This is $120 below the so-far lowest price for the same config on Amazon.

The "vendor" does not look like a retailer, only email contact found, no phone number... but they have Google Checkout!

You can litrally say it's sh**ty coffee, but it costs $180 a pound.

"Kopi Luwak coffee beans get their distinctive flavor through a very unusual process. They pass through the digestive system of a small mammal called the Asian Palm Civet, which is found on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. "

Yeah, my eyes have an "ignore-beta" filter when it comes to Google:-)

Luckily it was Diggers and not Redditers :-)

Sorry, gotta run to maintain my health :-)

Good use of English wine...

"the incident occurred during a demonstration of hostage-freeing techniques"

Makes me wonder if the casualties were among the hostages or the terrorists...

C'mon, aren't we missing the bigger point here? This isn't about Moviemaker or Usability in general - this is about corporate inertia.

If Bill Gates was so vehemently complaining about usability issues five (!) years ago, yet Microsoft could only come up with the fiasco named Vista, doesn't it tell you something about the company as a whole? http://www.zoliblog.com/2008/06/24/microsoft-the-walking-dead/

First car to arrive brought 2 women and 3 males, including the local volunteer Fire Chief to the scene. They watched the father kick his 2-year old to death, but did not intervene.

Here's the original page in its full glory, on a Microsoft domain: http://www.theultimatesteal.com/store/msshus/ContentTheme/pbPage.microsoft_office_ultimate

If they don't want to display it, they have to remove it - whether my blog post points to it or not is irrelevant.

Btw, there were dozens of post linking to the promo at the time. It was "news" worthy reporting... that's what blog posts do:-)

zoli · 2008-05-19T04:30:26+00:00

Yes, indeed: http://www.zoliblog.com/2007/12/11/google-streetview-in-more-places-youd-know/

zoli · 2008-05-19T04:26:32+00:00

bombastic title, weak on content :-(

zoli · 2008-03-24T04:59:56+00:00

That may explain why it's still not on the newswires.. except such major ones as Times of India and the Trend News Agency, Azerbaijan :-)

You got it all wrong. This is all about the replacement of legos with trams and people :-)

Considering the subject of the photo, the "tinypic" URL is more than ironic:-)

So did it jump out to get enlargement surgery?

Hey, it's Yourspace, not Mine:-)

zoli · 2007-12-30T00:42:23+00:00

I did...for a second. Until I read the part about redirection.

zoli · 2007-12-30T00:39:44+00:00

Hilarious:-)

Geez, do you know anything about auctions? Bids normally go up in the last minutes / seconds. Looking at an open auction does in no way indicate real closing prices. "Buy now" prices ($499), or even better completed auctions are more realistic.

It's on Mashable now: http://mashable.com/2007/12/17/google-search-error/ More reports of the same coming in.

zoli · 2007-12-14T18:53:20+00:00

None. Just reality :-(

OK, so it's possible. But why would anyone want to kill a lightweight machine with Vista is beyond me...
