Bill Gates era coming to a close
Bill Gates is just about done at Microsoft. I feel very fortunate just have been in the same room when he did the keynote at Mix06. I don't think the guy is evil in any way. I think he's f'ing brilliant, and he deserves every bit of his success. He's...
Microsoft interview fail
Well, I don't have to worry about moving to Seattle, because Microsoft is not making an offer. So now that it's all in the past, I feel like I can talk a little more openly about the experience. I won't say which group it was that I was approached by...
Mix08: The Steve Ballmer interview by Guy Kawaski
Kawasaki took no time to take cheap shots at Ballmer, working in chair throwing jokes in the first minute. Google he says they're definitely underdogs in the search and advertising markets. He says Apple also does good work in the music and PC space,...
Mix08: Ray Ozzie, Dean Hachamovitch, Scott Guthrie keynote
Ozzie has been regarded as the thinker who will take the place of Gates and set the tone for the direction of the company's software. I think that's a pretty huge burden. Generally speaking, he's got the right idea in the bigger picture, that the PC over...
Xbox Live support beats all other Microsoft units as the absolute worst
I still get comments on the most random posts on this blog, but none more frequent than on my previous post about the joke that is Xbox support . Read the comments and you'll find more dropped balls than you can imagine. I'm not going to bother with contacting...
Microsoft mystery site of the day
http://www.defyallchallenges.com/ What morons put this up? Tell me if you can figure out what it's for in five seconds or less. If you can't, then what's the point of it being there?
PowerPoint ain't got nothin' on Keynote, the culture gap
That $100 store credit from Apple for my iPhone has been burning a hole in my pocket now for awhile, so I strolled into church, er, the Apple Store to play with Keynote, the presentation tool and approximate competitor to PowerPoint. I've done a few PowerPoint...
Apple is not the new Microsoft
I noticed the PC World editorial proclaiming that Apple was the new Microsoft (via this blog ), and I swear the mainstream press will print anything these days. I've gone on record time and time again about how much I care about, and love using, Microsoft...
How xhtmlconformance kicked my ass
This morning I started combing through every config file on two servers that I mentioned in my last post . Eventually, I found this in the root app of the second machine that was giving us problems: <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"/> I think I knew...
Xbox Live support is a joke
I keep getting e-mail notification indicating that my Xbox Live subscription is about to expire. That's alarming since I recently re-upped using a card I bought at retail (it was old, and came with another headset and free billiards game from Arcade...
