I absolutely hate the Mac vs. PC ad campaign. Partly because there's way too much Justin Long, but mostly because they're slander and lies. That being said That Mitchell and Webb Look's take on them is bloody hilarious.

So I'm browsing around Digg this morning and i find a curious post, "Prom... ya Digg?". Turns out this kid is really likes a girl who's just found Digg and is trying to ask her to the prom. So he diggs a picture of himself with a sign asking her to the prom. A sweet gesture and one i commend him for, but there's just one problem, he needs Diggs or she'll never see it.
By great stroke of idiocracy the poor guy goes and posts the picture on tinypic thus sealing his inevitable fate. You see the web works like this:
- Guy posts picture on tinypic and diggs it, begging people to help him out.
- Diggers, being great community minded folks, help a brother out.
- Story gets Dugg and makes the homepage.
- The Digg Effect happens and tinypic removes the picture for consuming too much bandwidth
Unless she caught it at the moment of equilibrium, this poor guy is SOL.

Bug Comments Opened by Linus Torvalds on 2008-03-31 15:37 EST [reply] Description of problem:youtube no workee - fedora 9 not usable for wife
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
swfdec.x86_64 0.6.2-1.fc9
swfdec-gtk.x86_64 0.6.2-1.fc9
swfdec-mozilla.x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc9
How reproducible:I didn't try a lot of videos, but I couldn't find a single one that actually
worked. And what's the internet without the rick-roll?Some just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but show
only a black screen even when the red ball at the bottom moves along..Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install current Fedora 9
2. Rick-roll!
3. No profit!
Actual results:Some videos just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc,
but in the latter case show only a black screen even when the red ball at the
bottom seems to moves along..Expected results:
Rick Astley in all his glory! People have reported that youtube videos are
supposed to work with swfdec, so I presume they have worked at some point and
have been broken recently.Just to test that this isn't just a anti-rick-roll security feature, I also
tested some other videos, but let's face it - we do need Rick for the "Full
Internet Experience".Additional info:
This is "high" priority because the wife will kill me if she doesn't have her
videos. And the adobe player won't install on current rawhide due to some
library issues."Obi-wan Kenobi, you're our only hope"
