Those were precious moments of my life I’ll never get back while I was waiting for a punchline!

I hate to tell you this, but it seems they do these on a regular basis.

Watch “I’m singing with my Apple laptop”

It’s a lame web page where you have to click down below to get it to load and start playing.

I love the fact that the girl is named Lisa, which is the name of Steve Jobs first daughter, and the name of an early Apple computer. I will agree with the “over-the-top” part, but I don’t think they know the meaning of the word irony.

Watch for the MacBook in the conference room in “Got to get those bonuses”

Fun times in Redmond.

Oh no, it refuses to play the DVD because I don’t have a monitor or TV with HDMI input. That’s OK, I’ll just put in a CD and play my music over my HiFi system. The sound is awful – but for some strange reason if I play the CD on Linux or via a CD player it sounds just fine. I guess bad sound is a small improvement on no sound; the machine used to tell me I needed something called an SPDIF to play my music. I tried to install a game I used to play on XP, but my game is telling me I don’t have an authorized version; I don’t understand that, I bought this game. This other game is telling me it won’t run because I’m running a debugger; I don’t even have a compiler installed on this machine.

Oh, I could go on and on but people might want to shoot me. The short story is, if you do everything the Microsoft Way you won’t have any problems. Don’t get any stupid ideas about being able to do what you want with your computer though.

And didn’t Ussher calculate that the Earth was created in 4004 BC, on the night preceding October 23 – i.e on October 22? Coincidence? Could the “7” refer to the seventh day, on which Jehovah rested? Has anyone contacted Dan Brown about this?

THIS, is the real version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LfeHbTkz6k . You really shouldn’t mislead your readers like that…
