This is a hilarious video that overly-exaggerates the never-ending torture that comes from dealing with many of the clients when freelancing. Regardless of whether you’re a graphic designer, web designer/developer or multimedia designer, the start of the road to independent freelancing starts off very tough indeed. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfprIxNfCjk Excuse the foul language, although it does make it even funnier!

This is a short video by CollegeHumor that uses sarcasm to point out the possible lack of competition for the Google search engine: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W268COdhmV0 Microsoft launched Bing in an attempt to make life difficult for Google.

It is by far one of the most frustrating aspects of the online experience, and unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be ending anytime soon. Spamming started back in 1978 on the network of the…

A hilarious video by The Onion taking a humorous approach to Apple’s philosophy: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA While the report is completely fictitious, there are a number of valid points made (through exaggerating): Apple are always desperate to be “innovative” in anyway, to the point of over-looking what the consumer is actually looking for InĀ many cases, the company looks to sell features…

The Microsoft Surface has been announced for a while now, but this video takes a sarcastic approach to the same advertisement Microsoft had used to market their new product. Besides the fact that it is hilarious, it’s also interesting to see how some new “innovations” do not always go hand-in-hand with users’ demands, but rather dictate what the user wants/needs:…
