    Unless you're MJWeb or AI you have nothing that I know of you need to be concerned about. AI on the other hand has a lot to be worried about.



    Either AI Apologizes to every room that is up for posting tonight for the posting incase anyone saw the BS or I'll forward it to every Blog, News site and Computer Forum board i go to. I'm a personal iReporter on CNN and use it all the time.



    Psst. You're making a fool of yourself. Go and have a mug of hot cocoa and lie down for a while.

    Apology will be posted to all users for this BS.



    I registered an account here just to say



    NonVendorFan, were you dropped on your head as a baby?



    Honestly how about you type in "bags of crack" into google images and then sue Google for having images of drugs.



    How dumb can you actually get? Get M$'s c*** out of your mouth and stop being a moronic troll.

    Apple Party.

    Joe, Pour beers for everyone. I can't I'm in an App right now, check with iPod it's allowed to do 2 things at once but only with other Apple apps. Better Check with every other Smart Phone and see if they are allowed to get beers for our guests.



    Ok, Great... We have Android, Palm Pre, Winmo now we can even talk at our Party and listen to music.



    Hey guys...



    The iPhone gets MMS on their Bricks on Friday. Let's send them some pictures and videos on Friday when they get a 10 year old feature.





    I have an extension on my iPhone called "backgrounder" which let's you run things in the background and quickly switch between apps, all i had to do is go through the AUTOMATED process of jailbreaking.

    Also I never realised that it was Apple's fault for the delay for AT&T's run out of MMS, I've been getting MMS for ages and who gives a crap, unless you're sending naked photos of yourself to that girlfriend you met on the internet I think email is a very free alternative. And iPhone users have been getting MMS via jailbreak apps anyways for ages

    C'mon, be serious.

    If that was Ballmer's breakfast, he'd be skinny and crazy bastard, not just fat and crazy muthuhfuckah.

    Although, it WOULD explain why he sweats so much!



    Selling this kind of "product" is exactly how Microsoft still manages to keep itself afloat after years of releasing crappy products that they have to pay to keep in stores (the XBox strategy). They got the idea from the Reagan Administration and the CIA.



    The entire concept of Windows 7 parties is ridiculous and pathetic. And it's not just that, it's that someone at Microsoft actually APPROVED this! Then wrote a check!



    I guess MS figures they'll NEVER have lines in front of stores for one of their OS releases ever again, so why not take it in doors where it won't won't be embarrassed in the press with the inevitable comparisons to, let's say, an Apple Store opening in a suburban mall somewhere outside Chicago.



    When nobody shows up, because nobody cares, no one will know! Brilliant!

    Heard at a Windows 7 Launch Party: "Here is a copy of Windows 7. Here is a bottle of vodka. Here is a gun." (via David Gerard)

    Yes, odd numbers work best. They needed a gay.

    Wonder if I can host a Windows 7 Trivia home party here in Brazil too!? Do they provide vomit bags in that kit???



    Seriously now, this has got to be a joke!!! Is it already 1st of April? It's unbelievable, how can one multi-billion dollar company make such HORRIBLE marketing! I think for the first time I feel bad about MS...

    Their marketers are worth their weight in comedic awfulness gold.

    Anyone catch the obvious audio edit that added in this line?

    Looks like a bunch of marketing people at MS have to justify their paychecks...

    1950's 'viral' marketing...didn't read the whole article or all the posts, maybe they are just doing this on a limited basis to film to make in ads like 'Lauren'
