At a technology conference in Seattle, Ballmer asked the audience how many people use Yahoo as their primary search engine. After only a handful of people raised their hands, Steve Ballmer stated "Wow! We offered 31 bucks a share."
The above advertisement for the Citroën C4 was withdrawn in Spain after complaints from some Chinese that it was insulting to the entire nation. Somehow, I think that’s an exaggeration. Sure, some folks in the Politburo might be annoyed. But there will be a lot of Chinese who think that Mao Tse-tung is fair game when it comes to advertising humour. Americans are quite happy to dress up an actor as Lincoln and make a few jokes, and Elizabeth I appeared in Blackadder. At least neither Abe Lincoln nor QEI was responsible for the deaths of 70 million of their own subjects, managing to butcher more than their enemies were able to. While it’s true I might get annoyed at the same treatment being given to Confucius, surely a more uni
Of all the web shows that I've come across, one category that seems underrepresented is comedy. That is no longer the case with the discovery of Goodnight Burbank, a well done laugher that takes aim at the ripe target of local TV news broadcasts, and for the most part, hits its targets.The idea is very simple. What goes on in a TV studio when the talent tosses to video? Or a live shot? Currently working in television news, I can fully attest that anchors say the darndest things. Goodnight Burbank capitalizes on this "down time", showing what can happen off camera. It goes a bit outlandish sometimes, but can also catch you off guard for a great belly laugh. And that's what matters.Written by Hayden Black (who also co-stars), it's obvious this guy has some experience in television. His bio on the site discloses his experience in television marketing, but the show reveals his time spent (at least observing) in the studio. He cleverly hones in on mispronounced words, bickering talent, a
Crying about Google ignoring your keyword stuffed web pages just gives Matt Cutts and the rest of the SEO world something to gleefully mock.
Note: Naughty tricks aimed at gaming the search engines usually backfire as search companies catch on and make adjustments. There’s always someone willing to try something like keyword stuffing. Has that person ever been you (before you knew better, of course)?
It’s a conspiracy, man. The Google hierarchy doesn’t want you to know how to become immortal. It’s totally true, you can read it on the Internet, you just can’t find it through Google, see?
Yeah, we see what you did there, or at least Matt did. Some people will still try old tricks to get noticed by the search engine. Matt highlighted one website whose owner offers the key to immortality (magnetic rings) and one of the more entertaining keyword stuffing examples you’ll see today.

Indonesian police sleeping on the job? Maybe, just don't tell the whole country about it.Police are threatening to sue cigarette manufacturer PT Djarum for a nationwide advertising campaign, appearing on billboards, TV and in magazines, that pokes fun at officers dozing on the job."The force is a state institution that deserves respect," said police spokesman Maj. Gen. Sisno Adiwinoto.The ad is a visual and linguistic pun on the phrase "sleeping policemen," which in Indonesia is a term used for speed bumps. It features a road sign warning motorists of bumps, amended to read "Be careful, the police are snoozing."The Indonesian police force is regarded by critics as one of the country's most corrupt and lazy institutions, but is sensitive toward criticism. The language lead singer of a punk band is currently on trial for comparing officers to dogs in a song.
