I saw this on Techcrunch and I loved it… its a great parody. I still think the surface will be really cool though and I am looking forward to it.

“Take that, Apple!”

Internet Tv June 21, 2007 at 6:12 pm: i second that

Jeff June 21, 2007 at 5:29 pm

Haha, I always love parodies, they are just so funny, and this one has some great points. I wounder how the surface will even do. Personally I hope it does well since I’m a Microsoft person.

free website traffic June 22, 2007 at 8:39 am: I love Microsoft, too, but until I can actually afford that table, I might have to stick to the gadgets I have in my pocket right now.

That’s hilarious! “And if your mom decides to spend $10,000 on a table too, you can send her a postcard… for free.”

Internet Tv June 21, 2007 at 6:14 pm: thats gonna be a great deal to since the cost of postage costs so much.
free website traffic June 22, 2007 at 8:40 am: Haha that cracked me up — like MY mom would read a postcard from me. LOL

shaun June 21, 2007 at 7:02 pm

Lol thats prety funny. I already saw that video somehwere else. I don’t really know if I like the surface.

Hahaha.
“Take that Apple.”

It’s weird..
I just posted about this and when I came here
i see you did too. It happened last time and happened again.

Hm~ what do you think?

John Chow June 21, 2007 at 11:12 pm: We think a like?

webd360 June 25, 2007 at 5:12 pm: Well this particular video is spreading really fast (is on the top most popular videos on technorati at the moment). The creators did a great job creating good linkbait (the site mentioned at the end is a fairly new blog and I am sure they are enjoying all the traffic)

I think I liked the Microsoft demo video better.

Andy Coates June 22, 2007 at 1:27 am

This would be so cool to play the “old school” table top space invaders, i remember being about 5 and playing this “coffee table” version of space invaders. I cant wait for the innovative uses people come up with for surface.

Yeah i liked the Microsoft demo better too.

Abdalla June 22, 2007 at 2:37 am: No, this video definately owns the M$ one.

Krillz June 22, 2007 at 3:10 am

still it would be unpractical, it’s huge as a table, maybe something you could have in the office to impress your business partners…`?

anyway funny spoof

Rob Schultz June 22, 2007 at 9:46 am

This had me rolling. As a former Windows Server Administrator and recent MacFanBoy I found it hilarious. While I admit that I love the idea and would frequent the restaurants and bars with this technology, this sense of humor is right up my alley.

free website traffic June 22, 2007 at 2:16 pm

I just watched it again — really funny stuff, I gotta say.

Larry June 23, 2007 at 2:10 am

Haha. But I still like that Surface technology, it look good. But, as the video said it is probably not very suitable for common use.

Good find John. That’s a really great parody! There seems to be a lot of good ones floating around the web recently. The Mac vs. PC rap video parody gets me rolling as well. “I’m a right clicka. I’m an iBook flippa.” Good fun.

This is a marvelously done commercial. The parody makes it even stronger I think. I gotta admit the fact that the table is definitely big ass kind of size.

Russell Wagner June 27, 2007 at 10:53 pm

haha wow this made me laugh, i watched it like 3times in a row haha.

John Cow July 4, 2007 at 10:27 am

Imagine spilling a drink on that!

I could just see this one in the clubs…yeah, we have the new Microsoft Surface experience! Only in the VIP section. You want an interactive object that’s fun? Bring back KITT from Knight Rider!!
