Just seen that one. Gets annoying after about 1 minute!

I want this! I want this!  

Fashionably over a barrel at least.....

Angry Birds has generated hundreds of millions of downloads for Finnish mobile games firm Rovio Entertainment, but the company's financial results for 2011 reveal just how lucrative the franchise was that year.

 

The company has reported total revenues of €75.4m (£60.8m) for 2011, with earnings before tax of €48m (£38.7m).

 

30% of Rovio's revenues for the year came from its consumer products business, which includes merchandising and licensing income.

 

Rovio says that the total number of Angry Birds game downloads reached 648m by the end of 2011, with 200m monthly active users (MAUs) across all platforms.

 

Pretty bizarre how they don't mention all the other record-breaking games in their portfolio, like Mole Burner 3, hey...

 

;)

They should do, as thats what their portfolio is based upon. Without those, the company is worthless! Angry Birds can't keep them running. ;)

Actually looks sort of kind of interesting that keyboard there too.

 

What makes me think it just won't be that slick in the end.

When is Windows 8 going to be released anyway? Anything clearer than "around October"?

Still a fair whack away isn't it.

And I'm not sure most people will be interested in that radical redesign thing they got going. What they call it, Metro?

Intesting on the MS stuff:

 

Microsoft’s Surface heads-up to PC partners was at most a three day warning, OEM insiders claim, with Windows head Steven Sinofsky outlining sketchy details in a series of short calls last Friday. The Windows RT and Windows 8 tablets came as almost a complete surprise to hardware partners in the US and Taiwan, Reuters‘ sources at the firms have insisted, with Sinofsky’s calls failing to confirm either then name or the specifications of the slates. However, at least one high-profile PC manufacturer has suggested that Microsoft’s plans for the Surface brand are short-lived.

 

Acer founder Stan Shih argues that Microsoft is merely looking to fuel interest in next-gen Windows tablets, DigiTimes reports, giving existing OEMs a kick in creating their own models. Once that has happened, Shih suggests, Microsoft will likely bow out of the hardware market, so as not to face ongoing marketing, distribution and aftersales headaches.
