Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that that form of clean energy fell out of favor with the hippie set because it keeps the salmon from spawning or some shit.

Apple perfects new scent. "It smells [cough] wonderful!!!" report dying Apple fans. "It smells like Chlorine Gas," report PC fans.
Doesn't matter. It's ALL *OUR* TURF!!!
My country's dick is so fucking big that we can have entire continents close off their airspace! Jesus, I want to snort a mountain of coke and fuck my wife's sister!!!
Meanwhile, the kid who outed this lying piece of shit is being hunted down like a dog--all while the U.S. press continues to cheerlead for the government.
I wonder if the IRS will start to accept "I misspoke. I unwittingly made an error." on audits in the future.
Yes, there is nothing us app developers hate more than a stable, long-term OS that isn't constantly being upgraded to some new damn dessert. Must really suck to develop for a platform that not only has completely standardized hardware, but on has the same set of features for years.
Hey, it's not fair to compare Don Mattrick to a dot matrix printer! At least the printer can still serve a useful purpose.
Or maybe Mattrick was a scapegoat and was doing what he was told to do.
That might be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that Mattrick was in charge of the Xbox division and answered only to Steve Ballmer (who doesn't have a rep of micromanaging).
No, Mattrick's many mistakes were Mattrick's and no one else's.
I suspect the scene ended more along the lines of Ballmer throwing a chair at Mattrick and screaming "Get the fuck out and never come back, you piece of shit!"
It's kind of difficult to do that when the executives tell you that the point of the new product is to take a huge dump on the customer base and your job is to make sure they like it that way.
Yeah, except that Don Mattrick *WAS* that executive. He was the head of the Xbox division, not some low-level PR flunky. The only one he took orders from was Steve Ballmer. The decision to dump on the Xbox consumer base was all his.
Where are the reliable rockets coming and going like London buses?
Good news, everyone! The rockets you seek are on Futurama.
Bad news, everyone! It just got cancelled.
He and Zynga are a perfect match. No one would give a shit if either failed.
Yeah, and you don't want that launch clouded by having the prick who told the military and hardcore fans to go screw themselves still at the helm. He had to go.
More likely that Balmer kicked Mattrick's ass out the door (with a chair thrown after him for good measure), then took personal command of the sinking ship in an effort to right it. Whether Ballmer himself is the right man for the job is debatable, but he could hardly do much worse.
