Microsoft MSN AdCenter Desktop for Mac

King Rosales — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:22:49 +0000

Where can I find AdCenter Desktop for Macs? If you’re asking this question, then know that myself and many other happy Mac users (like SEMGeek) are still wondering the same thing. Keep in mind that this question also includes an obvious rhetorical question as to why would Microsoft support a Mac platform. As a recent new owner of a used 24″ iMac, the performance differences are indisputably clear and now it is unlikely I will ever buy a Windows-based PC again.

After I learned about the tool, while on my iMac, I googled it and found it on the Microsoft Advertising website for download, but as soon as the download dialog box popped up, I immediately realized it was an EXE file and not a DMG file for my mac. Microsoft AdCenter Desktop Beta has been available since last year, but since I didn’t manage many MSN AdCenter accounts then, there wasn’t a real need to install it.

Well, I still needed to use it for work so I installed it on one of the HP laptops running Windows XP Professional and installed the remote desktop connection tool for my imac and just use it that way. Why I didn’t or don’t want to dual boot my iMac to run windows? well, I’d rather not have to do all the setup work and because it was easier to remotely connect to windows computer, it made sense to me. Plus, I always have my 4-year old IBM T43 laptop at home.

One of the things I did notice about AdCenter Desktop is that the layouts are quite similar but the expandable sections on the left and right for keyword research and campaign lists function like that of Yahoo! Search Marketing Desktop:

Well, I’m still left wondering when Microsoft will start supporting mac versions of the AdCenter Desktop software product. But I guess right now if they still are not in the process of developing a mac version, they just not be too concerned with the percentage of users who manage pay per click (PPC) accounts or paid advertising campaigns that may use an Apple computer.

I wonder if this goes all the way back to the days of how Pirates of Silicon Valley depicted it to be? Have you ever watched Pirates of Silicon Valley? It is one of the best classic IT industry movies ever made! Goosebumps all over! Love it, hate it, whatever! Nobody will ever know if you bought your own copy of it!

Parisian Lust – Parisian Love Spoof

King Rosales — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:05:45 +0000

When I first saw the full set of Google Search Stories back late last year, I couldn’t help but completely appreciate the concept. Surprising to me, most people didn’t actually see the Parisian Love Google Search Story until it aired during the SuperBowl this year when Google had a long campaign in November about their Google Search Stories.

Today, while checking out some FailBlog.org YouTube channel videos, I discovered, “Parisian Lust” with a thumbnail that resembled “Parisian Love” – This video is NSF haha, well in a contextual… context I just couldn’t resist sharing it. enjoy.

TED 5000 Now In Stock!

King Rosales — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:39:22 +0000

It has been a long wait for the TED 5000 Home Energy Monitor, but at last, they are finally now in stock. I first blogged about the TED 5000 2 weeks ago when I first discovered that Google created the Google PowerMeter app for it and it caught my attention and as far as home energy monitors is concerned, is probably one of the most discussed home energy monitors in the market; not just simply because it hasn’t been available, but because Google made their PowerMeter App for it and 3M recently acquired interest in Energy Inc., the manufacturers of the TED 5000, TED 1000 (The Energy Detective).

Well, I just found out from PowerMeterStore.com, distributors for the TED 5000, that the TED 5000 models are finally on crates heading over from China and will be shipping first week of March 2010. The TED 5000 were originally scheduled to ship a couple of weeks ago but was delayed due to Chinese New Year celebrations in China.

If you’re interested in learning more about the TED 5000, read my TED 5000 review, learn about the different TED 5000 models or buy the TED 5000 online.

Here’s the latest TED 5000 video I could find:
