Apple + Microsoft vs Google

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

The days are numbered for all the Mac vs PC debates. Apple and Microsoft may be once again harmoniously holding hands as they skip down digital lane to beat the crap out of the neighbourhood bully that is Google.

Now that Google has their own phone, own OS, own voice channel (US only, so far), own search and own applications – this is an all out strike against Apple who have had similar products, even before the search giant had.

It appears that Apple maybe ditching Google’s search string in favour of Microsoft’s “Bing!”. Many Mac users are like, wtf mate. And it’s rumored that Apple are even creating their own search engine. High hopes.

Anyways, competition is always grand.

New Zealand has a new mobile phone carrier (bringing the total up to, three carriers) called 2 Degrees. They have a new advert out featuring Rhys Darby (Murray from Flight of the Conchords) which is pretty funny.

New Microsoft ads, sort of funny

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

New viral adverts, promoting Microsoft’s latest browser IE8 are actually a little bit funny.

At first i thought it was going to be another Seinfaild, but this one actually made me snigger:

I think it’s the act of making it look like it’s been poorly edited which got me.

The annoyance factor

Friday, June 19th, 2009

MS Entourage is an annoying little bugger. Typical bloated software from MS which has so much going on, on the interface its quite frightening to realise that it’s “just an email/notes/calendar” application.

But I tried to receive an email with a JS attachment and was immediately blocked. Hmph.. i thought. Must be able to save the file somehow.

NO! MS Entourage just blocks the attachment altogether, and there’s no solution… or is there? This is MS help, at it’s best:
ms-wtf
