Dick Reads 'The Period' So here's a tale of two eReaders from E ink created by Boston-based Captains of Industry that aims to highlights the benefits E Ink screens over tablet-style LCD screens.

Victoria's Secret Models Attempt to Sing 'Deck the Halls' We're sure Candace Swanepoel, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes (gotta love that name), Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Aldrige, Lindsay Ellison and Erin Heatherton are all perfectly lovely women. As are, it would seem, all of the Victoria's Secret models. But when we view them in this cringe-worthy Christmas ad attempting to sing Deck the Halls, we want to poke holes in our ears just to stop the pain. Yea, sure. It's fun to show hot women try to sing Christmas carols. Especially when they're all dolled up in holiday-themed hottie-wear. Hell, it's fun to show hot women doing nothing at all. But. Please. Make. It. Stop.

As more successes pile up, more brands will produce video content to achieve their marketing goals.
