			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These clever Dosogus 2.0 pillows by designers at Art Lebedev Studio are embroidered with a directory listing from everyone&#8217;s favorite command line operating system &#8211; DOS.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-22618  aligncenter" title="art_lebedev_dos_pillow" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/art_lebedev_dos_pillow.jpg" alt="art lebedev dos pillow" width="600" height="512" /></p>
<p>All your old favorites are there, including AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. But if you look carefully, there are directories for WINDOWS and a HIBERFIL.SYS file, so this pillow must actually be running Windows XP or a newer version. And watch out for the PRON directory &#8211; you never know what&#8217;s hiding in there. The pillow also appears to have been infected with a trojan, so you might not want to actually sit your butt on this pillow.</p>
<p>The Dosogus 2.0 is actually an upgrade of Lebedev&#8217;s earlier <a href="http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/dosugus/">Dosogus pillow</a>, and I have to say the new model crashes a little less frequently than the original. Want one? Head on over to <a href="http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/dosugus2/">Lebedev&#8217;s online shop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking to boost their quest for cool &#8220;I&#8217;m a PC&#8221; marketing campaign, Microsoft has launched their own clothing line, which the Redmond giant calls &#8220;Softwear&#8221;. Yup. If Apple can blind you with their fancy glass screens, why can&#8217;t Microsoft sell you shirts? The nonsense in that analogy is my analogy to Microsoft&#8217;s nonsense.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7047 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/dosthismakemelookcool.jpg" alt="dosthismakemelookcool" width="520" height="372" title="dosthismakemelookcool photo" /></p>
<p>Most of the designs are from the same agency that Microsoft hired for their &#8220;I&#8217;m a PC&#8221; ads, but the company wanted more class and swagger so they also got rapper Common to share his designs. <a href="http://adage.com/agencynews/article?article_id=133069">Ad Age</a> says that these shirts should already be available in &#8220;select stores&#8221;, but there&#8217;s no &#8220;where to shop&#8221; or &#8220;buy&#8221; link to be seen at <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/softwearbymicrosoft/">Softwear&#8217;s site</a>. Tell us if you know where these things are sold. But don&#8217;t buy them. Or buy them. I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s all too weird.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7048 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/macrohard.jpg" alt="macrohard" width="520" height="372" title="macrohard photo" /></p>
<p>Microsoft, which headline would you prefer to see: one that says you guys are making shirts now, or one that says your software and gadgets are so unbelievably dependable now? Because <a href="http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/08/15/microsofts-mojave-experiment-exposes-serious-vista-problems/">some</a> of <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2008/09/05/xbox-360-defects-an-inside-history-of-microsofts-video-game-console-woes/">your</a> <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5121311/30gb-zunes-failing-everywhere-all-at-once?skyline=true&amp;s=x">products</a> sure could have used your funds and attention.</p>
<p>But if you release a Clippy shirt I&#8217;ll buy one. Just so I can burn it. Okay I won&#8217;t I&#8217;ll keep it.</p>
