Bork!Bork!Bork!<\/span> Back by unexpectedly popular demand, Bork takes a vacation to Vegas for an Elvis Presley tribute act.<\/p>\n

Register<\/i> reader Roger was in the audience for one of the final shows in a run of All Shook Up<\/i> at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.<\/p>\n

It also being the end of CES, the show served not only as a reminder of The King himself, but also of the inherent fallibility of using technology in any public-facing setting. While the impersonator on stage might have rattled through the likes of Suspicious Minds<\/em>, Microsoft’s finest made an unwanted appearance behind the gyrations of a man in a bejewelled jumpsuit.<\/p>\n

“I can’t seem to stand on my own two feet” indeed. And as for “acting wild as a bug,” well \u2013 Windows and bugs go together just like Elvis Presley and a high-cholesterol diet.<\/p>\n

“It made us laugh all the way through,” said Roger, “as they were trying valiantly to change the screen res\/external monitor config.”<\/p>\n

“We almost wanted to go and help.”<\/p>\n

Roger and pals did not. They were probably too weary from trudging around CES to assist in the rescue of yet another bit of borked tech. They’d likely seen enough of that already.<\/p>\n
