Welcome to the new age of marketing. When you've got the biggest names in tech and media talking about something, then clearly what you've done is a win. You might not like it (hell, I don't like it either) but the fact remains - MS's ad people get a mark in the W column for this one. - Bradley McSpinn
We talked about this earlier. I was telling you about the jewelry add that said "People will talk" featuring a very unattractive person in the add. they got people talking for sure. - Candace Holly
The tech crowd and the Usual Suspects will be proven wrong on this campaign. They sound like Microsoft's marketing department explaining why Apple's ads actually suck. - Chris Baskind
I didn't even cover the ad over at Mashable when it came out - it's just another ad, and it's fairly entertaining in the same way seinfeld or the cavemand ads were entertaining - but it's just an ad. I didn't see a story hook or way to talk about it. it's just. an. ad. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Does Microsoft really need more people to talk about them? Isn't the goal to generate some enthusiasm for the products? - Andrew Warner
It is just an add but, I was hashing this out with Rob (a co-worker) today. I told him "You know what? People who aren't in the tech space do not like Vista. Ask people why and they will tell you it's because of what they've heard. Now this ad comes out and everyone and their brother is talking about it. The same people are going to hear about this ad, find it and watch it. Microsoft got people to do their footwork for them." Which brings me to Brad's point..free publicity for MS! - Candace Holly

The one thing that I care about is Moscone. I'll be up that way for Oracle OpenWorld in a couple of weeks, but I'll probably spend most of my time within a few blocks of Moscone.

I'm a former SFer and soon to be again! Currently living by the big red x. Yikes. I was in SF during the quake, though. Surprised that it was only 4.2. I felt it all the way over at UCSF on Parnassus. Felt like a car crashed into the house where I was babysitting. I can only imagine how it would have been at home. Power was only mishap. Had to reprogram clocks and stuff when I got here... - Lisa L. Seifert

I'm somewhere on that map as well. I was driving at the time and didn't feel a thing. - Alan Le

:O Mona's HUGE! - Mo Kargas
I can barely fit on the map... lower right corner in the brown, next to the RFID plant and IBM Almaden... You also need to scale that the map is 100 miles wide. SF != SJ. SF = 1hr easy from SJ on a good day with supersonic jets and no other citizens on the roads. :) - Eric Rice

Top US ancestries by country (2000)
Friday at 11:42 pm - Link
we don't study much American history here, but the vast German ancestry is very surprising. - Jasmin Smith
Surprisingly little claimed Irish ancestry, considering there are more Irish in the rest of the world than there are people in Ireland. - Slippy Lane
So you're all Germans? :-) What's the state which is mainly English ancestries? - Kol Tregaskes
That would be Utah as the main one, with Idaho to the North, Nevada to the West and a few English in Wyoming, North East of Utah. - Slippy Lane
@Slippy Lane (slippy): Ah, thanks - Kol Tregaskes via NoiseRiver
Hehe, and I'm not even American. - Slippy Lane
I wonder what "Americans" means. They have a different category for "Native American". - Jason Wehmhoener
Yes, lots of Germans in Oregon. The language was, until surpassed by Spanish several years ago, Oregon's second most commonly spoken language. - Christopher Harley
interesting to see that all the Norwegians are situated north in America. - Baard Overgaard Hansen
Well, I am Dutch, German, English, Irish, Swedish, and a dozen other flavors in Mich. I think this was more accurate, say, 30 years ago. The last generation or two have begun moving around a lot. - Michael W. May
I dunno, I'm from Missouri, on Mom's side I'm 4th gen from Germany. There were a lot of blond heads where I grew up. Mom's side of the family has all dispersed since then though. Dad's side is also German ancestry, but I'm more like 12 or 13th gen there, and that side is still mostly in Missouri, probably won't be leaving anytime soon either. - Jason Wehmhoener
Lots of German heritage in the US: my great-grandfather moved to MI from Germany after WWI and my grandfather grew up speaking nothing but German until he went to school. Unfortunately, he started school in the US after Hitler had come to power in Germany: he paid a very dear price for that... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Jasmin: from 1850-1900, there were several waves of German, Italian, and Irish immigrants who spread quickly. Kol/Jason: this is based of the US Census, which allows people to choose what ancestry they closely identify with. American merely means that the respondent identified themselves as American rather than Irish or German. Dollars to the donuts most of the American identifying people are probably old south, and are of English descent. Baard: The lake superior region is known for the Scandinavians; as people emigrated towards the west, Swedish and Norwegian immigrants chose that area because it most closely resembled home. - Mark Trapp
Slippy Lane, up until a few years ago, there were more Jews in the US than there were in Israel, too. But the Irish, Jewish, and Italian communities are all closely surrounding New York City and Boston. As this is broken out by county and by ancestry with the most in that county, it doesn't give an accurate picture of how populous the Irish and Italian communities are in the tri-state region. - Mark Trapp
mark is correct. if anyone cares to read about this map and the data more in depth, check this pdf out: http://www.census.gov/prod/200... - Cee Bee
Fair points, both. :-) - Slippy Lane
hmmm, for Canada there will be huge splat of Ukrainians in the middle, in Alberta mostly... - silpol
what's the source of this map? it's nicely done - Nathan Rein
I say we just call the whole thing, "American," and be done with it. - Pete Delucchi
Mark Trapp and others: a lot of the "Americans" in the South are probably either English as Mark said or Scots-Irish. There was a large Scots-Irish migration to the SC backcountry (and much of the rest of what's now the Deep South) in the 1700s. - steplow is Steve
No Scottish at all? That surprises me. - Grant Fitzgerald
I'm surprised by the seeming under-representation of the Scottish and Irish as well. I would have figured the NY/Boston areas would have been weighted more heavily that way. But the concentration of Germans in the middle of the country seems dead-on. - Abby Martin
Fascinating! - Charlie Anzman
Scot-Irish and English were most of mine but the German migrations have been steady since the 16-1700s... one of my ancestors came to PA from Augsburg then to NC before the RevWar - Jeff Quinton
Well that explains why NYC has the best pizza. - Eric
Of course the design of the map is potentially misleading. If you have ten counties with a distribution like this: county 1, 51% German, 49% Irish; county 2, 51% Puerto Rican, 49% Irish; county 3, 51% Italian, 49% Irish; county 4, 51% African American, 49% Irish, and so on ... then the Irish would not appear on the map at all, even though they were the single most numerous ethnicity. - Nathan Rein
What does "American" ancestry mean? - Nikhil Dandekar
"american" is basically a designation people chose to give themselves when answering this census instead of listing their heritage from someplace else - Cee Bee
I love how Hawaii is blanketly "other". Sheesh. Who am I? Where do I come from? Am I an Others from Lost? - Josh Haley
That's outdated! There a TON of Hispanics in the Chi (including me)! How rude! - zoblue (Zulema)
Nathan's dead-on about this being misleading. It makes it seem like my county is mostly Polish. There's no way it's even 30% Poles here, we're mostly a mix of Celts, Italians, and various Slavs. I'm thinking, Poles, ~20%, Irish, ~19% (albeit the loudest and best-partying 19%), everything else between 10 and 18%… - Sharon
right Sharon, it all depends on how narrowly the "ethnicity" slots are defined, and my impression is that the Census Bureau is pretty capricious in that regard. Re its misleading character, though, it occurs to me that it operates on precisely the same principle as the Electoral College... heh.. - Nathan Rein
