What a Shock! The Tech Press Got Caught Hating Microsoft.

February 23rd, 2010 Stu No comments

image I am in utter shock that InfoWorld has been caught with their pants down. Apparently Randall Kennedy, a paid writer for InfoWorld, is Craig Barth the CTO of Devil Mountain Software.

Wait… No I am not shocked that this happened. Since the tech media essentially has the story written on Microsoft and just waits for something to fit that mold to publish it. All you have to do is read virtually any story on Microsoft by the tech press to see what I mean; like a story at Computer World today “Google search share slips in China, Bing tiny in 2009”. Really a shock since Bing has only been trying to compete for the last year in China.

Windows Phone 7

February 15th, 2010 Stu No comments

So Microsoft announced Windows Mobile Phone 7 today. Looks great and since I really like the Zune UI, this should be a great experience. I have been holding off getting the Zune HD because I wanted to see if it was going to survive or not and WinPh7 (is that a good acronym?) is taking the Zune UI and placing a phone and whole host of other services with it.

I think it looks great and is a game changing moving from Microsoft, which was needed. Good job MS.

Check out the Official Website for Windows Phone 7.

  • Studying, Olympics, more studying and waiting to find out how much snow falls tonight and tomorrow. Back to the grind tomorrow. #
  • #Microsoft Love how much has been simplified in .NET. So much has been pre-built, that it really makes coding much easier. Great work MS! #
  • I made a good effort to catch up on work today. I am maybe just a day behind now… Nice to be busy though, last year was horrible. #

  • The "?" to access code snipits in VS2008 is very cool! I love learning something new! #
  • Let it snow, let it snow… I love watching snow. Much more than doing my homework. ;-) #

  • I so enjoyed the pretty snow in Chicago this morning… until I had to drive to my customer. The 30 minute commute became 90 minutes. #
