Brief humor break

Submitted by bszlachta on Fri, 2008-06-20 04:25.

Funny tech news has been sparse. This one, though, just cracked me up:

All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us

"...the Jura F90 Coffee maker, with its honest-to-God Jura Internet Connection Kit, can be taken over by a remote attacker, who can cause the coffee to be weaker or stronger..."

The next Hollywood "Internets" flick: Not content with making our traffic signals go crazy and bringing down our computerized financial systems, evil foreign hackers are now toying with American hackers' caffeine supply...

Microsoft Acquires Navic Networks

What's funny about that? Nothing, really. I just liked the reporter's sentence below:

"The technical term for what Microsoft has achieved in search (at least in comparison to Google) is "squat." "

A MS exec only tried to inject a little more comedy, by stating:

"Together, Navic and Microsoft will deliver addressable television advertising solutions to help our partners better manage media spend by increasing advertiser reach and ROI, and maximizing publisher yield on television advertising."

Uh-oh! Someone's discovered mission statement generators! (I knew Live Search had to be good for something.)

Microsplot is built upon an older site poking fun at the Zune music player. But that wasn't too fun (see details). The whole world of tech is full of wonders, good and bad, and it's more enjoyable to take a crack at any worthy target.
