New Samsung Ad Makes Fun of iPhone 5

Samsung is poking fun at Apple fans and the upcoming Iphone 5 in an advert designed to make us realise that its Galaxy S3 is the best handset around.

The advert shows a bunch of young trendies queueing outside an Apple store and talking excitedly about the incoming phone.

“All I’m saying is they should have a priority line for people who’ve waited five times,” one guy says at the start of the 90-second ad.

While the iPhone is never referred to by name, many of its specs are mentioned. “You have to have an adapter to use the dock on the new one,” one guy in the line says rather forlornly. “Yeah, but they make the coolest adapters,” says another.

Then a group of Galaxy S3 owners enter the area and talk about the features of the phone, causing curiosity among those standing in line.

The advertisement comes at a time when Samsung is still recovering from the major legal blow it suffered in its patent war with Apple last month.

How many GB does your average filing cabinet hold?
What if you wanted to store all your data in a Filing Cabinet? How many GB could it possibly hold? Lets find out using songs as our data…
- Well, we can say that the average song is 4MB
- 4MB = 33554432 bits
- One bit would be a 1 or 0
- One printed page hold approx 6460 characters
- So one song would take 5194 pages
- Average paper is 24lb/ream or .0048″ per sheet
- So, we’re looking at about 25″ of space needed for one song
- Looking at a file cabinet of average thickness, we would say that one drawer is about 18″ deep
- And the average file cabinet has 4 drawers
- So we have a total of 72″ of space
- Or 2.88 songs per cabinet
- So one cabinet holds about 11.52MB of space
- Or, about .01125GB
So we can conclusively say that a file cabinet stored about as much data as one and a half IBM 2311 Direct Access Storage Facility Hard Disks.
