How much do you like Microsoft's Zune?

Not as much as Steven Smith, pictured here. You might recall reading about him online last year; he's the guy who got Microsoft's attention after getting inked with three Zune tattoos. Now Smith's actually trying to change his name to Microsoft Zune. In an interview, Smith explained why: "What does happen when the Zune isn't around anymore (in like 50 yrs) and I have Zune tattoos? Well then the tattoos would pass on meaning if my name is Microsoft Zune. That and because anytime I greet someone and they verify I am not screwing with them I can talk to them about the Zune. I will be the full blooded walking advertisement." (Link via the Daily Weekly blog.)

And in New Jersey, the video game Bejeweled (created by Seattle's PopCap Games) played a role in a recent marriage proposal. Bernie Peng reprogrammed the game (his girlfriend's favorite) so a ring a proposal would pop up when she reached a certain score. She said yes.
