Worst Microsoft Ads Ever; How cellular handset exclusivity fails

Voices of Networking

Related News:

Worst Microsoft Ads Ever
After the online-only "puking" ad began making headlines across the Internet, Microsoft today pulled the ad from all Microsoft and third-party video Web sites - including the dedicated IE8 site, Browser for the Better. This isn't the first time a Microsoft ad has created controversy, or at least buzz. Here's a list of some more (least?) memorable ad efforts from Microsoft.

How cellular handset exclusivity fails
I suppose that some people did buy iPhones because the phones worked on the AT&T cellular network. This is supposition on my part because I have not seen any articles claiming this to be the case nor have I read any blogs commentaries that support the concept.

Six Windows 7 Features Admins Will Actually Care About (and Four They Won't)
I am running the Windows 7 Beta and I can't help noticing that many of the new features or enhancements are items Admins couldn't care less about. It takes a deeper look to find the reasons Admins will want to bring Windows 7 to their users.

Irrational rights
Mark Gibbs discusses the award of $1.92 million damages to the RIAA in the case of a single mother accused of pirating songs.

Janitors, Chambers and Protesters at Cisco Live, Oh My.
I was sent this very good story of Cisco having issues at Cisco Live with the Chambers demonstrations. But the story was more of Chambers being heckled by people from the Union Local 1877, that's right these are the janitors that Chambers fired. I wonder if the buy American Group will be the next to come heckle Chambers?

Tactics to sell IE8: free Nickelback track and vomit
Are Microsoft's latest tactics to get folks to download Internet Explorer 8 funny, disgusting, obnoxious or effective?

Microsoft yanks 10 old patches down; smells like anti-Linux FUD
With nearly no explanation, Microsoft sent out an alert notifying customers that it was removing download information for 10 security patches "because Microsoft Java Virtual Machine is no longer available for distribution from Microsoft."

If you had to choose?
Four times I've read this sentence from a press release and it makes no more sense the fourth time than the first: "If caught in the rain with a choice of a mobile phone or an umbrella, nearly 37 percent of Americans would choose their mobile phone."

Sometimes Slower Can Be Better
A few years ago, I sprung for some 15,000 rpm SCSI drives to run my HP engineering workstation. That's still a high water mark in terms of spindle speed. Even today, the most common speed for workaday drives seems to be 7200 rpm. So it was pretty interesting for me to notice that some mainstream hard drive vendors are actually slowing their drives down!

July Giveaways
