads containing trademark features which are so annoying (in an audio or
visual sense), or is this a recent thing? (For some reason the
'Playstation noise' isn't nearly as grating...)
cheers
