Too good to be true – Damn you MS

A few days back,  I posted an advert from Microsoft where they sent a cute redhead out to go buy a laptop for less than $1000.

Just to make a point, the first store she visited was an Apple store. We didn’t see the inside of the store, and we didn’t see the prices, but it was made quite clear that it was very expensive.

CrunchGear dug up the truth about the participant, who turned out to be an actor (Lauren De Long).

Unfortunate Google Ad placement

Chrome vs Firefox

Oops. So is the way to speed up Firefox, by installing Google Chrome?

Macs are for Elitist people

Or, thats what Microsoft wants you to believe.

Check out this ad from Microsoft, which basically states that only rich, cool people can own a Mac. And only if you’re willing to lower your standards too.

Now I’m not saying that MS is right. Its like comparing apples and oranges.

MS write software, Apple write software AND make the hardware that its designed to run on.

Bye Bye Adsense

Okay, seeing as I was earning absolutely nothing with them, I’ve removed them from the site.
They just looked out of place anyway.

VW Adverts

VW Have always had some brilliant adverts, so I’ve decided to put a few of them together in one place.
Enjoy.
