Witness the tale of tech blogger Seth Coolio whose
readership was down to a guy named Julio. No amount of reposting
repost could make it more right, it was
time for Seth to exercise some journalistic might. But how
to come up with the ultimate blog scoop to win back this lost
readership group, to Logitech, to Logitech
Seth Coolio will go posing as their new chief holiday
officer. Ho Ho Ho,
Seth had come up with the most devious scheme indeed, to stealth fully infiltrate this corporation.
Guaranteed.
First on his hit list was a G-Series meeting where
Seth snuck in with nary greeting. There they chatted about keyboard
keys that blast faster and 20 mouse
buttons that turn you into a game master.
Got a machine that will press the key 50 million
times to make sure 50 million times, wow, these keys
here? Hello
Hi how are you? I'm sorry who are you?
Chief holiday officer, I'm supposed to measure for
the garland, we're going to do an eggnog fiesta here earlier and later
today. Um so this is the g710+
keyboard right, this is the new one? Uh yea.
I didn't mean to interrupt. No well, we use a really premium
mechanical switch, so not only can you
get like 50 million keystrokes out of it- 50 million times. Right right, and
these are the new mouse.
This is the g600 MMO mouse. Gotcha.
It's got 20 programmable buttons So you got that third button right
on top you can press that and it doubles
the assignment so the 12 you can have 24 different assignments on the thumb pad.
I would differently put that in my blog, which I'm
not. This is amazing this is great.
This is the best gaming mouse out there so we
must be very careful very very- I don't know if I mentioned but
one of my duties is to put together the
holiday calendar and its going to come out in April. Um,
what I can do with this thing is take some photos if you guys don't mind,
why don't you guys just get together
and smile you know, you guys look great right now.
You can take photos but try not to take photos
of the products. yea that's great one of you guys,
yea you'll be in it, Photoshop is amazing
and what I do is I crop you guys in. So don't do that, opps,
okay let me get a side shot of the buttons. Well symbolically these guys
represent you, perfect there we go, so
one together, you know what it is a little clutterey, you
guys don't mind I'm just going to put these in my sack
This is a prototype so you have to be-
That's why it is going to be so safe, this is
really going to help with the picture, so you guys don't mind coming together
here I'm going to take a picture are
those button missing something right there where? or am I?
Now this was the stuff of blog legends and lore,
with gadgets in sack Seth set out once more. Searching for more secrets
Searching for more secrets that defined all hype like an HD TV cam
built just for Skype. nice
Hello
Peter? Hi, wow, Peter sent me, I'm Bobby Robby Biarensen,
I'm uh, chief holiday officer
Is Peter going to make it? Uh, he told me to start the meeting
without uh him, and you go ahead and
tell me all the confidential stuff and I won't put it in my
blog. well maybe, your blog?
But I won't put it next to the u-log. Why do you have the Harmony Remote
on your face, well uh what you have in your
hand is a Harmony Remote. this is a Harmony remote, it's
a remote, okay. It's the new Harmony touch remote,
it has full gesture control, swipe, tap,
customizable favorites. can just customize all your favorite
shows and just press on the button
and there you go. we're using a TV Cam to talk to
you TV Cam, that's the TV Cam there?
the TV Cam has built in microphones in the camera
itself Right this is 720p? Is that right?
So this is how your picking up my voice and
uh my face. With the TV Cam you can call anyone
through Skype Can you hear me right here can you
hear. Yea we can hear you in anywhere in
that room. Are you not familiar with
the product? I am very familiar with the product
now that you told me what it was, so
your far away from me right now just want to be clear about
this. we're in Switzerland
That's far, or isn't it? That's really far.
yea its far, are you sure Peters coming? No, well
yes I'm sure his uh I'm sure his going to be here any moment now, actually
if you don't mind I'm just going to
what are you doing? I just realized your in Switzerland
I'm thirsty, just going to get a beverage.
Oh my God, I'm going to call security. No, don't call security and if
you do they don't have a TV Cam so its fine
okay here we go, listen tell Peter I miss him terribly and
its really nice to see you guys.
Wait don't turn it off and put the products back.
It was too good to be true, everything was coming
together, Seth's tech blogging tread would live on forever but one
secret realm under lockin key, those
amazing speakers and headphones of Logitech UE, worried
that his chances were dwindling in fleeting he did the unthinkable
and boldly called his own meeting and
so with much fan fare Bluetooth connectivity did Seth start
a most fateful festivity.
You feel that? Get into the holiday season, are
you with me? Watch me turn it down wirelessly.

work, doing its best its pumping it all together, How are you guys?
