It’s no secret that Microsoft and Google don’t particularly like each other, especially when Microsoft launched their Scroogled campaign whereby they poke fun at a number of Google products. This ranges from Gmail, to Google Docs, to Chrome, and the latest being Google’s Chromebooks which are essentially laptops running Chrome OS instead of your more typical Windows. In the latest Scroogled campaign, Microsoft has hired Rick Harrison and Richard “The Old Man” Harrison of reality TV show fame, Pawn Stars.
The ad basically shows a young lady coming into their shop trying to pawn off a Chromebook so she can go to Hollywood, but unfortunately Rick turns her down laughing, stating that without an internet connection, the Google Chromebook is essentially a brick. He goes on to slag other aspects of Google, saying that by using Chromebooks, it allows Google to spy on you and use your data for more targeted advertising. Granted a good deal of Chrome OS’s functionality requires internet connectivity, but lately there has been support for offline use, especially for those looking for productivity such as Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and etc.
In any case it certainly looks like Microsoft is stepping up their Scroogled campaign and if you have a few minutes to spare, perhaps this is a vide you’ll want to watch, just for some laughs.

We think it’s safe to say playing video games and cursing up a storm goes hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. Sure – many of us try to live a life free to expletives, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the population will hold back their potty mouths, but Microsoft apparently is attempting to do so within its Upload Studio application.

We know it’ll be only a matter of time until Microsoft releases a slimmer version of its Xbox One, especially when you consider how heavy the dang console is when compared to the PlayStation 4. The slimming down of the Xbox One will inevitably happen some time in the console’s future, although if you can’t wait to get your hands on a smaller Xbox One, then the next best thing would have to be this 3D-printed Xbox One.

We recently learned the PlayStation 4 only costs a total of $381 to build, which means its current selling price of $399 allows Sony to rake in just $18 per console that’s sold. Now that the Xbox One is out in the wild, IHS has once again estimated what it costs to build Microsoft’s next-generation console, and it looks like the company isn’t making much money with the sale of each console either.
