Uhm, Sir, Your Piracy Is Showing

Extreme-1
Uh Oh!

In the interesting article about Metro, (or whatever you want to call it) Joel Hruska describes the details of Microsoft’s new interface in Windows 8 in an unfortunately paginated article on extremetech.com. The article is a great explanation of many frustrations that will come from users trying to interact with Metro including how Metro apps communicate with Desktop apps and some of his frustrations around sharing Internet links. It’s worth a read.

But, oh, his frustrations about viewing video also lead him to post this image. Notice anything unusual there? It seems all the names of files listed are named after well known pirate releases of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It seems like Joel (or whomever has those files on a Windows 8 PC) has decided to name each file perfectly after pirated releases or…. well, you get it.
