How good is Microsoft in spam catch?

After two days, the email still not in my Inbox… I check the junk folder and … here it is! The Hotmail put the email from Microsoft Affiliate Network in the spam… How funny it is?

Samsung ACE global smartphone, M520 go live on Sprint
Posted Feb 17th 2008 2:40PM by Chris ZieglerFiled under: cellphones, Handhelds Given the BlackJack’s popularity on AT&T, it only makes sense that Sprint (among other carriers) would be looking to get in on that action. Indeed, as expected, Sprint has now launched Samsung’s ACE (get it? like the really good card to have when you’re playing blackjack?) that comes out swinging with Windows Mobile 6 Standard, 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, stereo Bluetooth, EV-DO, and a SIM slot for hooking your globetrotting butt up with GSM service when you find yourself overseas; what it doesn’t have is HSDPA, so don’t look at this puppy as an apples-for-apples BlackJack II replacement.

This really is a great job of combining steam with radio components. The last entry into Questioneering’s blog was October 2007, so we are hoping that he is still around and working on ever greater projects. Video after the jump.

I guess this could be fairly described as geek humor. Most attempts at geek humor fail to impress me, but this was funny. It was posted up on You Tube about three weeks ago and did get a bit of play on a few sites. I don’t remember where I saw it first, it could have been anywhere but I would hazard a guess that it was either TechEblog or Technabob. Anyway, without further ado, the Vacationeers with Google Maps. Video after the jump. (Read the full post about ‘Video: Vacationeers on Google Maps’…)
