Neil Armstrong Dies at 82
American hero Neil Armstrong will forever be remembered as the first man on the moon. He commandeered the Apollo 11 space ship, slowly walked down its stairs, and placed his left foot on the white, powdery surface. His famous line, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” gave the world hope in a desperate time. His death was caused by complications of a bypass heart surgery he underwent earlier in the month. Social media again rose to the occasion as NBC shared the news on Twitter. Advertisers all over the world have been eager to place their ads on this international breaking story.

Victory for Apple
It’s been over a year since Apple filed the patent infringement lawsuit in April 2011 against their biggest rival Samsung. The long-awaited outcome is in: Apple proved victorious. Samsung now owes $1.05 billion dollars to the parent company of the iPhone, whose design was infringed upon by the Samsung Galaxy/S. Jurors found that Samsung copied several ideas from the iPhone and Apple claimed they were able to do so without taking any of the risk. There’s no doubt that the iPhone changed the way we communicate today. This is one story that advertisers don’t want to miss placing their ads on.

Lance Living Too Strong
Lance Armstrong is once again being accused of performance enhancing drug use, this time by the US Anti-Doping Agency. The cancer surviving, seven-time cycling champion of the Tour de France has been accused of drug use for most of his victorious career. This time around, Lance won’t be fighting the allegations that have caused him and his family so much stress as he has in the past. “Enough is enough” he stated in a press release. The USADA will decide upon a sentence to hand down, which may be as grand as to strip Lance of his seven Tour titles. His fans haven’t jumped on the band wagon and are supporting him publicly on Twitter at #Armstrong. This is a big story that should trend for a while – a great opportunity for any advertiser.
