Intel's "Sponsors of Tomorrow" Videos - RF Cafe Cool Video About a decade ago Intel produced a series of clever "Sponsors of Tomorrow" TV commercials that became YouTube sensations. Most poked fun at the nerdy nature of Intel-type employees. I believe the first one that really went viral was the "Our Rock Stars Aren't Like Your Rock Stars" video - ingenious, IMHO. It stars Ajay Bhatt*, co-inventor of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). Another is a scenario only someone who has "been there" searching for a die can fully appreciate. Another of my favorites is "Our Jokes Aren't Like your Jokes."

Rather than focusing specifically on new products, the "Sponsors of Tomorrow" ad campaign celebrates what makes Intel unique - culture, personality, heroes, and ways Intel has helped change the world for over 50 years. Kinda cool at the end of each one is a group of Intel employees "singing" the very familiar Bum' --- bum bum bum bum' sound. In pseudo Morse code that might be — •••—, or... and this might be just an amazing coincidence I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else, "TV."

* Thanks to RF Cafe visitor Mike for letting me know that the Ajay Bhatt shown in the Intel ad is not the real McCoy (or the real Bhatt, to be more precise). That guy is actually an actor named Sunil Narkar.

Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
