Microsoft smear campaign
Yesterday, Microsoft started selling hats, mugs,
T-shirts, and hoodies with a distinct anti-Google message, bearing phrases like
"keep calm while we steal your data" alongside the Chrome browser
logo. They're the latest wave of Microsoft's long-running Scroogled campaign,
designed to frighten people away from using Google services. While Microsoft is
only selling T-shirts, Google is hard at work on its Google Glass wearable
computing device. Still, Glass is very much a work in progress, and the retort
can only reach so far. While only those who pay close attention to technology
are likely to read Google's wit, Microsoft's clothing has the potential to
reach anyone who sees the merchandise.
