Clint Eastwood is again brilliant in his new movie Gran Torino. This is the fourth time Clint Eastwood has played a Korean War veteran. Maybe a candidate for an oscar?

We have a winner: The photo taken from an image inside a magazine with kooaba Search for iPhone is our “image of the week”. It was correctly recognized as the movie Hancock with Will Smith. Coincidentally it’s the same movie we used in our promotional video for “kooaba Search”.

Btw. Did you know that the original title was “Tonight, He Comes.”? It was later retitled “John Hancock”, then finally retitled “Hancock”.

Win a brand new Sony PS3

March 5th, 2009 by Marc

Together with Sony Computer Entertainment and communication design specialists face we launched an interactive ad campaign promoting the science fiction first-person shooter game Killzone 2 for PS3.

People can win a PS3 by snapping a picture of the fighter featured on the ad below with the camera of the mobile phone and send it to kooaba via MMS (to 5555 Swisscom and Sunrise, and 079 394 57 00 Orange) to find out who Helghan belongs to. Once the image is recognized by kooaba, the participant enters a sweepstake to win a brand new PS3! They’re not only getting back a confirmation of participation but also a link to a mobile optimized trailer of the game.

Killzone 2

Please have a look at the “non mobile optimized” version of the trailer. :)
