This is such a cool advertising campaign for the new GAP Sprize loyalty campaign:

Though it seems rather blunt and obvious, no one had done it before and it is actually very clever. Not to mention the free buzz something this clever gets because it is very bloggable, twitterable and smart. Even looks like a great execution. Wish they would do something like that here in Bermuda. Anyway, enjoy the video, only takes two minutes and is pretty cool.

I had a problem installing my piece of crap Microsoft VX-1000 Lifecam. I would run the 43Mb exe you get from download.microsoft.com and it would run for a little while and then get an unexpected error. Basically, the problem is that they give you the software in an EXE format rather than a ZIP of all the drivers and the setup.exe to make the GUI Lifecam manager. Thus when the poorly programmed exe fails, it is hard to manually find the *.inf driver file and install it.
Solution:
- Plug the Camera in.
- Go to Windows Update Look For Driver
- Browse to a specific location > See if C:\Program Files\Microsoft LifeCam exists, if so go to > Driver 32 > Vx-1000 (or whatever model you have) and OK should now change to not be greyed out
- Then click next and it should install fine
- If C:\Program Files\Microsoft LifeCam does not exist - here is a link to the files - http://bermudainternetmarketing.com/uploads/Microsoft-Lifecam-vx-1000-Driver32.zip
