Happy New Year to everyone who has enjoyed and supported Digital Buzz this year!

REI have just launched their first store in NYC, probably a weird place to have an awesome, hardcore outdoor store right?

It’s Saturday, so I thought I’d post up something a little fun for the weekend, the NextBigThing ad. It’s the Samsung Galaxy S II taking it to stereotypical Apple fans, playing on all the disappointments of the iPhone 4s launch.
