I know there’s been a lot of “stuff” put up here in the last few days but I’m slowly going through my mail box and clearing out all the old emails that have flown back and forward between me and some of the other guys. This one was from Ollie Gee… props bud!

I always seem to come across anti Microsoft snippets (I guess there’s more of them around in the ether than there is of any other company). I’d expect the balance to change a little over coming years as Apple tightens its grip on the user experience but that’s a story for another day.

Anyhow, a little behind the curve on this one, and only worth a click if you’re a bit nerdcore.

How to make windows 7 look really good.

Happy Saturday.

This one is especially for James really. I’ve been storing up a bunch of little posts that I haven’t got around to putting up yet, but I will sooner rather than later. This is one of those ones that makes you snigger a little. One of the chaps over at reddit noticed this little blunder by Evil Corps… (hint, look at the picture, not IE/MS)

Maybe it’s something in the air at the moment, or maybe it’s because the darkness is drawing in early but it appears that all that fumbling in the dark has caused a few data “blunders”. Just when you think there’s something pretty bad coming out of the Apple stable (there appears to be a bug in Snow Kitten that just deletes all your data) but Redmond comes bounding back on to the stage, re-affirming it’s position as the bumbling idiots of IT. Oh yes, Microsoft have managed to “almost certainly” loose all the data that customers paid them to look after.

… we (Microsoft) must now inform you that personal information stored on your device – such as contacts, calendar entries, to-do lists or photos – that is no longer on your Sidekick almost certainly has been lost

No official line yet on Apple doing similar, but we’re holding tight for Google.

Whilst I’m in the throws of trying to decide for myself whether or not to plump for a new iPhone when it finally comes onto Vodafone it’s painfull to hear that Windows Mobile 6.5 will arrive soon and it’s likely to suck.

I’ve loved my Windows Smartphones for many years now, mainly because of its fantastic integration with Exchange, but iPhone has that now too so what am I left with in Windows?

Decide amongst yourselves.

Microsoft has a long and distinguished history of utterly mind bendingly bad marketing schemes and adverts, but this one really makes you want to eat your own head.

Enjoy!
