Thanks God it’s Friday (), time for some good relaxing music  . For instance, like Sepultura - Refuse(Resist) with slightly altered lyrics by these kids:

The kids (called “Gauchos”) also do other rock covers, check out here.

PS I want a Pikachu t-shirt too!

Signal vs Noise has Fireside Chat with Seth Godin and Mark Hurst. But the best quote is from Jason Fried (37signals), moderator of the chat:

I continue to believe the reason more bars aren’t raised is because people don’t think it’s sexy to execute on the basics beautifully.

Exactly!

So, Windows Vista has been released yesterday. They even have a limited “Bill Gates Signature” edition (+$10). Quote from Amazon:

Get this limited-availability Signature Edition signed by the world’s richest man and own a little piece of history.

Anybody knows who is the world’s poorest man? I’d like to get his signature and put it on BlogJet. I may even lower the price for this limited edition .

Anyway, just a reminder that BlogJet 2.0 works great under Vista.

You think it’s crazy to hire Toaster to be our chief marketer?

Come on, take a look at the toaster hired to be a Playstation 2!

A quote from a troubleshooting guide for a notebook from one world-famous Korean computer company:

9. I cannot hear sound through the headphones. – Check if the sound is muted in Windows. – Turn the volume up. – Replace the main board.

Let’s play the game called “How many toolbar button types and sizes are in 2007 Office?” See screenshots.

Since there are many third-party programs that copy Office’s look & feel, I wonder, how many different GUI styles we’ll have for different programs when Windows Vista arrives? Let’s count:

1. Old-style Win95-like GUIs
2. Win95-like WinXP-themed GUIs (e.g. WordPad)
3. WinXP Internet Explorer-like GUIs (e.g. BlogJet 1.x)
4. Office 97-XP-like flat-toolbar GUIs
5. Office 2003-like GUIs
6. Totally skinned GUIs (e.g. Winamp) … n-1. 2007 Office-like GUIs n. Vista-like GUIs (is it consistent, after all? Will WordPad have the same toolbar as Windows Explorer?)

What do you think?
