Microsoft store dance

Now, I work at Google, and we're not supposed to beat on Microsoft, so I'm not going to say a thing, and just embed this video, state a few facts, and let you make your own decision





All I will say is try to count how many of the customers in the place are paying any attention. And, if you make it to the end, look to see exactly who is clapping - that's right, it's the people who were dancing, and, erm, no-one else.


Also, it's the music from the JK dance song made famous here: 





They can't even do something with their own theme tune? Oh well.

Fans

So, uhm.

I bought a SilverStone FM122. They're pretty expensive. And pretty loud also.

It came with a thing to attach it to rheostat, and a rheostat.

So, I attached them.

That's when I found out the fan was noisy.

I was fitting some new Neon to the case over the weekend, when what did I spy, but a switch with the same connector on it, for the neon. Excellent, thought I, a way to switch the fan on and off.

Clearly, Karma was biting me for dropping out of electronics at school.

I ran 12v up the control line, and blew the fan immediately.

Loads of smoke poured out.

I was just glad it wasn't the CPU.

French Military Defeats?

Not sure if you remember the old joke, where you typed 'french military victories' into Google, and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button.
It returns this as the result

Which doesn't work since we rebuilt the results page, but, well, you get the idea.

Anyway, I saw this video, and it made me think of it.

Cover music

A bit of pop music, anyone?
