I had a blog post about time-less articles that I came across on Internet. TED is full of incredibly powerful speeches. Today, I watched some of them and decided to post the links here. This post will serve as a place holder for future video links.

More funny comments...from Microsoft
After discovering some funny comments from Dell folks (see previous post), I looked at some other folders in the CD and came across what seemed to be manifest files used possibly used by Microsoft upgrade scripts, User State Migration Tool (USMT) and Migration Wizard (MigWiz).
These files reside in the Dell's Windows 7 Pro CD that came with Dell Vostro CD. Specifically, under \sources\dlmanifests folder:
OK, that's a confession there! And why would not you uninstall reg keys cleanly?
I am just wondering who is (s)he talking to here...
Hmm, so who is this mollybro? I see a 'mollybro' profile in MSDN, with a reference to an SMB related resource. Same person?
OK, enough with this Saturday-Night Geek Entertainment. Here is the last one:
Nobody can say (s)he is not honest!

Funny Comments in Dell's IE Branding Script
I was looking at the contents of a CD that came with a new Dell Vostro PC (oh, don't even ask why).
The following folder initially seemed interesting:
\sources\$OEM$\$$\system32\OEM
But there was not much in there other than what seemed like an Internet Explorer branding script:
I was about to check the other folders, but wanted to checkout TextAppend.vbs and then noticed some interesting comments:
I like the --fail comments. Blogging for entertainment value :)
