He used an experimental hardware interface that adds a standard ethernet connection to the Commodore and a special graphic operating system (with window manager), Contiki.

He loads Google.it page in the C=64 web browser and… it works!

The choice of this first (very short) video is related to the Macintosh’ 25th birthday that Apple celebrates this year (since 1984): here’s a fast compilation of all the startup sounds that were included in Macintosh machines, from the first Mac 128k to today.
