Brief notes

1. Dickhead of the Week Award (this used to be a monthly award, but there are so many about these days) goes to… well, see if you can spot him in this clip from the BBC.

2. Apparently, this ad is supposed to make us all want to go out and buy lots of Microsoft products. Personally, I can’t see how one overly-paid, ham-acting American is going to convince anyone that Microsoft are all soft and cuddly after all. And Bill’s no better….

3. Have you tried Google Chrome yet? I haven’t because the Mac version isn’t available yet - even though they based it (at least in part) on WebKit, which is what underpins Safari - but its been the talk of the tech blog world all week. (Frankly, I’m getting a bit bored of it now, in the same way that I did with all the hoopla that surrounded the iPhone launch). Is it any good? Does it live up to the hype? How do you feel about Google taking over every aspect of your online life in the same way that Microsoft took over your desktop? Why do we, as users, seem to love it when Google does it and hate it when Microsoft does..

4. Is it just me or has Sarah Palin given her kids some really stupid ass names?

5. The McCann’s have apparently spent £1m trying to find missing daughter Madeleine. Kate McCann says “A child does not have a price”. Pity she didn’t have that opinion on the evening that she and her husband left their three children - the oldest of whom, Madeleine, was only three - alone while they went out for dinner with friends.

1. It’s either the Fire Officer checking the ground with the stick AFTER the guy walking in front of him or the knob thinking “I’ve got a Jeep - I can drive anywhere”. News flash moron - It’s not a Land Rover and that’s a river!

2. Buy? Microsoft? Nah. Haven’t even watched the ad.

3. Tried to install it and it told me I needed SP2 for XP. Fail.

4. Not as good as Talula Does The Hula From Hawai

@Collin:

4. Saw that one a little while ago - what were they thinking?
