A Yolo Wizard posted:xbone actually did hella good this bf yeah, the fact that you could walk away with one for $329 was the main deal. the fact that it would come with 3-4 games and/or a gift card was pretty nice too, but really being $70+ paid cash cheaper was the most important thing because Black Friday shoppers are all about that sticker price; the PS4 could have come with every game released for console thus far and 5 years of ps+ for $399 and the bone at $329 would still outsell it

Millstone posted:I could have swore it was arranged like that somewhere. Oh well have this image anyway speaking of the social, my company decided to set up a sharepoint using sharepoint 2013. we dont have our own IT org but rather use the IT dept of a company we're slowly merging with. their director of IT is big on "THE SO CIAL" or w/e and he decided that every sharepoint site must be integrated with yammer. including the sites that handle collaboration for co-developing software solutions with a certain large company from germany. they are not amused by having memes show up on the sharepoint site yammer is poo poo the kicker is that im the sharepoint admin for our half of the company because im still in school and an intern and therefore the only person whose time is worthless enough to do it. cjing sharepoint is awful, death is certain, etc

narrator: "has this ever happened to you?" [black and white footage of a man using a macbook in a starbucks. he notices an attractive lady at the next table using a tablet. she smiles at him, but her expression drops when she sees the conncted keyboard. the man, in an attempt to look cool and with-it by having a tablet, hastily tears his macbook in two and paws at the screen.]

i prefer to think that they wrote the jingle and shot the ad completely independently of each other and that the jingle writers just assumed they'd be comparing to an ipad and the video director just assumed that it was a laptop
