How Halo 3 Became The Biggest Game Launch Of All... →
How did Microsoft pull it off? They were a boring, monolithic software company helmed by Bill Gates, the world’s biggest geek. They made Windows. They made spreadsheet software and word processing programs.

“As I am in Germany I just checked if there is a store carrying these products, and there really is a store just 5 minutes away.So, in my lunchbreak I’ll check if they have the canned cheesburger, buy it and open it (and if they don’t have them then I will order one).Then I alone will know the secrets what really is in there”

Under 30s not happy as oldies invade social media →

Qtrax: the most jacked-up, disappointing launch in... →
I can’t recall a launch this hyped that failed so miserably in recent years. None of the key pieces are there—the licenses, playable music, well-tested client code, the web site itself—yet they opened it to the public. This won’t wean anyone from P2P, it will drive them back.

The 12 Most Ridiculous Auctions on EBay →
Look long enough on eBay and you’ll find an item that the mere knowledge of its existence brings shock and dismay. Then, you must cope with the fact that the seller thought we would be willing to pay good money for it, and then come to terms with the fact that usually they’re right.

A musician named Tonedeff won the Lolapalooza Last Band Standing contest in 2006. Part of the prize package was “$10,000 worth of equipment from our friends at Gibson. (yes, believe it!).” Well, Tonedeff believed it, and he’s spent the last year and a half trying to get Gibson to make good on their promise.

Our New Friends →
I think we all blog less in January. That’s my opening excuse. Anyway, we’ve got some exciting news. We’ve recently made friends with MOO. MOO.com print your photos onto real life stuff - like minicards, postcards, greeting cards and stickers. Yes, even stickers. We use them as business cards and they are 150% more fun than your business cards.
We’ve been long-time MOO...
