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…

I know that Pixar news isn’t exactly Apple news, but it’s my damn site and I thought this was funny.

OK, I admit I’m a hypocrite
I’ve bashed the morons who video themselves destroying iPhone before, but I must admit, I find this video of a Palm Pre being drowned like a witch to be very entertaining.
The story goes:
“This was a coworker’s third Pre in three months as the screen kept cracking. Once while charging and once in his front pocket. The bossman offered to get him an iphone if he killed his Pre. So, there ya go.”
Well, at least it didn’t die in vain. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader ishervin for the tip!
CSIphone: Paris
It’s rare to see a commercial for an iPhone repair facility that looks like it cost more to make than any Apple-produced commercial for the iPhone itself, yet here we have a very impressive CSI-like commercial for French iPhone repair company Perccia. The plot revolves around a murdered iPhone, a very hot forensic scientist, and a man who likes extreme close ups of himself. I don’t want to give away the ending… But the dog did it.
Bad Dog!
Thanks to faithful German Macenstein reader Tim for the link!
