Cisco Cius in NCIS: Los Angeles

  • NCIS: Los Angeles is one program I llike to watch once in a while.  SageTV records it automatically  every week. I watch it whenever I've sometime to spare. 
    • This week Cisco Digital Display systems signage in building J piqued my interest with a reference to NCIS: Los Angeles. As usual NCIS: Los Angeles catered to  in the building J showed that my favorite show was going to feature Cisco Cius. 
      •  I'm a skeptic of the utility of Cius Tablet . I for one think Cisco would be better of creating a software for Telepresence End Point that runs in Android and iOS tablets.
        • Well... I'm not the product manager!!!? 
        • I had the same thought when Cisco acquired Pure Digital (flip). I know you would say it is hindsight 20/20!. 
    • Product placement is a marketing technique used by many companies to promote their product to much wider audience. 
      • New products get introduced to much wider audience.
      • Movies and TV shows get another source of revenue
    • NCIS: Los Angeles is too generous in product placements. 
      • Recently one of the episodes prompted me to search for a sexy Chrysler car in the episode. In the end it wasn't Chrysler rather an expensive Aston Martin Rapide.
        • Who would've thought Navy detectives would drive such an expensive car.
        • Clever product placement.. huh.
      • In the "Plab B" episode, NCIS analyst Nell uses Cius in the office and (surprisingly) in the moving car, in High Def!. Nice, does that demonstrate Cius's 3G capability!
      • Remember "Super Size Me?". The same team has created another documentary that deals with the product placement in movies and TV shows, called "Greatest Movie Ever Sold" . I can't wait to watch it (in NetFlix - ofcourse).
