LG and Sprint launching something at CES – but what?
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No CommentsCall us crazy, but we don’t think you’d host a “Mobile Launch Party” at CES unless you were planning.. you know, a mobile launch of some sort – and when it comes to mobile launches, companies generally don’t co-host parties unless they’re launching a phone together. So when we get a heads up letting us know [...] -
Another Windows 7 launch party in Japan, another touchscreen failure
Posted on October 26, 2009 | No Comments
Judging from this video, the Windows 7 launch in Japan was certainly more, shall we say, flamboyant then the launch here in the US. But the really amusing part is the fact that the host couldn't get the touchscreen to work.

How To Throw A Windows 7 Torrenting Party Without Getting Arrested
Posted on October 22, 2009 | No Comments
Today is Windows 7 launch day, and everyone is having a party. In fact, Microsoft's helpful Windows 7 launch party prepping video is already an instant Internet classic.
But there's more than one way to have a Windows 7 launch party. The Funny or Die spoof video above shows you how to have a Windows 7 torrenting party, and even gives tips for how not to get arrested. (Warning: there are a few f-bombs at the end). Windows 7 can be so much fun! But what's with the British accents?

Are you attending a Windows 7 Launch Party?
Posted on October 22, 2009 | No CommentsThe night is almost here. I hope my Windows 7 Launch Party guests aren't expecting much. I mean, they're welcome to go hang out on my Windows 7 computer and putz around on it. I don't care, but I'm going to be drinking some refreshing High Life far away from that wretched device. I only have a few people coming to my launch party and they will all be leaving with a gift bag filled with Windows 7 crap courtesy of Microsoft and random advertisers. But how about you? Are you attending or hosting one of these infamous events tonight or in the coming days?

Windows 7 launches tomorrow. Are you going to bite?
Posted on October 21, 2009 | No Comments
Windows 7 has been a long time coming. In some ways it's what Windows Vista was suppose to be back in 2006. It's fast, super stable, but also clean and sleek. I love it and switch from OS X because of Windows 7. It has restored my faith in Microsoft and it feels good to be back on a Windows system after a five year hiatus. I don't think I'm alone either.
Reviews and previews of Windows 7 have been posted ever since the first public beta in January of 2009. Everyone seems to love it. I haven't seen or heard of any major bugs or flaws in the operating system. Microsoft nailed this one and should be proud.
Tomorrow, October 22, is the official launch date of Windows 7. Preorders are already shipping out from online retailers and I wouldn't be surprised if the retail boxes are already on the shelves in some brick and mortar stores. In fact, TG Daily is reporting that Windows 7 has dethroned Harry Potter as Amazon's most successful preorder item of all time. It's clear that people want Windows 7.

Posted on October 15, 2009 | No Comments
If you're a Windows 7 Launch Party host like me, you've probably gone through a wave of emotion. First you were probably stoked that you were chosen, you then probably had fun with everyone else over the awful launch party videos and hand-outs, and then last week, you probably got the sweet party kit that contains a special version of Windows 7 Ultimate. But are you now dreading the damn party next week? I am. So I wanna know, are you actually planning on having the party? If so, give me some and others some tips and/or words of encouragement in the comments below.
