Corporate Anthems Go Corporate
Peter Judge writes: "Corporate Anthems are once again online at ZDNet UK.
Last year, the Corporate Anthems page exposed a big bunch of amusing songs composed for corporate promotion. However, the music files had to go offline due to bandwidth limits.
Now, ZDnet UK has stepped in, to host the anthems in all their glory. We hope to flush out and publicise new ones, and will be updating the chart in the coming weeks, according to the 'popularity' of different tracks. We have included more lyrics -- transcribed with some effort (and several lines which surely can't be for real)."
About guttentag's suggestion of karma caps and beanies, it's a good idea IMO.
Microsoft technology is not that bad. I was (at the time shown on the topbar of this comment) running Win95 (yes it is true), IE 5.5, AIM and MSN Messenger, so the MSN crashed, later my AIM crashed, later my IE crashed but this time Windows HASN'T locked. Thanks to some patches I got on WindowsUpdate, Win95 is now stable as Win98SE.
Why I was under Win instead of Linux? Because of MSN Messenger and AIM.
My problem with the commercial is the way Microsoft implies that their ISP is "more useful" than other ISPs because of some magical stuff referred to only as "Microsoft technology." It plays to the common fear of technophobes that technology from one company won't work with technology from another. The fact is that there isn't anything you can get by buying the MSN service that you can't get elsewhere.
I think it's practically false advertising, but it's just this side of getting slammed by regulatory agencies because it's so vague.
