In keeping with the music theme here is a more entertaining video.

too funny, I've been working with MS Select D and enterprise licensing for years. I dread needing to find anything in that horrid mess.

Must be a slow news day.

The best slow news day segment I saw was "Man attacks policeman with lawnmover" a few years back in England. Classic.

Hey - have you guys seen that page with the dancing hamster?

Yeah, old.

Anyway, as a technically oriented person, I kinda like MS's boxing. It gives specs, gives requirements, shows the different components you get in the different versions, and doesn't feature Bono.

Wait, so instead of minimal-chic design and irrelevant black and white photos, the Microsoft box would actually have information about the product on it? HOW DARE THEY!

SrWapo right there with you. I find information on what I need to use the product much more useful than a celebrity doing some goddamn air guitar.

What makes it actually funny is that someone at Microsoft made this video.

That doesn't make it news. Though, it's not news, it's fark.com.

You do realize that this Family Guy bit was a parody of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, right? How many people watch Family Guy and don't get 80% of the jokes?

Pee Wee's Big Adventure? What about Back to the Future! Seriously though have you never heard of Rube Goldberg?

The gag in Family Guy is Peter sitting blithely in front of a loaded gun expecting...breakfast.

Rube Goldberg and Back to the future didn't use that exact same music Lazarus, it was definitely a reference to pee-wee

Philoetus is exactly right. Pee-Wee has the same music for a machine that works the same way and makes him breakfast.

/Nice try.
