Instead of talking directly about the product, they made a funny video with celebrities talking about the Internet history. As Faris says, “The cool thing about being this huge gray corporation is that every time you don’t act like it, it’s awesome.”

Cómo arreglar el freeze del Zune de 30GB
Microsoft recien publicó el fix en el sitio oficial de Zune… en resumen: esperar hasta mañana. Follow these steps: Disconnect your Zune from USB and AC power sources. Because the player is frozen, its battery will drain—this is good. Wait until the battery is empty and the screen goes black. If the battery was fully charged, this might take a couple of hours. Wait until after noon GMT on January 1, 2009 (that’s 7 a.m. Eastern or 4 a.m. Pacific time). Connect your Zune to either a USB port on the back or your computer or to AC power using the Zune AC Adapter and let it charge. Once the battery has sufficient power, the player should start normally. No other action is required—you can go back to using your Zune!

Simplify your work
Microsoft has launched a new website to promote Office 2008 for Mac. A really good approach with the simplification methaphora. The bad thing is when you want to “learn more” about the product, you are redirected to the traditional (and not-so-simplified) MS website. Simplify your Work Via Cpluv

Along the time we have been forced to adapt our habits to new technologies that promise to facilitate the way in which we work. Thus, we have adopted the mouse and the keyboard as the main tools to interact with computers. We have also adopted the windows concept and the fact that we can only make one task at a time (minimize a window, scroll or change the window’s size are tasks that can’t be performed simultaneously) as our paradigm for human-computer interaction.

Tangible Media: El futuro de la experiencia del usuario
A lo largo del tiempo hemos tenido que adaptar nuestros hábitos a nuevas tecnologías que prometen facilitar la manera en la que trabajamos. De esta manera hemos adoptado al mouse y el teclado como las herramientas básicas de interacción con una computadora.
