New video shows ‘behind the scenes’ look at Cookie Monster’s Siri TV ad

If you’re like the many people who can’t get enough of Cookie Monster’s “Timer” TV ad promoting the iPhone 6s and its “Hey Siri” command, you now get a behind-the-scenes clip from it. The video shows alleged BTS shots from the original ad showing things like Cookie Monster getting hit in the head by a film slate. It even shows him finishing up all the cookies and wishing Siri good night at the end of the day. Timer is one of Apple’s most popular TV commercials as it has chalked up nearly nine million views already on the company’s official YouTube channel.

Quantum Break freezes time inside a burger joint in Toronto 

The action-packed thriller game, Quantum Break (Xbox One and Windows 10) released this week to much excitement and to celebrate the launch, fan events were hosted in 11 Microsoft stores in the U.S. and Canada.

Xbox Canada created Quantum Burger shop at the Hero Burger location.

The buzz is building on social media and we've been told that it is open until Friday -- but I suspect they may last through the weekend.
