Server Quest

LOL. Microsoft has created a King's Quest-type game—complete with EGA graphics and a horrible 80's-era soundtrack—called Server Quest that's designed to um, promote something ... or something. It's cute.

Apple bores at Microsoft-esque WWDC keynote

Yikes. Most Steve Jobs keynotes are entertaining and interesting. But Apple proved at today's WWDC keynote that it can be every bit as boring and repetitive as Microsoft is at its own keynote events. Consider the following walk-through of today's event, summarized for your convenience: Jobs:...

Wii Dishwashing Champion: Exactly

LOL. This video pretty much says it all when it comes to the Wii. Good stuff. (Plus this was a cheap way for me to see if Windows Live Writer's improved Insert Video functionality actually works. In case it doesn't: Go here .)

Hell on earth

OK, I'm just kidding. But someone has created a MySpace for ... Apple fanatics . So now you can go to one place that combines nauseating site design with jackbooted fanaticism. It's like multitasking, kind of. :) The MySpace for the rest of us (Steve will call, but we'll be too busy) An online...
