Shameless Borg uses Mother's Day gift to win customers

Just when you thought the Borg could not be more cheesy, they outdo themselves. This time it's a Windows Live portrait studio on Union Street in San Francisco, not far from our Chestnut Street store. Deal is you get a free Mother's Day portrait if you sign up for Windows Live. Talk about customer acquisition costs. Question: Does anyone even know what Windows Live actually is? I mean it's been out for years and I still don't get it. I've tried reading their Web site to get info and it just makes me more confused. 

And now, just in case you weren't baffled enough already, they've introduced Live Mesh. Or Live Mess, as we call it in Cupertino. What is it? Who knows? Who cares?
