This is exactly why I won’t eat at Johnny Rockets

Man, I was JUST about to break down and go to the Microsoft store when luckily faithful Macenstein reader Chuck sent us this video of a COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS AND UNSTAGED employee dance session. As with all Microsoft Store videos, the best part is watching the reactions (or complete lack thereof) of the hapless customers, who I assume were just there to get out of the rain or something.
This looks scary as hell
I have yet to see the film “Paranormal Activity”, but if it’s half as scary as this trailer for “PC Normal Activity”, well, then… well it won’t be all that scary, actually. (Although my inner fanboy did cringe a couple times). Enjoy!
A bit of back story on the origin of PC Normal Activity is provided by its creator, Peter Yan .
“I don’t understand why PC users hate Macs and Mac users so much. Those quotes were picked from just some of many hatred comments from one of my videos.”
Well Peter, I think I know why most PC users hate Mac users. It basically comes down to the fact that most people do not like to see other people happy – for any reason. I know I sure don’t.
I’ve always felt that Mac users, in general, are happy to own a Mac and enjoy using it, where most PC users seem to look at their computers more like an appliance – something they use when they have to to complete a given task, but certainly nothing to get excited over. PC users don’t get that emotional attachment to their computers – or to their family, friends, and pets for that matter.
I mean, if I had a nickle for every kitten I’ve seen a PC user step on…

Hosting Your Windows 7 Torrenting Party
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Humor, Microsoft Bashing
Like many British skits, this parody of Microsoft’s “Host a Windows 7 launch party” video is pretty damn funny, right up until the very end where they obviously didn’t know how to end it. I almost would have preferred to see Monty Python’s giant Foot squash them, but still the concept is awesome, as is the first minute forty, so enjoy.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Phelim for the tip!

Fake excitement reaches new levels as Microsoft Store opens
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Cynicism, Microsoft Bashing, video
Faithful Macenstein reader Justin sent us this link of a video from the grand opening of the new Microsoft retail store in Scottsdale, AZ.
I won’t go into the whole “completely copying the look of the Apple Stores”, the color coded shirts of employees, and the “high fives” of the first customers that we’ve seen in hundreds of Apple Store openings over the years. But what I would like to draw your attention to is just how sad and confused the people seem to be once they actually get into the store. All the fake excitement and cheers from the employees gets them all worked up as they travel through a corridor of Star Trek extras until they are greeted by…. Three very elderly, unhip, suit wearing Microsoft corporate types. They then look around with vaguely puzzled “so… now what?” expressions as they realize there isn’t all that much to see or do in a store that basically sells corporate software. Although I guesss you could peruse the healthy selection of Zune cases…
