i hate those family photoshop ads. they make me rage because i dont think that program is real. if i could photoshop a face onto another dudes face and make it look that natural in 1 minute would be amazing.
:smug:
[u][b]Microsoft British localization guide[/b][/u] In Britain they call action figures 'georges' and the word 'unruly' should be replaced with 'rubbish'. Also all girls are slightly older, while all boys are slightly younger. REMEMBER, there is only one accent in the United Kingdom, and it is posh. Using other fake "British" accents will get you fired on the spot.

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;27207121]Does this Magical Photo Fixing Software actually work well?[/QUOTE] Not magic, logic. Editor has all the different photos from the same angle. You select a box of a certain area and you can swap it with the same area in other photos. In this commercial's case, she took several pictures that something was wrong in, and used the feature I described to make a good one. Only problem with these W7 commercials is the term "Cloud" is misused. I'm not even going to bother telling how off it is.

These ads don't appear to be that annoying.
While we're on the topic, nothing is as cringe worthy as this pile of cunt here I saw on tv the other day: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHNWL-WdzsM[/media] Equally shit yank version [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1RvPQHZDOs&feature=related[/media] What the FUCK are they trying to prove with these ads!?

Watching all these different versions makes me think about parallel universes. [editline]5th January 2011[/editline] I'm gonna do my sexy daance, wohoo!
-snip-
I didn't see why it was so annoying. [sp]Until I saw the English one[/sp]
Good thing I don't watch TV.
[QUOTE=SoaringScout;27204853]I really, REALLY don't get it. All I see in these videos are people acting somewhat smug. If that's annoying, then you have serious anger issues.[/QUOTE] I don't deny that i do, i got pissed off over less before. Also why would you need cloud computing technology to do image editing? I don't get that.

God microsoft, why are you not showing off the detailed complicated bits that only a secluded minority will understand and enjoy in your adverts?
Oh god, stop it! I have to see it every time in german commercial breaks. I can even repeat the whole ad because I see it every damn time and rage so hard that I threw something against my TV
One of the many reasons I watch TV online
I really hope nobody falls for this ad, i strongly doubt you can do what they try to make you think you can do
Wanna bet on that the final picture doesn't look that normal
[QUOTE=DrLuke;27203162]It probably doesn't even remotely work as good as shown.[/QUOTE] Don't diss MS research.
Not really annoying, vague as hell though. How exactly does that represent cloud computing? Maybe the resource pictures were stored on Microsoft's cloud drive service or something, but how the hell is their target audience supposed to know that? It's never explained, it's just "TO THE CLOUD, IMA SWAP FACES HURR DURR". It seems like they're taking a brilliant concept and turning it into some stupid gimmick (although being MS that's not really abnormal) [editline]5th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=BmB;27219785]Don't diss MS research.[/QUOTE] I dunno, MS has this pattern where it takes them a few revisions to get an idea working (Vista -> 7, Windows Mobile, Windows 1-3)
Worst part is that they make you think you need a new PC for it even tough the old ones already run Win 7.
You guys are lucky. As a part of some whole 'the whole world is enjoying it, why not you too?' shit, we get all the Bo-xmas ads and shit "Ah worra about tha boy." "Money well spent." "I spent a lot of money on that." and so on.
All those Microsoft ads kind of annoy me. With the 'Cloud' ad, I keep on thinking 'But I don't have a spinning table?!!'
