That's not at all what he means. He said innovate and he means innovate. They've already been playing the same game and losing, he knows it has to change.

The issue is whether his destructive management style will allow it to happen. If you hate your boss will you work hard and think creatively for him or her? I wouldn't.

It's not about whether or not Microsoft is going to "innovate everywhere" and fail (I don't think they are that stupid as to overdiversify and one can argue that Apple is trying to play everywhere too) but rather if they can out innovate period.

Microsoft's problem is it's self-destructive culture. Like other companies, say Dell, their internal policies around employee evaluations, politics and programs that drive creativity are completely lacking or are totally destructive.

Microsoft needs to adopt a "Google like" culture that rewards innovation "outside of the chain of command". Any reward program that is drives management rewards up the chain at the expense of the actual author is doomed to fail. This is the heart of Microsoft's problem. It doesn't pay to innovate as what's more important is how you make your boss look and your bosses advancement, and so on.

Your statement sounds nice but it's also a complete misinterpretation of the purpose. Copyright exists to protect the creators and promote creation of works. This much is true.

What it does not exist to do is to give those who would blatantly use the works of others for their own purposes simply because they call it "art".

You do know that Youtube/Google pays video uploaders based on views right? I can gaurantee that while some might see the creation of the episode as art... I see it as creating a video based on someone elses creative work, their script, that's not art to me, but hey, who am I to judge.

Microsoft has a long history of making changes that their customers don't want, just look at the mess that is the Office toolbar and interface.

So now they move their sites to the server OS. Want a GUI? Too bad, we don't want to do the work so tough for you.

He blogged/tweeted/whatever about an unreleased product and its features..... and that is probably what the blogging policy was about. If you are an employee you don't talk about unannounced products or features without explicit approval. It's one of the most important policies companies have, especially in this industry.

Might as well ask how it would do with a Zalman CPU fan. Corsair is no yardstick in Water Cooling by ANY stretch of the imagination. What it is is decent consumer level WC, but we are talking enthusiast here which means real deal WC components.

Is this really a mystery? I'm pretty sure Apple hit the nail on the head.

For one thing every account that was hacked should have "registered" devices. Simply track the IPs of where those devices were registered and apps downloaded and you have a means to determine fraud from naught.

And THAT is the problem. All this "one click" bs. it's not about how many clicks it is to get to the function, it's about how easy it is to perform the task. Ribbons are a confusing mess (at least every one of Microsoft's are) so it makes finding functions a frustrating nightmare because they seem to live in a world of their own physics.

Any good strategist knows you can't just sit in a fortress and remain safe forever. The same applies here.

That's not to say I disagree with "improving" the security of vital systems (your statement "if they would just secure" implies they aren't, which of course is absurd, our systems are secure... are they secure enough is the question".)

Of course I'd suggest it's equally absurd to think that we aren't actively working to secure our networks.

Wild goose chase.... do you really think it's so far fetched that foreign powers would try to manipulate groups like this? if you do then you are either very ignorant, naive or being manipulated and you don't even realize it.

It does, however, lack Chrome's built-in Flash, PDF and audio players."

"also, it lacks support for html but we are working on it..."

Or they tend to be unsatisfied housewives.

How can you mark a post as "redundant" when it's the second post on the topic and the first post had nothing to do with it?

If you have mod points try paying more attention to timestamps.

I'd really like to know how Safari manages to be usable without requiring you to "confirm" your age every time you launch it.
