This is a pretty tasteless marketing gimmick by Microsoft Japan to amp up Vista SP1 which is being rolled out around the world. Someone needs to body check the PR Dept at Microsoft Japan for coming out with toilet paper outlining Vista's SP1 features.
Personally, I downgraded from Vista to XP and I was running it on boot camp! Vista often sent my MacBook screeching to a halt. I'm guessing OS X Leopard enthusiasts are going to be the ones buying the most "Vista Toiletpapers" so they can laugh at Microsoft while "rubbing" it in at the same time.

Hey Folks! Here's a little something for you today. Buy.com is selling a 4Gb Cruzer Micro for $19.95. Finally! It took a while. I was waiting for the price to drop on this for a while late last year and I couldn't wait any longer so I ended buying a Kingston 4Gb instead.
What can I say about this flash disk? It's pretty sturdy but it does have some annoying features. Firstly, it has a built in control system, "U3 System", which loads up this GUI making your flash disk like a mini computer. It's completely annoying and makes loading up the flash disk a tad slower. However, that annoying little thing can be uninstalled by downloading the 'U3 Uninstaller' from the SanDisk website.
We use these flash disks in the office and the most annoying thing about it is the retractable USB port. When you want it to retract, it doesn't and vice versa. It's really annoying to try and plug it in and find the USB retract. ARGH!
Anyways, for under $20, you can't really go wrong here. Enjoy!

That just peed me off. I mean, how can they just do that? You're paying for it, aren't you? Then shouldn't you be able to do whatever the hell you want with it? I'm planning on buying an iPhone (and unlock it of course!) but if I'm going to be subjected to this, then maybe I might just buy it on Ebay for convenience sake.
I also read somewhere that unlocked iPhones cost Apple $300 million in losses. Well, that's the price you pay for using a closed network and a sleuth of angry unlock-happy programmers on your ass. You can't just do that anymore. You make the product, and we do whatever we want with it in order for it to suit our needs. Here's a solution. I bet if Apple made the an AT&T version as well as an unlocked version of the iPhone, then they wouldn't be hemorrhaging losses in excess of millions. After speaking to a few unlocked iPhone owners myself, they all agreed that they would pay a little more for an unlocked version of the iPhone sans getting the AT&T version and unlocking it themselves.
Oh well, I'm just glad the SDK came out so third party applications will now be made available on the iPhone. I'm probably going to wait a while before purchasing one. Who knows, it could be legally unlocked a year from now.
Oh, the Apple store has refurbished iPhones (8 Gb) for $349. Not a sweet deal, but if you plan on unlocking it, then it is :)
What? Microsoft has cut prices on XBOX360s in Europe.
360 Arcade €199.99 / £159.99
360 Premium €269.99 / £199.99
360 Elite €369.99 / £259.99
That is so frigging unfair! Instead, US buyers can look forward to price cuts on Windows Vista. Wow. I'm running to the store right now. NOT! I guess if enough people bitch about why the Europeans are getting price cuts and not the US then Microsoft might pay a little more attention. We did kill HD-DVD didn't we? Labels: XBOX360
