Three guys walk into a bar

What do Dave Cutler, Don Box and Hoi Vo have going on at the XBOX division at Microsoft ? If you are working on Microsoft things and you don’t know at least 2 of the 3 names then put down your mouse and go start working at Burger King. Dave Cutler is the genius behind [...]

The MBAs are Moving In

Mark my words Apple is doomed. For a Huge nimble tech company to be so quickly dominated by the corporate MBA culture, it’s the kiss of death.

What a Load of DRM

We had gotten my son a new Apple computer earlier in the year. Its was a fresh install and all the older programs were wiped out. One of the programs was Microsoft Office home and student edition. This version has a license for three computers to use the Office suite at a time. We loaded [...]

That old Apple magic

Let me tell you straight. I love Apple stuff, its fantastic, it works very well and I don’t have to tell people how to use it. Its fantastically integrated with Application, Music and Movie media. that being said, I cant stand Apple’s hippie, snotty, holier than thou attitude. I always said that if Apple had [...]

Native Silverlight for the iPhone ?

Hmmm, sounds stupid doesn’t it ? There are rumors moving around that Apple is thinking of replacing the Google Search as the default with Microsoft’s Bing.

Marketing gone wild

It gets to a point that you have to go “What are these people thinking ?” Take the Microsoft Zune for instance, this is a great device and does great things plus is getting traction. The problem is when you try to load an actual application for the Zune a 30 second clip of an [...]

Good for the Goose

Quite a few years ago read a piece about Microsoft accounting practices. It said something like if you are an investor, be careful when Microsoft starts declaring all the software the employees use at Microsoft. This will mean their profits are starting to slow because now they are using this software used “in house” as [...]

Just to make a buck

If there is a poster child to the “don’t care about making profits, just start a company to be acquired” its Marc Andreessen. This guy’s one hit wonder was his luck of falling into the whole Mosaic/Netscape browser project. After this venture, which of course every knows ended up failing in spectacular form when they [...]
