The best Zune v1 ad that never aired

Like most of the other advertisements for the Zune I don’t quite follow what the message is, but unlike the others, this is hilarious. This video was produced by JDK Design as part of their branding strategy work on the Zune in 2006. Unfortunately this ad was never aired, but after watching it you will probably understand why.

Windows Vista vs. Mac OS X vs. Linux - for the Last Time in 2007

At the end of 2007 one thing is clear… Windows Vista is far from the Wow revelation that Microsoft aimed for with the late January worldwide consumer launch.

With Windows XP having dug in its roots from 2001 until early 2007, and owning the lion’s share of the operating system market (more than 85%), Vista enjoyed, as well as the alternative operating systems such as Mac OS X and Linux, little elbow room.

Top 10 Open Source Desktop Applications of 2007

Many applications come and go everyday from our computers and, in the end, only the best remains. Therefore, we thought it was a good idea to pick ten of the best open source applications of the year that passed. The following classification is not a “who’s the best or worst app” kind of list, it was made based on the most used and useful applications that helped us (the users) during the entire year. Without any further introduction, here are the finalists: (more…)
