Saw the latest Mac ad. In it Hodgman tries to buzz the Mac guy every time he tries to say Vista. These are getting more and more boring, negative and pointless. Come Mac folks, Think different!

Also on the topic of buzzing, while its competitors are busy making bricks and unfunny ads, MS went ahead and got a patent for live filtering of objectionable words.

A lot of people are hoping to see this in profanity filter to show up Xbox and other voice communications, I was wondering how come we never implemented something similar in Live messenger and Outlook for textual communication. May be they expect the authors to do the censoring using backspace and delete keys. There’s no undo key in speech, just the post-faux pas words “oops sorry” :)
