Windows 7, Microsoft next computer operating system, is due out Oct. 22. One of the marketing campaigns surrounding this significant software launch is what Microsoft hopes will be a viral video called “Windows 7: Hosting Your Own Launch Party.” It’s so cheesy, but can’t help watching it. Does it work for you? Or is Microsoft trying too hard? Check it out and tell us what you think. Heck, it’s certainly better than that Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld disaster.

Thanks to reader Bob Ortiz for this humourous email forward. It’s a transcript of a handful of real technical support calls. So if you’re ever feeling like you’re not the most technically savvy person on the planet, you’ll see there are those far worse off than you. Enjoy!

My mom Honey (yes, that’s her name), sent me one of those cute email forwards about how times have changed from the old days. Thought it was cute, so here it is. Check out the pic and the other differences in meaning between today’s terminology and not so long ago…

Toronto-based publicist-turned-author Sheryl Steinberg has just written her first book, a side-splitting look a tech couture, relationships and a women’s role in a wireless world.

Sick of all the Twitter hype? Join the club. Check out this humourous video, Twitter Dat, which reinforces how useless it is to “tweet” everything you’re doing. Do people really care what you’re having for breakfast or how regular your bowel movements are? Enjoy.

We were sent this cute photo entitled “Grandpa’s GPS unit.” LOL. Now I didn’t want to be accused of ageism (after all, my 69 year-old mom, my kid’s grandmother, has been known to play Nintendo Wii on occasion!), so I was going to change the headline to “Hillbilly’s GPS system.” Problem is, this car isn’t a pick-up truck! Enjoy, none-the-less!
