Reported on slashdot:

“Fresh from its ad featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld eating churros and discussing shoes, Microsoft has introduced a new advertisement in which the aging former CEO and comedian take up residence with a family, causing infighting and malicious plots by the family members. Although the ad does not mention Microsoft’s operating system directly, it does mirror the real world experience of the company’s products — appearing where not wanted, hard to remove, causing administration headaches, and finally being forced out in hopes of getting one’s living space back.”

What the hell is Microsoft trying to do? They are not sending any good message at all.

The first ad only works for those people who can see the subtlety (and those are more likely to be using Macs anyways). This second one is utter rubbish in my book. The poster above says it all.

Come on Bill if you wanna have clicky ads - dump Seinfeld!

This is a cool story.

They are offering a course in JEDI! I hope the examiner has a strong mind (unsuspecting to Jedi mind tricks)!

Well I finally found the time to resize the wedding photos for my Brothers wedding in Siena, Italy.

There are a lot of pics and the ones I have put up are in their original form (no cropping or adjustments).

The wedding was fantastic. They even played the Godfather love theme at the reception and with my brothers and cousins in their suits it felt totally authentic.

Heres to Sophie and Taher - many years of happy times ahead.. I love you guys

We are welcoming ‘Cookie’ to our little family. She is a rescue kitten (one of about 40 that were saved from being put down in Spain).

At 6 weeks old she is tiny and cute. Custard does not share that view however. He has given her several slaps already and as the week goes on I am sure she will get thumped a few more times before he accepts her.

Here is a piccy;

WOW is all I have to say!

Last night a few friends and I drove to Granada and saw Roger Waters live with Brain Damage. It was without a doubt the greatest live performance I have ever witnessed. It was awesome. Roger is a crowd pleaser in every sense and the support of his group was astounding.

The live performance of all the tracks (varied and most of the Dark Side of the Moon), was purely brilliant - they didn’t miss a beat. Having not been old enough to experience the whole trippiness of their music in the 70’s, I found myself mesmerized to such an extent that I can almost imaging what the chemical induced trips must have started out like.

It was a 3hr drive each way (although I did it in less time ) , and well worth the evil headache I have this morning.

This was the Granada leg of his Dark Side of the Moon tour and is the final tour where this will be played.
