Here’s how BT chose to illustrate “surfing the internet” about five years ago. It has put a lot of effort into making it, but we’d be lying if we said we were impressed by the skills of the person or people responsible. At least the scene has been grounded in reality by ...

The girls claim that Windows 7 was their idea, so perhaps that kindly-featured blonde one might be able to pop round some time to solve a few driver conflicts our soundcard is generating on startup?

The woman’s torso is as good as it gets. Samsung issued lots of arty photos of the device strewn about desks, but only one featured any human interaction. So here’s a woman holding the HMX-U10 at arm’s length at 3384 x 4536 resolution.
