nuzzaci - an online journal

It’s not very often I come across things that absorb me like this TED talk by Blaise Aguera y Arcas on Microsoft Photosynth. It’s truly something.

Link to video

There is nothing wrong with the actual idea or the execution of the movie over at bringtheloveback.com. It’s well written, funny and well done.

No, the problem is not the message. Nor the delivery. It’s the sender that makes this piece lose all it’s strength.

Microsoft… bringing the love back… with Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions…

It’s going to be really interesting to see how Microsoft is going to bring the love back… with Microsoft Digital Advertising Solutions… (seems like the first step is to buy parts of already existing love).

Microsoft. They have embraced the love so well with their Windows, Office…

How would a video illustrating how Microsoft has spread the love to all their customers throughout the years look like?

In sweden we have a saying.
Don’t piss against the wind.

A few guys in the office have received the Wii they pre-ordered from Amazon (and since it’s lunch time now, it’s being set up as we speak).

I don’t know that much about the Wii - i’m not a computer game kind of guy, but I do admire Nintendo for taking their own path in the game consoles war with Sony and Microsoft. Both the Wii and the DS (Nintendos handheld game console) are innovative in more and other ways than frame rate, processor power and hard drive space.

As always when a new products are released - there are the problems being reported.
But the problems shown and expressed on the wiihaveaproblem.com site, to me, should be seen as positive feedback to Nintendo. That they have created a console that will engage users to level beyond smashed keyboards and hand controls.

You ask why? Because you can’t throw money at every problem to solve it, Bill. You can’t just keep adding engineers and money to a giant, ugly mess and hope that, eventually, it’ll become a polished, tight piece of art. No art was ever created by committee. Nothing great was ever designed by 4,000 engineers. Ever.

#Note to Bill Gates: I’ll take your bet, for $10,000.
