Google Doodle: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2016

The settings for Dell Audio include...
Your Tube - Lecture

Nothing tastes better than...
A Homemade brand ice cream truck was seen on the freeway with decent graphics, however the layout failed to take into account the lifting platform on the rear of the trailer. Perhaps not all trailers have the lifting platform, but it could have made for an interesting ad as opposed to an eclipsed pint of ice cream.

Redbox SPF 99
The Redbox kiosk located in the atrium of the Walmart parking lot has the screen facing the windows, so I guess the glare or burnout was causing damage. Their solution was a "sunscreen." Visitors has to hold the shade up while making their selection.
Not a fun problem to address. At least they printed some inviting graphics on the shade.
