OK, I’ll play. What year is this commerical dollar bill made in? Do you mean 2011 bills, or 2012? And what is the content of the ad? Thanks.
link?
No way...no freakin’ way...
No.
I’ll have what he’s drinking.
It’s not the money you nincompoop. If true, the software reads something that already exists and links you to a website.
You could program the software to recognize your own name and link it to anything you want.
Sorry for the ninompoop comment. I was trying to be silly. But it sounds crass in hindsight. :o)
OK more info... the dollar I used was a 2006 so obviously not embedded in the dollar... the Obama people paid the makers of the WIMO app (I am using a droid) to play that video when it recognizes a $1.00 bill.
This doesn’t have anything to do with the dollar bill or the US Treasury. WiMO just maps an image to some video. Some clown mapped the images on the dollar bill to an Obama campaign video - run the WiMO client on your Android phone, aim the camera at a dollar bill, and the video plays. It only matters in the WiMO client’s little world - no big deal.
Some ingenious “programmer” thought-up a way to give Barry a free ad, that’s all. Pretty slick, actually.

I don’t have a smart phone but if I hold the dollar bill up to my ear I can still hear it.
Point it at a pile of dog-poop and it should play the same thing.
Listen, keep this to yourself and it will prove worth your time.

WASHINGTON – The White House has approved the redesign of U.S. currency. Barack Obama will be on the new dollar bill.
The Obama Administration feels that the American dollar is in bad need of a makeover. They have partnered with the Dollar ReDe$ign Project to pick a new design for U.S. currency. Currently, the design that the administration likes best was done by Dowling Duncan (a British duo), which features a unique vertical design. It also features President Obama on the one dollar bill.
“We love the Dowling Duncan look. They’ve come up with a creative design and put President Obama where he belongs… on number 1,” said David Axelrod, Senior Adviser to President Obama.
The Dollar Redesign Project was organized by creative strategy consultant Richard Smith. He is still soliciting ideas for the dollar bill of the future. “Our great ‘rival’, the Euro, looks so spanky in comparison it seems the only clear way to revive this global recession is to rebrand and redesign,” the project notes on its website.
Here’s the web site for The Dollar Redesign Project.
“Don’t waste your time submitting a design, it’s a done deal,” said Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff. The President wants “change” in the currency and we’ve unanimously picked Dowling Duncan’s work. Fed Chairman, Benjamin Bernanke, has signed off on our choice for the redesign. We intend to have the money in circulation by June, 2011.”
Emanuel went on to say that there are plans to redo U.S. coins as well. “We don’t need a complete redesign of our coins, but we do want to put President Obama on the penny and move President Lincoln to the nickel. Thomas Jefferson, who was on the nickel, will be… discontinued.” Republican Congressman Paul Ryan suggested President Obama be put on both the “nickel and dime” instead of the penny.
Another American icon might also be replaced. “Uncle Sam is outdated,” said Axelrod. “We need to update this icon as well. It will now be Uncle Barack.”
Republicans are apoplectic about the changes the Administration is proposing. “They won’t get this passed when we get control of the house,” said Minority Leader John Boehner. “Typical Republicans, they want to block everything, even a little meaningless design issue,” said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. “It doesn’t matter what they think, we’re going to pass this and every American will be carrying Obama dollars in their wallets and purses come June, 2012.”
FYI: The Obama dollar will reportedly be worth $0.47.
You people are pathetic. This is a real thing. And from the iTunes site (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wimo/id347755159?mt=8) it looks like WiMO did this as an example of their technology... but does this not count as free advertising = political contribution in kind that must be reported? Does it interest anyone that WiMo Reality is in the same building complex as NBC/Universal? Nah, nothing to see here I guess.
Wow.
