Samsung spent $10.2 billion to get you to buy the Galaxy S7 and other S-stuff last year

Samsung is notorious for its huge marketing spending, but fellow Korean big shot LG is catching up each year. Still, there's a lot of spending LG has to do before the $1.6 billion it scrounged together in 2016 touches Samsung's $10.2 billion.

This billion-dollar marketing doesn't include just smartphones, of course, that would be quite desperate! But the two do spend a lot of money to get you to buy their phones, regardless. Industry watchers say Samsung spent most of that money on promoting smartphones like the Galaxy S7 and the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, while LG promoted "high-end home electronics" – possibly OLED TVs and semi-sentient vacuum cleaners. LG increased its spending on ads by 21.4% from last year.

Both companies are expected to continue with their relentless marketing strategies throughout 2017, engaging in bespoke ad wars. Samsung issued a TV ad for the then unannounced Galaxy S8 shortly after the LG G6's reveal, and LG answered with one barely a day before Samsung's big reveal. It must be paying off, for both handsets are in demand in Korea, as well as globally.

Fun fact , the Gibraltar Barbary macaques probably have better health coverage than most Americans. They receive a daily supply of fresh water and vegetables, fruit and seeds as supplement to natural food resources (leaves, olives, roots, seeds and flowers). They are caught on a regular basis to check their health status , an yearly census is conducted and there are like 5 European Universities that have some sort of health program for them :)

Good morning my friend ;
May love and laughter light your days......

Alia Bhatt may not openly talk about her love life in the media but its one aspect of her life that she freely talks about to her best friends 💞

Alia, the ambassador of ice cream product Cornetto -- which has come up with a Pack of Sharing -- says her friends are always the ones with whom she shares jokes, opinions and details about her personal relationships. Here, she has shared some insights:



Inside jokes: We always reserve all our inappropriate statements, jokes and opinions only to share with our best friends. This is because you know that not only will they get your humour but they will definitely not judge you for it.

Love tales: You can't call your friend your best friend unless they know the list of people you've dated or wanted to date. They are the ones who support you through the love-struck phases and help you mend the heartbreak too._

Hunger games: The whole world may not know how much you love to eat, but your bestie definitely does. From your capacity to gobbling down an entire pizza to finishing the otherwise meant to be pack of sharing, only your bestie knows what your tummy is capable of.

Instagram diaries: We all know that we all rely on consulting our best friends when we want look nothing but the best on Instagram! They are the only ones who will not shy from calling out our ugliest selfies from the best ones.

Comfortable silence: We all love them because they are also the only people we can have the best time with even if we are completely silent.

A Few Details About Google Allo

Just a few details and opinions about Google's Allo messaging app. Google Allo seems really cool and all; and certainly the assistant is something to admire -- but do you really use it on a daily basis? I know that I don't, and that is mostly because the people that I communicate with are using either Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, or Google Hangouts.
