"Ode to a Ford"

Looks as if the marketing guys over at the Blue Oval have cooked up a pretty interesting ad for the Ford Focus.

The "orchestra" has instruments made out of car parts and the ad makes it appear that these music makers actually work. Maybe they do.

So. Is it an ad? Is it an orchestra? Do these instruments really work? And finally, why?

Watch the video and judge for yourself.

Microsoft - stupid; Apple - smart

Another chapter in the seemingly endless comparison of Microsoft and Apple, and the OS that each is judged by.

A writer for Extreme Tech puts it bluntly:

"Frankly, there's no other way to say this: Microsoft is stupid and Apple is not," Jim Lynch writes for ExtremeTech.

"If you take a look at the history of OS design by each company, it's pretty clear why this is so. Microsoft has historically made an unreliable, ugly, and highly insecure operating system based on its own spaghetti/Swiss cheese code. This is no secret to anyone who has followed the industry or even used Windows on a daily basis. If you are a Windows users you MUST have spyware/virus/malware prevention software or, sooner or later, your machine is going to get nailed," Lynch writes.

We've been saying this all along. For years. And it's still fodder for the tech pubs. Amazing.
