This week was a very slow week for news, but we still found ten stories for us to make witty remarks at. Hit the jump for them.

Just End this week already!

How should we take down the king of computers?  The possibility of Microsoft’s demise has given hope to the Mac and Linux cultures for many years; however, this is not an easy task, but it can be done.  Let’s find out how.

The latest push of Microsoft’s “I’m a PC” campaign has come, in the form of t-shirts that you probably pay for with your money.  Seriously. No, seriously. I can’t find a “buy” link, but rest assured I’ll update this post with it when I find one.

Honestly, I’ve found the whole ad blitz to be a horrible waste of effort on Microsoft’s part. Indeed, the old abbreviation “M$” had might as well stand for “Mad $tacks;” even in the midst of a recession they’re making money hand over fist (to the tune of $15.1 billion this latest fiscal quarter).  Despite losing some ground in the laptop field, Windows remains the dominant desktop OS, holds a healthy chunk of the server OS market, hell, even the Xbox 360 division is finally turning a profit. I suspect, regardless of the “I’m a PC” ads, they don’t need youthful hipsters. At least, not as much as they seem to think they do.

Marketing blowholery aside, am I alone in thinking the DOS shirt design looks pretty swank? I do love me some DOS.
