I just bought a new Mac, so maybe I’m a little biased (and brainwashed, to boot!) when I say that I think Macs are better than PC’s. And apparently — at least according to cult leader Steve at the local Greensboro store who was also selling me a new computer — sales haven’t slowed down as a result of the stupid and annoying “You find it, you keep it!” ads that Windows has been running.

Even if it has, though, the recent BYU-Oklahoma game may reverse that immediately. You see, the two teams met in the new Cowboys Stadium, but Sam Bradford’s shoulder injury wasn’t the only major malfunction seen that day: the rolling ticker somehow collapsed (technologically speaking) and flashed a warning sign familiar to most Windows/PC users.

From TUAW (via SbB):

Reader Jeff tells us that they had a breakdown on the scoreboard screens: first, the screens went blank, then displayed some odd ASCII gibberish, then announced to the assembled crowd that things weren’t going so well in Microsoft land. Jeff was there with his trusty iPhone to capture the moment for us, and we present it to you on this day when you’re not working, either.

Now, Peter G. Jayhawk pointed out that it was a tremendous fail for both Bill Gates and Jerry Jones. I wouldn’t disagree. However, I would say that I think in this case, Jerry is far more embarrassed — it’s not like Gates hasn’t dealt with his share of Windows-related nightmares before.

Jones, on the other hand, has a brand new, high-priced stadium that he wants to showcase to the world when the Cowboys host the Panthers on Monday Night Football and yet, he can’t seem to get anything to work (notably their technological equipment), which, come to think of it, is kind of what Gates deals with all the time.

Last week, the Lincoln Journal Star highlighted another absurd price at Cowboys Stadium (a thread we’ve talked about here before): a plain pizza in luxury boxes? That will cost you NINETY DOLLARS.

But looks like this was wrong, as it’s believed a tour guide gave out some bad info.  (And if we can’t trust a tour guide … who can we trust? )

Todd Archer is here to set the world straight:

Now, people in suites can get a $60 pizza. It’s 20 inches. There are cheese, pepperoni, chicken and artichoke, meat and margherita options. Toppings included. And it’s the same price they had last year at Texas Stadium.

Oh, OK, so it’s only sixty dollars. And it’s what they charged last year? Totally cool. Think about it: you can get toppings now — mmm, artichokes! — and it’s $30 less than we previously thought.

I think this is what people in the retail business call a “deal.”

I don’t know about you guys, but if I’m ever in Cowboys Stadium, I’m going to try and finesse my way into a suite for one of these guys.

Life is never fair. You work hard, you do your best, and then you come home from the most miserable post office experience of your life — my paychecks from the last two weeks are definitely in the mail somewhere, it’s just that they don’t know where, exactly, which is helpful — and you read a blog post like this. And then death-by-alcohol becomes a suddenly viable option:

The 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium is certainly impressive enough when it’s showing game highlights or concert footage, but no giant screen ever truly earns its credentials until it’s been put to some real use: playing video games. Thankfully, Jonas Brothers video director Steve Fatone somehow pulled himself away from concert preparations to do just that earlier this week, and apparently became the first person to ever play Xbox 360 on the display in the process.

Yes, the first person to play video games on the most awesomest screen of all time wasn’t that screen’s owner, Jerry Jones, or someone more qualified, like Steve Wiebe. Nope. It was the dude who directs videos for the Jonas Brothers. This is what a life of disguising sex as virtue and selling it to teenage girls apparently gets you. Like I said: not fair.

One of my favorite blog posts we’ve ever done here was highlighting the $9 Pabst Blue Ribbon at new Yankee Stadium. Nine dollars! For a PBR! Hipsters everywhere cried tears of sadness.

But, the Cowboys’ new stadium is giving the Yankees a literal run for their money. Followers of Martellus Bennett’s Twitter feed might have seen him pimping a tour of the team’s new stadium, and the video that followed.

The fine people at Intentional Foul grabbed this from said video:

Unless the Cowboys are still working out the details of food and drink prices, you are indeed reading that right: $14 for a beef sandwich and $7.50 for a hot dog. Tremendous.

Though, maybe it’s not so bad.There’s a chance each of these items is the size of my head, right?
