Akismet activation however will be confusing for non-wordpress.com users (read: people who run wordpress…

Imagine this. You’re McGyver, and ninjas have you cornered in an office. So you pull out your Swiss knife, and fashion a giant slingshot out of the carpet and the leather from the office chairs.

MS Origami Vid
Truly radical new thing in computing? Or just another ‘cool thing to have’? I’ve seen this 4 month old vid twice and over, and my conclusion: this commercial isn’t very good at telling us what it actually does. Which means I wanna find out, and therefore wanna give it a spin. So I guess the…
