Apple Fanboys once again make a comeback with the Rap Video, which is aimed at ripping off Microsoft (particularly Windows). Why the hell is everyone always comparing both these OS’s?
I am not sure if many of you know about this, but this campaign is run by Parallel, yea the software for Mac to run Windows on it virtually.
Video after break. BTW this video contains explicit language so kids, beware.
Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer will surely not like this one, a portrait made up of hundreds of BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) visuals and Guess who found it? Fake Steve!
Anyways, he tells that soon they will give a print ready version of the image so that you can frame it and distribute it among those people whom you don’t like, during the holiday season. Have a look at it.

Windows is the most used Operating system on earth no matter what you say, it covers 90% of the general market (I don’t want to take any favour) and so there you go with 5 unusual shortcuts for windows.
1) Copy content from windows dialog boxes
How many times has your non-techie uncle from far away come across an error dialog box, which he wanted you to look into? Rather than explaining him to do a print screen and all the other rigmarole. You can ask him to click anywhere on the dialog box press Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V into notepad or email
2) Bring up Systems Properties dialog
Wanted to see your system information? Just use Win Key + Pause/Break
3) Bring up File/Folder properties dialog
Select any number of Files or Folders and press Alt + Enter to see the properties.
4) Navigate to your “Home Folder”
Usually by default the “Home Folder” in windows is C:\Documents and Settings\ to go there without navigating the whole way simply go to Start -> Run and type “.”
5) Save time cropping your screenshots.
Use Alt + PrtScrn to take a screenshot of only the active window, saving you countless hours of cropping fun.
Windows 7 with 7000 Dominoes
Windows 7 marketing strategies have been good, yes very good. From the burger whopper to offering freebies in places and launching their own cafe’s and retails stores. These were the best ways windows 7 could be promoted.
But launching it with dominoes? No one did think about it, correct? No, Guys at Hyderabad, Microsoft India did think and got it into action. They used 7000 dominoes to unveil windows 7 logo along with some fireworks above it. At a point, it does hang out somewhere in between (resembles Windows) but no one is perfect so thats alright.
Lastly, they got some balloons joined together to form the windows symbol which looked pretty cool! Video After Break.

There are many blogs out there worth following. But, there are some blogs from which you can’t take your eyes off. Now, if you have a blog/webpage like that on your than this trick is useful for you. With this trick, you can make any webpage as your desktop background and be completely updated.
To do this trick,
1) Copy the following code in the notepad.
2) Replace http://www.favoritewebpage.com to your desired webpage. You can also change the body background (bgcolor) to your desired color by changing the hexadecimal code.
After copying and doing the necessary edits,save the document as “.html” file. Now you have to see a webpage icon instead of notepad icon.
Now, right-click on your desktop and go to “Properties” dialog. There select “Desktop” tab and click on “Browse”. Browse the above file and apply it as the desktop background.
That’s it! Now, you can see your favorite webpage on your desktop always. Here is a pic of how it looks.
Ah. Today’s Microsoft Commercials are too, advanced i suppose 
But Here’s a interesting piece of art i found on YouTube. It seems to be a very old Youtube Ad which i think is surely made before 1999 when the Office Assistant actually came out from the Box.
Comparing it to today, i think the world has changed too much, especially in technology. Well, it’s still not clear if the ad is the first microsoft ads, but anyways it’s worth checking out. The song playing in the background is hilarious though. Video After the Break.
Well, this is a very nasty situation which you would not like to get yourself in, but apparently, Neowin reported that about 10,000 of the Windows Hotmail accounts had been hacked, and their passwords had been posted to pastebin.com, a Website for developers tho share codes, etc.
Don’t feel happy that you can get into someone’s account, because the list has been removed by the website after it was published on 1st October.
Most of the accounts hacked were @live.com, @hotmail.com and @msn.com. While it has been found that most of the accounts were from UK users who used the Mail service.
This gives Serious blow to Microsoft, and this may be caused due to some loophole or something.
There has been no response form Microsoft, but we are waiting for Microsoft’s answer. Also, Please do change your password immediately and the security question too. Well, this could be a part of Mass Phisihing Scheme or something we’re not sure about. Stay tuned for Updates.
Update : The List from A-B has just 10,000 Email id’s and so you can guess the lists till z will have how much information!
