Microsoft Keynote Bloopers

It was only fair that I dig up some MS Bloopers after posting a reel of Apple bloopers yesterday. Unfortunately, there weren’t that many of them. Found the one below on YouTube, and another of Bill Gates banging his head on a camera, but that’s not really funny, it’s just an accident. You don’t laugh when someone hurts themselves, you laugh when the technology they tout as fantastic doesn’t deliver. So here’s a clip of an MS guy touting Vista’s speech recognition, only to have it fail miserably on the demo. It doesn’t help that he’s arrogant and hard to like, either. Schadenfreude, revisited:

Apple Keynote Bloopers

Get your Apple schadenfreude here… A blooper reel assembled by MacTV and posted to Google Video. These are the perils that await you when you hold a tech show and the technology refuses to cooperate. Being live makes it a whole lot worse. Anyone know of a Microsoft blooper reel?

Another EepyBird Diet Coke + Mentos Video (Experiment #214)

This one’s called “The Domino Effect“, because it uses inter-connected Coke bottles that start each other, in series:

And, for good measure, here’s their original video, which I’m sure you’ve already seen:

Their videos are by far the best Diet Coke + Mentos experiments. Not only are their videos coreographed and set to music, but the two dudes do a decent job acting in them as well. For more of their videos, visit their site, EepyBird.

If you haven’t heard about Skidboot, the amazing dog from Texas, you’ll definitely know him now, and love him, too:

A tired kitty, and 155 t-shirts?

What does this all mean? Two great videos from YouTube, of course. Enjoy!
