>http://modmyi.com/content/10764-microsoft-bashes-apple-samsung-new-nokia-lumia-commercial.html http://modmyi.com/content/10764-microsoft-bashes-apple-samsu... I am lost. What's the alleged lie here? Also, two of your links leads to the ad which wrongly compares the screen size of diagonal length is bigger. However, when Google wrongfully claims a Chromebox with a Celeron is running a Intel Core(TM) Processor, no one cares or makes big blog post on HN about it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4046964 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4046964

My bad, I was trying to link to the Lumia 920 advert where they apologized for lying after the fact. Here is a better link: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-09-06/hardware/33648559_1_lumia-pureview-camera-issues-apology http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-09-06/hardw... The advert was apparently done by a Microsoft affiliated marketing firm, so it made sense (to me) to include it. In regards to your second point, Google and others often make mistakes in their adverts. Microsoft creates deliberate lies and seeks to create confusion and falsehood. Much like your post, to be honest. Have you considered a job on Microsoft's marketing department? I believe they are desperately seeking talent.

  Affiliated marketing firm means MSFT made the claim or guilt by association? The Lumia 920 camera issue was wholly the responsibility of Nokia, thus why they issued the statement. It doesn't seem unusual that partners on a device might share marketing firms, so this link as an example is a bit of a stretch.
