which is why car adverts are better than tv ones.

car adverts often happen when your in a suggestible state, that is “split mind”.

ever drive home and forget the uneventful trip? you were basically in a state of hypnosis… and open to suggestions more than other times, as you sat there, did your trip on automatic, thought of what you wanted, and they pumped you.

most people dont know how much money is made classifying and selling you to others. so much so that mcdonalds and others monitor you. in this case, McDees monitores what radio station your on when you drive through. others, like direct tv, make big assumptions based on what your TV is tuned to, whether your watching, or your at work and your dog is

biometrics is being used more and more this way, along with cell phone information (many of the free apps make their money by spying on you).

dont believe me?

MobilTrak

A US company called MobilTrak makes a clever little device that recognizes what radio station a passing car is tuned to, detecting radiation leakage emitted by the antenna.

[which is why satellite was to be so big, they could take this revenue stream and control it]

car dealerships, which monitor the station a prospective customer is listening to and tailor the sales pitch accordingly. For example, someone listening to a classical music station is likely to respond better to an older salesperson in a suit than a younger one with body piercings.

drive throughs are a way to tie the purchase, person, and their likes together…

here is one you dont know of thanks to tom langford. 🙂

when you are driving past a bill board which has programmable images, the images and adverts on it may be tailored to what the people on the high way are listening to.

that is, they read the radio stations as you go by up highway… then a computer proceses this, and then targets the bill board to the crowd better.

you might not know it ladies, but in the stores you like, some of the displays are watching you. and they are using your facial expressions to change prices, and to figure out how to sell you things. (women are easier to sell based on abstractions having little value!!! i learned that while working at ACR on madison ave)

there is also software in the works that will identify you by how you move… and your cell phone…

that way, they can tell you have your cell phone, and will identify remotely waht products you have.

your walking through a small city park, yuo wear nikes, and so both nike and puma pay to hit you with a coupon as you pass the sneaker store

The price of the MobilTrak service ranges from $500 to $6,000 a month, depending on the client and the number of locations they want to monitor.

enjoy…

as i said if you knew all that i know on what people do, you would find it scary compared to what people think is going on.

I am an old lady. 😉

When Mark Steyn interviewed the late Artie Shaw, I believe Shaw said that the clarinet, the trumpet, and the drums were so prominent in Big Band Jazz because you could hear them more clearly on records than, say, a thousand violins. I don’t think Steyn responded immediately, but Steyn later said that those jazzmen were still musicians first, and also had to tour extensively. Once those early recordings were digitally cleaned up, they sounded better than ever. However, Steyn does have a problem with Phil Spector and his “Wall of Sound”, which sounds better on a tinny transistor radio than a good stereo system.

I wouldn’t discount the fact the new one mostly looks better on smaller screens (such as an iPhone or Android device).

That hadn’t occurred to me, since I don’t own or use those devices. It makes sense, though.

I remember reading a couple of years ago that many newer popular music CDs are optimized to sound good on iPods and such. But they sound awful when played on a good sound system. I don’t know the technical details, but the sound is compressed or something.

Well no. You can call a mentally retarded person a picnic table and pretty soon picnic table becomes insensistive to those who think the tail of language wags the dog of reality.
