If Everything Was Made by Microsoft

May 2nd, 2009 jimcarter

Great list, the photo mashup’s are hilarious.  The winning photo is well deserving of it’s title.

If Everything Was Made by Microsoft | Cracked.com.

Back in the 90s, it looked like Microsoft might take over the world. But after ten years, Vista, the iPod, and a government lawsuit, we feel pretty safe saying that’s not happening. But we’re equally certain that it won’t be for a lack of trying. Whether they’re unleashing the Zune or hip new Microsoft Stores, their ambition is only matched by their painful lack of self awareness. So how long until they try their hand at making, well, everything else?

We asked you to show us what the world might look like if it really did run on Microsoft. The winner is below, but first the runners up.

Photosynth is Browser Compliant

April 22nd, 2009 jimcarter

After a long and painful (for me at least) wait, photosynth finally works simply in the browser with no fuss.  When they announced it earlier in the year (around January I think) i couldn’t even get it working in IE.  I got all kinds of fun issues about my browser being unsupported.  Nothing like a Microsoft site not working in a Microsoft browser eh?  Anyhow, I’m looking forward to wasting a few hours on this later today and hopefully starting up a few of them.  Link’age to follow.

That reminds me that I need to pickup the new iLife package soon. Finally a good reason to use iPhoto with the geolocaiton & facial recog. features.  Seeing as google added it into their image search and now this, the i can see the trend beginning already.

Rockin’ Vista with SP1

April 16th, 2008 jimcarter

This is beyond painful to watch, it almost hurts to look at.  However I have to give it to them, they did a great job laughing at themselves enough to take a marketing standpoint and talk about why you should use Vista now.

 

Nice work Microsoft PR.  You made your point, don’t ever do this again.
