Flash Lite on Windows Mobile

Nial Kennedy is leaving Microsoft. His reason? He joined MS to work on the Live initiatives and after MS stock fell when they announced their Live goals, they scaled back everything. Sounds like Live won't be nearly as cool as it could have been....

Rory > Joel

Seriously, not only does Rory provide 10x more insight than Joel Spolsky's "I'm 10x Smarter than Anyone at Microsoft but My Software Still Sucks" blog , but he is a million times more entertaining. Take, for instance, his recent article about the Ballmer...

Joel On Ballmer
