National flags are everywhere in abundance, anything and everything that be colored red, white, or blue has gotten the full treatment.

		<description><![CDATA[So Microsoft has hired Jerry Seinfeld as their pitchman. Some are surprised, but if you think about it, it follows the standard Microsoft business model: take something that was once cool and groundbreaking, but now past its prime, and use it to generate cash from folks who still think it&#8217;s relevant.

If I were him I&#8217;d be eating my gun right about now. The Chinese have just set the bar to new heights. Good show, China.
