The fact that this guy makes something as boring as upgrading software over and over again actually enjoyable to watch is really astonishing.

He's got a good, non-emotional speaking voice, and his content:noise ratio is high. Also, the tempo of the overview is near perfect, and his choice of what video to show to go with his voiceover is flawless.
> He's got a good, non-emotional speaking voice

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by this?

What makes it good? What makes it non-emotional? What is an example of a bad voice? What is an example of an emotional voice?

He reports the facts in a way that doesn't give any clues to any biases; he gets neither excited nor upset at any point that I could detect. His voice is pleasing; not nasal, screechy, grating, nor anything else widely considered objectionable.

I suspect you knew all of this and were simply trying to jump on some point that sounded subjective to you and perhaps it is, but that's what I mean.

The choice of username has once again made me laugh :D
Also, his search in the Bing box in IE 9 caught me by surprise.
As did his machine name, "shitballs".
And the packet sniffer showing a request to "timecube.com". Gold.
It was a subtle joke alluding to his friend reluctantly lending him a Windows 7 machine (and him now screwing with his friend.)
horse pr0n! haha
Look, you're probably a good guy, but let's keep HN from turning into another cesspool like Neowin.
