If the $US3 billion ($3.9 billion) predicted to be spent on this year’s US Congressional election campaigns were not enough, there is also the imminent launch of Microsoft’s first new version of Windows since 2001, which will crank up advertising budgets across the technology sector.

And then there is the emerging contest for the digital living room, which already has Apple saturating the airwaves with ads for its revamped iPod music players and iTunes digital music and movies. (more…)
