Microsoft DID use that ’smiley face with torso’ thing on Microsoft Chat – an IRC chat client.

Interesting article…though the ‘Waaah! Too many pages!’ comments are in their own way more entertaining than the article itself. Yeesh–it’s a series of pictures, one per page with a caption–how hard is it to wrap your mind around this concept? Blasted ADD/teal-deer kids–be amusing to force them to read an actual book once in a while (‘Waaah! There’s a hundred pages of nothing but text and no graphics! Too long!’)

Mind you–I do have my own issues with the articles on the site–I’ve read 4 or 5 of them tonight, and every single one really could have used a bit more research before they were posted. *That’s* more likely to make readers leave and not return than the tl;dr crap, frankly.

There’s no way in hell I’m clicking through 15 pages. It makes the site harder to use and is just a useless ploy to get more ad impressions (useless because of adblockplus). Put the whole thing on one page, or atleast give an option to.
