[PRESS] Vanishing Point Game in the News

I don't know if we want to start a separate PRESS thread, but this was on CNN.com this morning:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/01/10/vista.promo.ap/index.html

[edit - started a PRESS thread for this stuff - kona]

'Channel 11' isn't very specific Razz
Network name? Is it a network or a local station to you? If it's network it'll likely be on other channels for other people not local.

It's the local Fox affiliate.

You fell into the same pothole I frequently do: the vital info was NOT in the body of the post, but hidden in the Subject line and Subject description:

(I'm not sure if a single *broadcast* channel can reach ALL of southern california, from L.A. to San Diego. Care to specify a city? Even better, how about the station's call letters?)

It's a part of the new-and-improved forums that I haven't yet gotten used to.

It just aired a few minutes ago. It was all right, I suppose, but something about the way they said "viral marketing campaign" made it sound creepy. Well, at the very least it certainly gave Bill Gates more free publicity for Windows Vista, which is after all the point.

Wonder who the guys who got interviewed were. The guy with the beard looked familiar...reminded me of a certain guy with an eight-legged avatar.
