Microsoft Mojave Experiment Website

I find this amusing, so I had to write about.

I’ve been watching TV and I keep seeing this *stupid* windows commercial tricking people into thinking there is a new Windows called ‘Mojave’ but it’s really Vista.  Then it says go to mojaveexperiment.com to “see what they saw” however you can’t use anything but Internet Exploder to view that site (so that rules out pretty much all Mac customers aka Microsoft’s real competition (other than Windows XP users)).

Then if you just so happen to have Internet Explorer installed you are asked to install Silverlight prior to viewint the site, and if you go to install Silverlight it recommends windows Vista.

So I ask you Microsoft; why are you running a advertising campaign for Windows Vista but one should preferrably have Vista installed to even view said advertisement??!!  I mean viewers without internet explorer can’t even view your advertisement… what good is a advertisement if your target market CAN’T EVEN VIEW IT!!

Asinine.

5 Things to do to make life at home after work actually relaxing

1. Hire a cleaning service, no you’re not lazy, no you shouldn’t be ashamed.  Get someone to clean you house so you aren’t coming home from a long day of hard work to only do more hard work before you pass out from exhaustion.

2. Purchase some iRobots so you don’t have to have the cleaning service over as much, I”ve got a Roomba and a Scuba both on automated schedules that pretty much keep the entire house free from dust and cat hair on the floors, it’s very very nice.

3. Do yourself a favor and spring for that big LCD you’ve always wanted and HDTV.  It then doesn’t matter if nothing good is on if that nothing good is in HiDef

4. Get a big ass leather recliner to watch #3 in.

5. Get yourself some super super high thread count sheets for your bed and pillows, it’s amazing how much better of a sleep you’ll get and how much quicker you’ll fall asleep if you’re immersed in extreme comfort.
