I have no idea which version of Windows this is, older for sure. But it's so hillarious and crazy I had to post it. Have fun!

Breaking In to Windows

<blockquote>
Now that Microsoft's Windows 8 and Windows RT operating systems <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/1/3188541/windows-8-rtm-development-complete">have been finalized</a>, we're starting to see more and more ARM-based Windows RT tablets from OEMs. At IFA 2012 this week, <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/30/3279058/dell-xps-10-windows-rt-tablet">Dell</a>, <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/29/3277059/samsung-ativ-tab-specs-windows-rt-announcement">Samsung</a>, and <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/29/3276484/asus-vivo-tab-vivo-tab-rt-tablets-windows-8-windows-rt">Asus</a> all had their Windows RT-powered tablets on display. We've seen <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/5/3064818/toshiba-windows-8-devices-prototypes/in/2834848">some prototypes</a> running <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/5/3064839/qualcomm-winrt-snapdragon-s4-reference-tablet">older builds</a> of Windows RT, and even <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/4/3062235/asus-tablet-600-windows-rt-tablet-windows-8/in/2834848">production models</a> running the new operating system — but most vendors have been reluctant to let us get a good look at Microsoft's ARM OS.

Wow, this looks really awful.

Now where have I seen this sort of design before? I just can’t put my finger on it.

I don’t like iPhone cases. I currently only have a matte screen protector and clear film back protector on my iPhone. And that’s it. But this makes me want to change my mind.

There will be no banner ads on the Google homepage or web search results pages. There will not be crazy, flashy, graphical doodads flying and popping up all over the Google site. Ever.

Huh. Good to know.
So this isn’t a crazy, flash, graphical, doodad flying and popping up all over the Google site eh?

Samsung, who is currently locking horns with Apple over various infringements with regard to cell phone and tablet patents, has just opened another retail store. This store is just a block away from Apple’s own store in Sydney, Australia and what’s more if you walked in without noticing the missing Apple logo outside, you may think you had walked into an Apple Store.
</blockquote>
I mean this is really just ridiculous. Just go look at the pictures and tell me they aren’t completely copying the look and feel of the Apple store. These people have no shame.

…they even dress the sales staff in the traditional blue polo shirts worn by Apple Genius staff.

Hilarious! Just Hilarious!

Samsung's 'Original' Store. No Copycatting Involved…


This video makes me cringe on multiple levels. For one, can the typing be any slower. Secondly, it looks like a really good way to crack the screen. Maybe that’s why the typing is so slow now that I think about it.
I’ll stick to my Apple keyboard.

Speaking of double spacing after sentences, take a look at AT&#x26;T’s entry. No seriously, click through and tell me that does not look terrible! Not only are they being stupid and anti-consumer, but they have double spaced at the end of every sentence. By comparison to the move being spelled out in linked entry, this is really low on the list of crimes. Still, it’s telling. Particularly telling is you have to purposely make this happen in HTML. Normally HTML will ignore more than one space between characters. You have to purposefully insert space entities in the HTML to make this happen.
Terrible. Just terrible.
