Following our recent hard-hitting, 60 Minutes-esque exposé on the use of expensive electronics as dominoes in advertising, we have now come across a bit of Apple history in the form of the first known “iPod-sized electronic device ” domino footage, and it looks like Apple may once again be able to lay claim to […]
