I got it now!

Microsoft really made a statement in a comparison between Xbox 360 and PS3. With the 148 pounds difference, you can buy all this beer. Not enough? Try not to buy any of them.

Funny email

If ancient Rome had the Internet...
Taken from Email Marketing Reports

• The destruction of Pompeii in 79AD is the most viewed video at YouTube. The first comment is..."OMG so cool! Volcanos ROCK!"
• Attila the Hun has his own MySpace page. Nobody ever rejects his "invite a friend" emails.
• The soothsayer's "Ides of March" email fails to get Caesar's proper attention as it's inadvertently filtered into his junk folder.
• But at least Caesar's "Et tu Brute?" comment is available as a free ringtone download.
• The domain gladiator.rome sells for the record sum of 1,000,000 denarii.
• The owner of hadriansucks.rome is compelled to hand over both the domain name and selected body parts by an independent domain tribunal chaired by...Emperor Hadrian.
• "Naked Cleopatra" is the top search term on Google.
• Unfortunately, the Queen of Egypt dies an early death after misunderstanding IT's call to embrace an ASP solution.
• Hannibal blogs his way across the Alps with posts like, "Whoops, lost another elephant today."
• But he runs out of money when his PPC budget is plundered by an iberian click scam organized by Publius Cornelius Scipio.
• Tiber.com opens, initially selling scrolls and tablets before expanding to include togas, pottery, and do-it-yourself mosaic kits.
• Websites like handsome-literate-male-british-slave.com pollute the search listings thanks to generous commissions at the slaves.co.rome affiliate program.
• Roman programmers moan about projects outsourced to cheap coders in Mesopotamia.
• The Colosseum is renamed the eBay Colosseum, with free wireless hotspots outside the lark's tongue restaurant.
• The volume of spam collapses when the penalty for not providing a working opt-out mechanism becomes equal billing with the lions at the eBay Colosseum.
• But we still get emails featuring Brunhilda, the lonely Visigoth, and hot deals on cheap peacock livers from Gaul.
• Nobody invents a spam filter good enough for the House of the Vestals.
• Classical geeks wear t-shirts proclaiming, "there's no place like CXXVII.0.0.I" (bonus points if you get that one)
• Finally, Rome burns to the ground while Emperor Nero battles online with Hakkar the Soulflayer in World of Warcraft.

Barns: the new internet banners

Barn Painting and Advertising Inc. is a company specialized in barn painting, barn roof protection and barn roof advertising (believe me, this is true). They think that the so called roof top advertising will become, as they say, an integral marketing tool.
The idea come up because of Google Earth. As people uses more and more this kind of tool to navigate throughout the world, and roof tops can be seen and read, they bet in selling the space to companies to advertise their products. It's amazing.

Apple mocks Microsoft

In its new ad, the Apple Company mocks the new Windows Vista campaign "Wow", saying the "wow" really started 5 years ago. Makes me remember an old Apple t-shirt that said something about the new Microsoft OS (I can't remember if it was windows 95, 98 or 2000), but there were the phrase "Windows 98. Welcome to Mac 89".
