Microsoft, 300, and XBox Evil

According to Microsoft, Xbox LIVE will offer “300” on demand in HD starting Aug. 14.
From their camp...
Today at Comic-Con International 2007, Microsoft Corp. announced it will lower the price of the popular Xbox 360™ HD DVD Player from $199 to $179 ERP (United States only) starting Aug. 1, 2007, and will add five free HD DVD movies for anyone purchasing an Xbox 360 HD DVD Player between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30.
If you hadn't become part of the cult, now's a good time to get more of a handful of flowers, methinks. Too bad the early birds don't have enough sense to scream at their shackles for bein' taken.
Pussyfooters of the world, UNITE!

Lolcat lovers, rejoice! Captchas are out,
kittens are in. Similiar to what Bank of America currently uses in confirming a user's identity while signing on to their account, PCWorld reported info about Microsoft's involvement/interest/(ripping off someone else's idea) with Human Interactive Proofs (HIPs). Late news to me, but you might not have known it.
There was this Pirate...and he was Chineeeese!Finally giving in to their own reality of being ripped off over stupid pricing, Microsoft's dropped their price on Vista Home Basic by two thirds. $201 has now become $66 for American users?
Serves all those dweebs who made fun of me holding out. Now it's cheap enough for me to get a legal copy...not that I had any other.

The reason is blamed on the pirates in China, as all things this week in the world have been blamed on Chinese origin. My understanding is local news media reporters are waiting for Washington to blame the Minnesota bridge collapse on Chinese rice growers.
Got anything funny or idiotic about Microsoft yourself?
