Samsung blew away the competition, including its nemesis in Cupertino, when it came to the reach of its online videos this year—producing the No. 1 campaign, and three of the top four, on Visible Measures' new list of the most-watched technology ad campaigns of 2012.

Samsung's campaign for the Galaxy S III, making fun of Apple's cult of fans, tops the Visible Measures list with almost 72 million "True Reach" views, which Visible Measures defines as a combination of paid, owned and earned media performance.
