Lol that 3-way pong would be awesome. Am I the only one that noticed the ball bounced back even though the paddle wasn't even close to hitting it? haha, It's always good to see humor from big companies like MS, it shows that everyone is still human no matter how large the corporation.
If the below is right, then it would explain why Flag564 has a Colbert image as his user icon<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/apple/The_Disturbing_truth_about_Flag564">http://digg.com/apple/The_Disturbing_truth_about_Flag564</a>#Quix by Quix on 12/18/06Here's a bizarre, yet intriguing theory: what if flag564 were actually a paid Apple astroturfer? Yes, sounds crazy, but hear me out here. His spittle-flying commentary on all-things-Apple is so irrational, so ridiculously moronic, it actually makes the logical reader gravitate to the Apple side of the argument. After all, who wants to have anything in common with such a loudmouthed buffoon who obviously has no idea what he's talking about?If it's clear that flag recommends the Zune, for example, it must be the uninformed way to go, right? It's like having crazy, one-toothed Uncle Leroy (who has a metal plate in his head from a kick from a mule) recommend what car you should buy. You immediately cross that car off your consideration list. Because that's the intelligent thing to do.He can't possibly be astroturfing for Microsoft. That would be insane. Nothing like having a complete jackass endorse your product to drive customers to the competitor. And he can't be doing this for personal reasons - his obsession is just wayyyy too extreme. Check his comment history - if the digg has Zune in the title, he's commented, even if he's the only one. And if a digg has Apple in the title, he's all over it, ranting and raving about fanboys and journalistic conspiracies. Every. Single. Time. It's like a full-time job. So much so that maybe it IS a full-time job! So I have to go with the paid-Apple-astroturfer theory.I gotta take off my hat on this one. Brilliant, Apple, brilliant! Astroturf Different.

Where the hell in this article does it say ANYTHING about apple? I swear the word was added in so it would make the digg front page.
