Microsoft Surface Parody

Bob Gourley May 7, 2012

Microsoft’s Surface was not the first Touch Table. But it rapidly became the most widely deployed and with an extensive network of partners it was quickly supported by many mission-focused applications. It is a serious platform that has many solutions and tools built upon it. I’ve also seen it used for entertainment and gaming. So this system will be around and as it scales prices will drop and overall this will be a virtuous addition to the technology ecosystem.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t poke fun at it! The Microsoft Surface makes for great parody! If you have time for a laugh check out the clip below. It uses video from an official Microsoft commercial and a voiceover by a SarcasticGamer.com

Think Twice Before Deciding To Use A Personal VPN: You could be getting some really bad advice

From the 1930s to 1950s (far too long) the medical community just would not wake up to the fact that cigarettes could cause harm (see More Doctors Smoke Camels). Why did they stick with this misperception for so long? When so many good people come to the wrong conclusion it probably means some deeply human […]

Super Bowl Ads Indicate Big Businesses Think You Are Afraid of AI

The creators/writers were all exposed to years of Twitter, which has influenced every episode and the entire arch of two seasons of the show. Now that season two is wrapping up, […]
