By Zach Spear Published: 07:00 PM EST In Las Vegas to lead his first CES keynote yesterday, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer announced a free Windows 7 public beta, available for download tomorrow, and a new piece of song composition software akin to Apple's GarageBand.

"I believe Windows will remain at the center of people's technology solar system." Included in the keynote were several new feature announcements , ...

OT: MS Songsmith ‘Ad’ Is Horrendous
iPhone News Feeds —
Copyright © 2009 PatrickJ. Visit the original article at http://justanotheriphoneblog.com/wordpress/2009/01/12/ot-ms-songsmith-ad-is-horrendous/. Saw this via a tweet from Brandon (and originally from David Chartier) - it’s a new ‘ad’ or preview or some sort of promotional video for Microsoft’s new Songsmith program.
It is just terrible, worse than terrible, painful, comical if it wasn’t so painful. So … I thought I’d share the pain
Go HERE to experience the full horror of the ad - and in the meantime check out the trendy slogan ...
Move over GarageBand… Microsoft’s Songsmith is here!

I crap you not, this thing appears to be a real product… (warning, this video appears to be “songtastic”).
“Microsoft, huh? So it’s pretty easy to use?” (1:55)

Microsoft intentionally uses Mac in Songsmith promo video in attempt to create viral coverage
MacDailyNews —
Microsoft intentionally uses Mac in Songsmith promo video in attempt to create viral coverage Friday, January 16, 2009 - 09:54 AM EST "Earlier this month, Microsoft Research released Songsmith, a song-making app that works only on Windows. To promote the app it released what might very well be the worst promo video ever, featuring a girl singing in front of her laptop about how great Songsmith is," Erick Schonfeld reports for TechCrunch. Schonfeld reports, "Besides just being painful to watch (see for yourself below), the laptop she is using to show her Dad how to use Songsmith is a Mac!"

Monday Apple Links: Post-Saskatchewan Screamer Edition
Infinite Loop —
You have undoubtedly heard sample tracks or even seen the video Microsoft is using to promote its new Songsmith app , but in the irony of all ironies, the demo reel shows actors chillin' at a coffee shop, makin' hit songs with SongSmith... running on a Mac ! Those flower stickers aren't fooling anyone, but hooray for Boot Camp! Lots of people use iChat to keep in touch, but few have the pleasure of seeing Jim Carrey doing a private dance via the magic of iSight. Unless of course you are Jenny McCarthy. The couple apparently use iChat to keep in touch when Carrey is on set. The former Playboy playmate admitted to OK ...
Microsoft Songsmith. Is this real?

The Macalope Weekly: Baseball analogies gone wild
Macworld —
Posted on by Dan Moren Spring training has started and this week the Macalope checks his batting average only to find out it’s not half bad! At least provided the sample size is small and sufficiently self-selected. Hey, if major leaguers can tout their ability to get hit by a pitch with runners on first and third against left-handed Australians during night games, then so can the Macalope. Swing and a miss! Perhaps the Macalope’s refined and sophisticated readers can help him out with a quandary. He knows that white wine goes with crow, but what kind of white wine? A woody Chardonnay or a drier Sauvignon Blanc? Crow seems like it’s ...
Microsoft's Project Natal impresses
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
It's no secret that Apple is morphing AppleTV into something bigger...with games. If and when Apple enters home gaming market, that product's competition will come from Microsoft's XBox. Microsoft wowed the audience at today's E3 with their idea of the XBox of the future. Keep in mind, this is only a concept at this point, much like Microsoft's Surface was two years ago (and where are we now?).
Natal is particularly impressive given Microsoft's recent past in home entertainment. ...
