Ellen Broke a Record with Samsung, Breaks Hearts with her iPhone

At 2 million retweets and counting. How many iPhones is that anyway, Samsung?

In case you were asleep like half the viewing audience, this picture was taken by Ellen DeGeneres in the audience — a selfie tweeted ’round the world. As covered by our Tonya Garcia, it was a record-breaking picture eclipsing the shot taken of President Obama getting handsy with the First Lady.

Good times, right? Not if you are Samsung.

You see, if you have the Oscars on the DVR, rewind it to the historic selfie and you will see a clear positioning of product placement for Android phone manufacturer, Samsung.
