A Bearded Poker Face Parody

Basically, all of the clicks for all the ads online come from only 16% of the surfers, and most of them come from just 4% of all internet users.

So, if you optimize your ads for clicks, it means you're ignoring a huge population.

If your business is built around the kind of person who clicks, you win. If it isn't, you either need to not buy ads online or buy ads optimized for attention and familiarity, not clicks.

The official release of Windows 7 is only a few weeks away, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably asking yourself what effect this will have on your lives.

With only pre-release versions and betas available for download, to get a copy of the actual release version, I had to turn to eBay, where leaked copies have shown up recently. $150 and two days later, a package of bubble wrapped, technological delights arrived on my doorstep. I giddily tore open the packaging to reveal the contents.

This review had me chuckling quite extensively. I recommend you read the full review, to learn about Windows 7's installation difficulties, poor hardware support, slight performance improvements but overall stability issues. ;)

A billion dollars is a lot of money right? Of course it is, but it can be difficult to visualize how big a billion actually is, compared to say, 7,800 billion.

That Windows 7 video won't go away. As suspected by @paulgroves, Charlie Brooker has proven Microsoft purposely made the ads painfully shite for pure viral effect:

To assist the party-hosting massive, they've also uploaded a series of spectacularly cringeworthy videos to YouTube, in which the four most desperate actors in the world stand around in a kitchen sharing tips on how best to indoctrinate guests in the wonder of Windows. If they were staring straight down the lens reading hints off a card it might be acceptable; instead they have been instructed to pretend to be friends. The result is the most nauseating display of artificial camaraderie since the horrific Doritos "Friendchips" TV campaign (which caused 50,000 people to kill themselves in 2003, or should have done).

It's so terrible, it induces an entirely new emotion: a blend of vertigo, disgust, anger and embarrassment which I like to call "shitasmia". It not only creates this emotion: it defines it. It's the most shitasmic cultural artefact in history. Watch it for yourself

Microsoft's latest promo video for Windows 7 has certainly raised a few eyebrows. Personally though, I think it's brillient! Well, certainly compared to this Windows promo video from the glorious days of 386. Enjoy...
