Tough crowd in here. If MS survival came down to Slashdot population it would be out of business in 30 seconds.

How come Mac sales keep increasing quarter after quarter if software is running just "fine" on older hardware? People want to be delighted and Microsoft has awoken to that with Surface Pro 4 & Surface Book.

These virtual keyboards are for thin-fingered meth addicts.

How do big-fingered people use the virtual keyboard genius? What is the iPhone only for ultra-petite women?

Just because selling the phones will be a new profit engine all by itself, they won't want to outrage users by bombarding them with Google Ads. Stop the nonsense.

Hey I'm a Microsoftie, but I've been using Chrome for months now and it's the best from a performance standpoint and the UI is nothing but clean. Sure it doesn't have a plug-in architecture that I'm aware of, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You can host Silverlight apps if you want a rich UI experience.

No kidding. I was tired of Firefox bloat and I haven't looked back! I only use Firefox for Netflix instant viewing since they haven't implemented Silverlight to work inside Chrome. Which is really strange because I've gotten my own Silverlight apps working inside Chrome no problem.

Steve Ballmer is sweating bullets right now.

Yeah. I learn much better now at 32 then I did 15 years ago. Even though my information processing speed might be less, other factors increase overall retention.

1. knowing the theories and technologies 2. being able to communicate your ideas effectively to your team If you fail at either of these you don't belong in any company. Josh fails at #2.

Apple fan-bois routinely tell me that Apple is on the "bleeding edge" of innovation at all times and no one else is compared to them. I guess it's mostly marketing hype. I mean heck, when I was shopping for an MP3 player I looked at the iPod Nano and saw what they were charging for accessories like battery chargers and slipcases. Apple has always marked up their products like 500%.

Well geez that's new. I'm usually accused of being a neoconservative. Now I get to be all kinds.

Ever heard of ipconfig? You can do all Windows administration in the CLI if you have the skills to do so. There is no excuse.

Implying that if only we gave more money to the universities, that would put otherwise criminal elements into the hi-tech sector. Might as well believe in the invisible pink unicorn.
