oh bing… you silly search engine

Posted: June 24, 2010

saw this on twitter today. someone said “go to bing and type in ‘how do i get’ and see what comes up first – comedy. i actually like bing even though i don’t really use it that much. i am institutionalized to google. i think it is funny that microsoft is bribing people to use [...]

microsoft lowers the bar again

Posted: September 24, 2009

ever since vista flopped microsoft has been putting all of its focus on windows 7. which i have heard is actually a pretty impressive operating system. however, they are still taking the bizarre lifestyle approach to marketing as they did with songsmith. this video above is as weird as it gets. it makes me wish [...]

microsoft – “we do not like black people”

Posted: August 26, 2009

i love this story but i am not surprised. advertising sometimes is not too far off from blatant racism. social profiling and stereotyping is everywhere and in cases like this it sometimes leaks. microsoft put together an ad that they later decided to make some ethnic (sloppy) changes to. katu says it best: A photo [...]

microsoft… you make it so easy…

Posted: January 26, 2009

…for me to loath you. so i keep hearing about how microsoft is doing really really effin’ bad right – and i personally think it has to do with them doing weird meaningless shit… i mean shit that even if it makes no logical sense they will still persist in hopes of transforming your brain [...]

mike dick + his zune pwned.

Posted: December 31, 2008

apparently this dude broke in on an 88 year old woman. he chose to not wear clothes and when he decided to attack the old lady she grabbed his twig + berries. and i bet she just downright owned them. after she did her handwork he was out like lightning. a loud voice probably went [...]

the zune sucks + chuck norris isn’t gay

Posted: November 20, 2008

i hate the zune. for many reasons. and one of them isn’t because i am an ipod fan – cause i’m not. my wife bought me a 1gb shuffle years ago – 1st generation! i hate the zune because microsoft couldn’t help but compete in the mp3 market. if portable gaming devices became wildly popular [...]

microsoft now has porn mode

Posted: August 29, 2008

golly the news is dumb sometimes. i am trying to understand why microsoft is getting so much press about the new private browsing feature they are going implement with the new internet explorer 8. apples safari had it a while ago as well as firefox. it allows you to basically browse the web while wiping [...]

this is my ugly sister christa… i mean vista

Posted: April 14, 2008

yes, from time to time i like to bash microsoft. in june microsoft plans on taking windows xp off the shelf so that vista can finally claim full reign as the new operating system to end all operating systems. the only problem is that it sucks total balls. so much even that an online petition [...]
