“simply stunning”

I was stunned when I saw a TV commercial for Internet Explorer during this season’s premiere of Breaking Bad last night, so I decided to look it up on YouTube to share with a friend.

While doing so, I came across another IE 9 ad – this time quoting ConceivablyTech:

I then decided it would be a good idea to check out this “Conceivably Tech” website…

Now I can see how “Conceivably Tech” called it “simply stunning”.

Also note that Microsoft refers to them as “Conceivably Tech” (two words), when it should read “ConceivablyTech”.

It’s a little surprising (or maybe not) that Microsoft would quote such a small and unaccredited website in a major commercial, alongside The New York Times…but then again, it is Microsoft.

Note: I’m not making any judgements about ConceivablyTech’s writing – I didn’t read anything there. I do however, recommend they invest in a good web designer.
