The ad ‘Parisian Love’ aired during the third quarter of the SuperBowl and is the first ever television commercial by search engine and advertising giant Google. Google’s Eric Schmidt tweeted that he couldn’t wait to the commercial, and in an obvious allusion to his 2005 speech mentioned something about “hell freezing over.” What does this have to do with the iPhone?
