Microsoft’s new promotional video for the upcoming Windows Marketplace reeks of overproduced, boardroom inspired, convention style advertising. Here are some of the more humorous tidbits from the video: “Browse through a myriad of options, and check their ratings with a 5 star system” – Wow, a 5 star system?! “Purchase the application and it downloads […]

Supposedly, the following photo came from a Russian magazine. Some are calling this rending a rumor, but we call Bullsh*t and will appropriately call it a concept instead. Anyways, check out a supposed pic of Apple’s upcoming netbook, originally posted on 9to5Mac.
