Jeff Burkett points to a hilarious spoof of a Microsoft Zune Phone commercial in which “Steve Ballmer” does the informercial-style thing hawking all the supposedly wonderful things about the Zune including Windows Paint, MS-DOC Executive Appointment Calendar, a clock and a RAM driver…all for $9. What’s even funnier is a video of the real Steve Ballmer laughing at the $500 Apple iPhone and tossing it off as some sort of over-priced phone no one will buy. If memory serves, the iPod was pretty expensive when it first came out. I guess we’ll see who’s right over time.

There’s a specific kind of person who celebrates their dog’s birthday with real cake and real presents and real tears when the dog doesn’t understand any of it. That person isn’t performing love for the dog. They’re finally giving themselves permission to celebrate without anyone judging whether the occasion is important enough.
