    Microsoft releases MS Mac User Converter®
    Monday October 9, 2:04 pm ET

    REDMOND, WA, Oct. 9 /PropagandaNewswire/ -- Microsoft has revelead their latest innovation,
    MS Mac User Converter®. MS Mac User Converter® is a product that converts a Macintosh® user
    to MS Windows XP® user. "Our internal tests has been more successful than we had expected," said
    Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft®. "If we can successfully convert all Macintosh® users to MS
    Windows XP®, we're going to dominate 96% of the desktop market." Ballmer said. "Next step is to
    convert all the Linux® users, but we still have some problems that needs to be solved. Linux® users
    tend to be tougher to convert." Ballmer said.

    Microsoft® can now add MS Mac User Converter® to their already successful list of innovations,
    such as:
    • MS Windows®
    • MS Excel®
    • MS Word®
    • MS Powerpoint®
    • MS DOS®
    Microsoft® clearly shows the world that they're ahead of their competitors. "None of the competitors
    have been able to launch a product like MS Mac User Converter®. This strengthens Microsoft®'s
    position on the market" said Blackie Lawless, industry analyst for Gartner Dataquest's Software
    Industry Research group®.
  3. HP + Microsoft = Bad DRM soup on PC that acts like a TV · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's ethics or actually lack of ethics does make you wonder what this machine actually
    does... I don't want this type of entertainment center if they can look at how I use it, what I'm
    listening to, what I'm watching etc... And I want to be able to do whatever I want to do with my
    equipment, and I'm sure Bill has made sure to make that harder. The more MS gets their DRM
    into the core of the hardware, the harder it will become to use it. So, the solution is... don't buy
    anything with DRM built into it. :)

  5. Simple one on Surprising Science Demonstrations? · · Score: 1

    Use liquids with different density that doesn't
    mix, like vegetable oil and water. Use food
    coloring for better effect. When the kids have
    seen that the oil floats on top of the water, pour
    some salt into the glass... it will bring parts of
    the oil to the bottom.

  6. Easy to solve on The Case of the Missing Rocket Belt · · Score: 2, Funny

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist in figuring out who's the murderer and who stole the rocket belt...
    it was Duke Nukem!!! He has had this fascination with rocket belts ever since Duke Nukem 3D.
    Whacking one guy and turn the two others against each other was all part of Duke's masterplan of
    getting his hands on a real rocket belt.

  8. Paranoia on Reuters: 80% of Chinese Computers Virus Infected · · Score: 1

    The Chinese people I know (both inside and outside of mainland China) don't care too much of what the government tells them. They know that a lot of what's said from government organizations etc are truths with modifications. You have to read between the lines to get the truth. My best guess is that a lot of Chinese people don't bother about the virus warnings because they don't trust their government. On the other hand, the Chinese government has brought up the Chinese into not believing what the US government says either... Just remember FBI's international Code Red warning.

    Maybe the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center's report is part of a wider campaign into getting people ready for the upcoming Chinese Windows clone. (a guess would be that it has a lot of government sponsored spyware...) Making people aware of Microsoft's crappy software and then giving them a "fresh" alternative.
