‘World of Color- Celebrate!’ first look – Disneyland 60th annivesary

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

The folks at Disneyland recently invited us to check out the world premiere of its new World of Color- Celebrate! show at Disney California Adventure Park. As part of Disneyland’s 60th anniversary this new show (Celebrate! replaces the original show that has been running since 2010) tells the story of Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, Disney Animation classics, Disneyland and ends with a look towards the future. If you pay special attention you can also find multiple instances of Star Wars and Marvel characters throughout the show.

The new show, which plays nightly in the Paradise Pier section of the theme park, is narrated by, Neil Patrick Harris. Who, as it turns out, is a huge Disney fanatic.

Of course the above gallery just doesn’t do the show justice, for it is one of those things you really have to experience in person. The 1,200 dancing fountains, combined with the beautiful musical score, flaming fireballs all come together to tell a pretty spectacular immersive story. (Interesting tidbit, if you blow up fireballs, you end up with these insane smoke circle, see gallery below)

As part of this new production, 5 minutes of brand new animation were crated by the Walt Disney Feature Animation to augment the show. The digital projection sits on a 380-foot wide water screen blasting over 30 million pixels; for reference UltraHD and 4K displays sit at around 8.3-8.9ish million pixels respectively. What does it take to program all these special effects, including those 1,200 dancing fountains, all those frames of animation, mixed with lasers and pyrotechnics? 18 months of planning and 3 additional months of programming, that’s all.

World of Color – Celebrate! will begin its run Friday, May 22, which also coincide’s with the Disneyland Resort’s 24-hour party. That’s right you can spend all day/night at the parks. I hope you can stay up that long.

To add to the fun Disney is holding the Disneyland Diamond Days sweepstakes, which include actual one- and two-carat diamonds, priority access to select attractions, private parties at Disneyland, an overnight stay inside Disneyland Park and whole bunch of other really cool prizes. To enter head over to http://ift.tt/1DFfJsX beginning May 22. Good luck!

We’ll have more coverage from the event including so stay tuned.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
