Microsoft drops a brick on resellers

Stone the crows

By Adamson Rust: Wednesday 03 May 2006, 15:07
RESELLERS have received a missive from Microsoft lovingly gift-wrapped by Volish gnomes.

We don’t know how much postage it cost Microsoft or which work force was used to scour the beautiful English countryside for the contents of the package.

But after all these efforts, it’s pretty clear that the message is in the medium. µ

What ever works I guess?

Officials seized the creature after noticing its white fur was scattered with brown patches and that it had the long claws and humped back of a grizzly. Now a DNA test has confirmed that it is indeed a hybrid — possibly the first documented in the wild.

It is just a shame that the bear is dead.

T.O. commuters told Stephen Harper ‘eats babies’

T.O. commuters told Stephen Harper ‘eats babies’

Bemused Toronto commuters were repeatedly informed that “Stephen Harper eats babies” after a hacker tampered with advertising signs on city trains.

The scrolling electronic signs that usually carry transit updates and advertisements on Toronto’s westbound Lakeshore GO Transit trains carried the messages Thursday, Friday and Monday after the hacker used a remote-control device to re-program the wording and mock the prime minister.

The ingenious hacker made sure that suburban commuters in at least five different cars continued to get his or her subliminal message.

Commuter Gerry Nicholls said he thought he was hallucinating as he relaxed in his seat for the 35-minute GO train ride between Toronto and his Oakville home.

Every three seconds, the scrolling electronic sign read: “Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies,” Nicholls told the Toronto Star.

I am not going tp say the obvious…
