Posted by: Joshua In: Humor

I have no idea how I missed this the first time around, but having watched this hilarious ad/trailer from Microsoft I chuckled more than a little bit.  Kudos for the madness expressed at Wingdings- check it out!

Microsoft’s Retail Store Looks…Familiar

Posted by: Joshua In: Humor|Technology

So Microsoft’s retail stores launched recently and I can’t quite place my finger on it, but it almost feels like I’ve already been to one somehow.  It’s eerie really, like deja vu almost.  I mean, I don’t know how that’d be possible considering I’ve never, ever stepped foot in a store with expansive areas of [...]

Microsoft: Is the End Near?

Posted by: Nicole In: Technology

It sounds like blasphemy to even utter those words in the same sentence. Microsoft? Ending? But how?! But since  Apple’s boisterous return in 1997 and Google’s overwhelming popularity over the last decade, it seems those two companies keep spitting out nothing but success while Microsoft is stuck in third gear.
