WTF Microsoft?

The Redmond software giant have been airing their two new ads recently, certainly as a response to the long-running series of "I'm a Mac - I'm a PC"-ads from the Get a Mac campaign. I watched both and seriously, what are they talking about? Is it really a good idea to bore people out... I was hoping for something better when they announced Jerry Seinfeld would be featured in the ads, but this is not good. Check it out for yourself.

Can somebody explain to me, please? I feel confused... 

End of the world? Yeah whatever...

This is so funny. Some people seem really concerned about tomorrow's upcoming experiment at CERN with the Large Hadron Collider (yepp, it's the same CERN and the same LHC as described in Dan Brown's Angels & Demons – let's hope they'll create antimatter, just like in the book ;)). So what's their concern? Well, they think that during the experiment, except the particles the scientiets are looking for, they might as well incidentally create a black hole! Yeah right... that's what I'm saying. But they're serious. Just take a look at this apocalyptic video:

The scientists at CERN have replied with – what they believe is – a "cool" message. One of the most pathetic music videos ever, gotta love it! :D

Well, we'll see if we're still alive by tomorrow. Oh gosh I'm so worried right now... shit ;). Bye!

Back, for a little while

Hi folks!
Just recently, I returned from the short vacation in Borlänge. Beautiful scenery, I've got tons of pictures which I'll try to upload during the next few days. As I returned, I read a couple of interesting news stories that I'd like to share with you.

First of all, there's a new "thing" on iTunes Store called iTunes U. It looks like a co-operation between Apple and some universities and colleges in the States, and the result is a lot of classes, from schools like MIT, PennState or Berkeley, available online - for free! There's a broad range of classes availeble and if your interessted I recommend you to check it out at iTunes Store->iTunes U.

The other news is the introduction of something called Microsoft Surface. I saw a demonstration of this kind of device about a year ago at some Internet TV Channel on Democracy. Then, it was a scientist introducing a working device, and it made a huge impression on me. Now it looks as Microsoft is rolling it out in the winter of 2007. Go to the website and check out those three short video films now! It's seriously cool stuff...

Sweet little video

It's an old one, but I haven't seen it until a friend (;-)) found it today and since it's a blast to watch I highly recommend it!
It's about a small, flightless bird - Kiwi. Here it is:



And hey, stay tuned for more updates later on this week!

One of those must-see videos

While reading my daily RSS feeds today, I ran across this video. Featuring Jobs & Gates, and some other special guests, definitely worth watching, if so for the Finder song. Not as geeky as one might think, so give it a go!

Microsoft Norway Demos Vista on a Mac

As The Unofficial Apple Weblog wrote earlier this week...

"Some things just speak for themselves. In this video on the Norwegian site VG TV (apparently associated with Norway's largest newspaper), a Microsoft Norway executive demonstrates Vista on what is clearly an Intel iMac (they don't even bother to hide the Apple logo)."

Now this is great!

Whiteboard-animation

Såg detta på YouTube idag. Rätt cool video där en kille tecknar på whiteboardtavlan en musikvideo. Synd bara att jag inte kan teckna sådär, men finns andra som kanske blir inspirerade...

Zune eller den nya Shuffle?

Idag introducerade Microsoft Zune och CNN har lagt upp en rätt så bra video där de pratar lite kort om den nya MP3-spelaren från Redmond. Kan vara värt att se om man inte har en aning om vad Zune är (vill vara?) men vänta mot slutet, då den kvinliga reportern tar fram sin nya iPod Shuffle och alla börjar hylla den. Slutar med att hon frågar "Why would I buy that [ Zune]?", och Microsoft spelare blir kallad för "clumsy"... Kanske bäst att önska Microsoft lycka till! ;-)
