That campaign is easily the most moving/effective I have ever seen. I constantly cite it as an example of the potential beauty in post. Granted I can be a sucker for marketing-speak, but even the most cynical of you...

LOL, I was going to point that out, but you beat me to it Classic.

BTW: The part that says:
The Xbox 6 is rumoured to have 8 Rock III Sun SPARC processors, each with 128 cores, and 34 floating-point units per core. Gamers can expect the most realistic version of Project Gotham Racing to date.

Should more accurately read ...
The Xbox 6 is rumoured to have 8 Rock III Sun SPARC processors, each with 128 cores, and 34 floating-point units per core. Gamers can expect to pay $200 for the same kinds of games they've been playing since the Playstation 1 was released in the mid-90's Sun, 19 Mar 2006 21:33:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (WorknMan) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?105777 http://osnews.com/thread?105777 No, according to the GPL v 5, girlfriends are not allowed unless they are shared freely with the community.

Now hold still Thom, this won't hurt a bit ;-).

The part about Thom being crazy and burning down Apple stores was funny. I was about to neuter him for making fun of KDE until I saw that he also made fun of Gnome, now I think it's fair. It may be a little too suble to be noticed (hehe) but I think Thom was poking fun at some of the more common troll posts.

i thought it was pretty funny, actually; we had a good chuckle about it on irc today. it's good to laugh at ourselves from time to time =) Sun, 19 Mar 2006 22:19:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (aseigo) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?105784 http://osnews.com/thread?105784 I don't know what your talking about.. BUT I am sure that on 2019 my beloved C-one (www.c64upgra.de) WILL be able to RUN the C64 core WITH full emulation... :-)''''
Also, you are a bit wrong.. on 2019, the ilife wont be 14 DVDs.. just ONE and ONLY media.. (that holds some TBs)
OSX and VISTA ? on that era?? bah..
Jobs (he will be 64yo on 2019 and changes for the Nth time CPU/Architecture.. LOL ) maybe there will be one common OS..

Ah, great to hear: that was exactly my aim with this week's column. I wanted to hold up some mirrors here and there, in a light tone. I wanted to remind everyone that we shouldn't be so serious about everything in this industry: in the end, there are a lot more really important things in the world.

Why else did you guys think I'd make fun of myself, Eugenia, and OSNews?

The quality of OSNews articles seems to be fluctuating out of control these days.
