An interesting video that I found on the internet it. It is spoofing the MAC vs PC advert with the new games constoles the Wii and PlayStation 3. It spoofs the advert well but behinds up lots of interesting points. This advert has an interesting sexaul element which I know a couple guys who will buy a Wii because of this advert and sadly, a couple more that will buy a PS3 because of this.

The fact it is a little sexual, it has been taken down off you tube and displayed the following message.

The world has truly gone firefox crazy, becuase believe it or not, this picture is real.Made by some local fans of Firefox, the Firefox Crop Circle project shows that we have so much passion for the web browser that the logo can now be seen from visible from space.

Quote from the offical web site.

Planned in under two weeks and completed in under 24 hours, the crop circle had a final diameter of 220 feet. We constructed the circle in an oat field near Amity, Oregon, where it was completely invisible from the road but unmistakable from the sky. Our team consisted of 12 people, mainly OSU students, and we carefully stomped down oats from 3:30pm Friday afternoon until 2:30am, putting on the finishing touches between 7:30am and 11:00am Saturday, August 12.
