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. Makes sense, since Google and Apple are squaring off in the mobile space.
Buy how about this for a rumor, Microsoft insisting on bringing Silverlight (Microsoft’s flash want-to-be) natively to the [...]

The shift is on (Again)

I was looking for one event in the past year for me that stood out in the High Tech events, and one thing that did rise above the rest was a one day trip I took to the Bay Area and I left my laptop behind and only took my Apple iPhone 3G. This may [...]

A little of this, a little of that

Its mainly a Microsoft today. The Microsoft store by us in the Mission Viejo Mall, Shops of Mission Viejo opens at 10am, my son has today off from school for Parent Teacher week, so he wants to go at noon time.
Fine I said , lets get our free goodie bags and sign up for the [...]

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 ad [...]

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 prematurely [...]

One shot Windows Mobile

I have a few Microsoft Windows Mobile phones. They have never, ever been upgraded.
I want to believe me, but I cant, even if I could (I have seen a few instances) the manufacturer makes it as difficult as they can for me to upgrade.
Its a smart phone that cant be upgraded. I might as [...]

Lumpy Bumpy Bar

I have been talking to a few P.R. firms lately and the one thing that keeps coming up and kind of caught me by surprise was how many of them are doing Public Relations for a Company’s Lawsuit. Basically a firm is suing another firm and they hire the P.R. firm to get the lawsuits [...]

The perfect server

I was looking for a fool proof server setup for a small to medium size company with expandability. I think I found a solution.
I will take a quad (or dual quad) Processor Pentium machine, Windows 2008, Hyper-V server and a Drobo Pro External Disk.
This way I have foolproof data mirroring, the ability to add multiple [...]

It’s about time

Just a prelude to this subject, is I am a tri-computer user. I do a great deal in Windows, all my music and video work is on the Macintosh and I use Linux and I run all of these on my Apple MacBook Pro laptop.
That being said, the new Microsoft ad campaign is brilliant. It [...]
