Wow. They really can't win, can they?

That's right. Neither can Charles Manson win.

Netscape icon

It makes be feel a bit sad looking at that Netscape icon and realising that Microsoft killed them. Netscape was a true pioneer and had so much potential, but I guess we have Google who fulfilled the great internet vision that Netscape failed to do.

MPL is a cancer

It contaminates all that work with that license with Microsoft disease.

Never trust that beast.

If you take them off the lead, they will go round biting everyone once again.

FAT & BLOAT

It seems that Microsoft own FAT and you can add BLOAT too.

Yes it is a good idea to be more healthy and thinner as it allows you to maneuver quicker. Using Microsoft tech will only slow everything down and it is an unnecessary expense.

Say no to FAT and BLOAT today.

Office won't run on the iPhone

Apple will need to create a new device if they want that BLOAT to run on an iPhone

Rumor has it that it will be called the iBrick and it will use FAT.

Record Companies are getting payback

When you abuse your power, when you suppress people, it is only a matter of time before you lose. If the record companies knew their history, they would know that they can't abuse people for too long before they get one up on ya.

Bugger

I use Chrome to get away from Microsoft crap and then Microsoft try and stitch their crap into my web experience. Go away!

A prototype

A prototype of buggy bloatware isn't worth anything. The thief will probably give it back.

People actually subscribe?

People actually subscribe to get buggy bloated Microsoft software?

Try Open Source, no subscription required and you get all the features all of the time.

Hi this is Steve Ballmer.

When I catch you (and I will) I will tie you up in my office and throw chairs at you all day. Then I will hand you over to Bill the next day, and he will force you to use Microsoft software for a day. That will teach you.

Irony

The irony here is that Linux will be mainstream as a client. It is called Android and will be the dominant OS for portable devices and Laptops too. That is my prediction.

Another reason for Chrome

Another reason for Chrome is that Google gets a window into the habits of web surfers which improves their AI and advertising. Microsoft and Apple have their own browsers and this gives them an advantage as they have an eye from the client end. So even if Google get 5% of the browser market it is enough to get valuable information on clients surfers habits and coupled with their other stats and information at the server end, they get a fuller picture of what is going on.

No way

Why waste our time with IE?. Microsoft should do that themselves.

Firefox is for the people and is open. IE is a proprietary bunch of slow bloat from the 90s.

Respect

A bloody genius.

Totall disagree

You are stuck in a 80s-90s paradigm.

The future is cloud services delivering to any device including mobiles.

Someone else will take the Linux Netbook market

If Asus drop the Linux Netbook market then the dumb @#$% are giving it to someone else. However, Microsoft may have paid them to lose that market.

At the end of the day, there is demand for Linux in Netbooks and someone will deliver it.

IE makes me feel bad

IE and Messenger feel like viruses to me. I hate them.

I get a warm fuzzy felling when I run Firefox and Google Talk.

The very word Microsoft to me represents evil, expensive, and virus ridden.

Funny how brands work.

Windows is a buggy platform

Another reason why Windos is declining. The idea of installing software on Windows is getting to be more of a joke as time passes.

Better off with a browser and to use web services such as Gmail and Google docs.

I fixed this problem

It has nothing to do with the database as someone in the comments said. It is a hack on the header.php and one other file (which I cannot remember) in Wordpress. I fixed the problem by making the header.php file non-writable and it stopped this attack in its tracks.

Skippyburger with chips thanks.

Kangaroo has little fat and the animals are very friendly to the top soil in that they don't loosen it like other livestock causing those dust storms they get from time to time. It all makes perfect sense, and it tasted good too. Superoo my order thanks.

insanity?

If insanity makes you billions of dollars then maybe normal is not ideal?

This story is for real.

It was on New Zealand news last night. Apparently it worked a treat.

People actually read the leaflet instead of just putting it in the trash and they published a photo of what the crim looks like without breaking the law.

I used the word Dell before they did.

Back in the 70s I ate this really nice meal and came up with the term Dell icious.

I'm thinking about legal action.

Did he get his money back?

Come on Steve give the guy his money back. After all he did buy an iphone and was duped by sort of trusting in the Apple brand.

Im one of those trolls

"For Ozzie, inventor of the hated Lotus Notes and now driving Microsoft's "software plus services" strategy, Microsoft will surpass the capabilities of Amazon, forcing even those hateful little trolls in the open source community to come to love its online services."

I am one of those trolls. Ha ha, and I will never learn to love a convicted and abusive monopolist, no matter what they do. You have to feel good about those you do business with or collaborate with, that is just common sense. The mere mention of Microsoft makes my blood boil.

I don't like to inflict pain on myself. I will stick with Open Source and Google too.

Imitators not innovators

<quote>Time to deploy demos to divert and confound financial analysts. Ballmer brought on lower-ranking executives to demonstrate changes in Live Search that add capabilities such as scrolling down an endless page of search results, rather than having to click through to a new page of results as you do with Google, </quote>

OH like Google's Picasa.

Wow, Microsoft are imitators, I mean innovators.

I think they sold their 50 million stock in Apple.

I think they sold their 50 million stock in Apple.

Android is Linux

With Google pushing Android into the market, that could make Linux the biggest mobile OS.

What is Faceboook

Hammerbacher is now reported to have become the latest Faceboook employee to have served his notice. Can we expect this Facebook youf to show up in well-remunerated style at Redmond this Fall?

"Faceboook"

"youf"

?

:)

Google

Go Google. Microsoft has tripped up.

Die die die

SCO away.

Vista?

That was the one after DOS wasn't it?

ISO appear to be corrupt

ISO appears to be corrupt. Why else would they support a convicted monopolists file formats as a standard. The point of a standard is that all can use it, but Microsoft have a history of extorting large sums of cash to use their api's and barring others from using their file formats.

ODF is a great file format and anyone can use it. Why make Microsoft's impossible file formats a standard?

Maybe ISO is open to cash payments? I wouldn't be surprised. Very suspicious behavior.

It is obvious that Google has invented a time machine

That is why they have jumped the gun on everyone else and why Microsoft can't compete with them.

The cloud is fuzzy

Microsoft need to wait for the successes of Google and others to know what to copy next. For now, their idea of a cloud is a fluffy white fuzzy thing in the sky.

Google to distribute Linux

Google will distribute Linux (Android) to the masses on mobiles and laptops. This is exactly what needs to happen to top Microsoft.

MS software for rent

MS software for rent and the viruses come free. Wow what a deal.

I was aressted in Colombia for these photos

I was arrested in Colombia for ttaking photos. I managed tried to defend myself in English to this guard who could only speak spanish. Finally I thought the guard who arrested me let me go, I said "thanks senor", and walked off into the sunset. Later my wife later told me that I misunderstood him and he wasn't letting me go at all. But the guard didn't come after me, so I guess he just wanted to forget about his encounter with a dumb tourist.

Here are the so-called sensitive pics:

http://www.virtualamericas.net/colombia/photos/cities/bogota/ciudadsalitre/

The one on the bridge is where I was arrested.

al Qaeda has a front company

al Qaeda created a company called Google to photograph the world and get away with it. Once they have the photos, they are planning on folding up Google as it will no longer be useful.

The police need to arrest everyone at Google because they are terrorists.

Go the Police and don't forget that half the public are terrorists too, they have cameras in their cellphones.

This is not paranoia, just prevention.

Linux

Rackable may have lots of Linux customers.

Maybe Microsoft doesn't want to support them.

Maybe Microsoft doesn't want to be that efficient and instead prefer to use bloated Vista and the extra power and hardware needed to run it.

Hell who cares about Microsoft anyway. They are late to the game and are now a has-been.

Open Source isn't the issue

>>It's one thing to support open source. It's another thing to demand that anything not open source be banned and boycotted.

It's not that open source is the only option, but that Microsoft a convicted monopolist is playing everyone again as usual. They prey on the IT illiterate and that is why Open Sources are complaining, because they are the literate ones.

In other words we failed the Web.

So MIcrosoft is getting into TV advertising.

Translation: We failed on the Web, that is Googles, and TV is looking like a device that we can get market share, with Xbox and all.

You can mess with my PC but...

You can mess with my PC but please not the coffee machine.

The future is not looking bright.
