Defective Guru and I were just talking about this the other day and then I stumble upon a post about the need to replace the floppy disk icon as the GUI metaphor for saving a file.

Coincidence? Or is something greater at work? Perhaps it is merely a plot to get DG to update his flippin' blog.

Never one to shy away from sensational exaggeration, The Drudge Report gives Senator John McCain marquee billing with the headline "SEN. MCCAIN STARS IN BOOB RAUNCH FEST" for his cameo role in this summer's "The Wedding Crashers".

I recently read Free Prize Inside by Seth Godin and it got me thinking; could software bugs be a marketing opportunity? What if you received a small reward when software failed? The user gets a reward for what is otherwise an inconvenience.




The link to get the free song could be tied to a specific error so if redeemed, the software maker can obtain metrics on bugs in their products.
