CARS: “Just days after Apple’s announcement that it had sold 100 million iPods, Microsoft’s Zune celebrated a milestone of its own. According to a press release issued by the company today, its 100th Zune was sold to 13-year-old Dieter Ebersbacher in Shreveport, Illinois, and is a sign of its success in the marketplace.
‘The sale of the 100th Zune is a sign that it has captured a secure foothold in the market and it totally doesn’t suck,’ said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Here’s an interesting Windows bug.
1. In a new window type “bush hid the facts” (all lower case, no quotes)
2. Save the document.
3. Reopen it.
Where did the text go? Windows mistakenly identifies the file as Unicode rather than ASCII if you create a document with certain text. Almost any 4 letter word followed by two 3-letter words followed by a 5-letter word will have that effect. (via Newsvine; more details here)
A major research institution has just announced the
discovery of the densest element yet known to
science.
The new element has been named “Bushcronium.”
Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons,
75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons,
giving it an atomic mass of 311.
These particles are held together by dark forces
called morons, which are surrounded by vast
quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
The symbol for Bushcronium is “W”.
Bushcronium’s mass actually increases over time, as
morons randomly interact with various elements in the
atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons
in a Bushcronium molecule, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some
scientists to believe that Bushcronium is formed
whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as “Critical
Morass”.
When catalyzed with money, Bushcronium
activates Foxnewsium, an element that radiates
orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent
noise, since it has 1/2 as many peons but twice as many
morons. (via Newsvine)

Here’s a very funny article about Windows Vista features that didn’t make it into the RC.
Some of the features:
This is a great mash-up of a Windows Vista presentation audio with a Mac OS X demonstration.

Oval Office
You are standing inside a White House, having just been elected to the presidency of the United States. You knew Scalia would pull through for you.
There is a large desk here, along with a few chairs and couches. The presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a full-length mirror upon the wall.
What do you want to do now?
> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.
> LOOK MIRROR
Self-reflection is not your strong suit.
> PET SEAL
It’s not that kind of seal.
> EXAMINE CHAIRS
They are two several chairs arranged around the center of the room, along with two couches. Under one couch you find Clinton’s shoes.
> FILL SHOES
You are unable to fill Clinton’s shoes.
Rovenge (rO-’venj), n: Politically motivated retribution. The White House sought rovenge against Joseph Wilson.
