DISQUS

If you look closely at this years pdc you will see a culture shift in Microsoft. Gone are the photoshoped demos, Azure and windows 7 demos were off of live bits, real working applications. They have also started to embrace Open source with the shipping JQuery with Asp.net and the MVC team publishing a portion of their frame work on codeplex. I think they are going to be a very relevant company for a long time.

Maybe we should send them the tab for this roller coaster ride.

that's cute, you couldn't use any thing with this license with silverlight.

I think your missing the fact that Jeff has his blog which he can and has leveraged as a PR device for stackoverflow.com.

Makes one wonder if Countrywide will prove to be to large a bite for BofA as well.

Its just like the DMV, when has the government ever dealt with any thing efficiently. Especial in the last 8ish years?

I guess I am not the only one that likes Hotmail more then Gmail.

@Ben, your argument is ridicules if you email the pic, the recipient could do what ever they wanted with it/post it where ever. With a link, you go back and remove it from the server.

Microsoft almost has a social graph with your email/messenger contacts.

Android still needs to be put on a phone that works on a cell network. Most of the cell providers don't seem to like open systems. Is that some how going to change?

Not all piggy back seconds where for 80/20 some were 80/10 or 80/15. Its still not a lot of down payment. But there was some.

I would argue that the American dream has always been the real ownership of property . Be that real estate or material goods.

I prefer Microsoft's One note. Its simple and easy to share.

I don't care about Google unless they are going to support their product, With a live person I can call. Maybe they will offer support when it comes out of beta in 10 years. Google seems to be announce many things but they haven't been finishing any of them lately.

We went to the moon to beat the Russians. It was just politics for Kennedy.

I have always had those types of issues with dell laptops.

Robert you can have an email account Robert@scobleizer.com hosted by Hotmail or Gmail(they do all the email for your domain name) all you need is access to your domains a record. I have used both. I highly recommended it. And both are free.

I was shocked to see it on BBC, treated as a full academic study. I tend to believe this facebook or myspace relation is less a direct link to class and more related to the individuals peer group.

It doesn't matter. If you read the blog and take their word as gospel.. We're adults we need to think for our selves, and take every thing we read and watch with a grain of skepticisms.

Its a social network for friends, If you want something else you can find a VC ;)

I have noticed very human and generic comments that get past my filter, if it was not for the broken English I might not even notice it.

I would rather see them solve a real problem like TrackBack spam. Those people steal to get higher Google results. At least PaidPerPost every one wins, except the searcher( but they lose anyway since search is based on links)

Were we live summer school is only for the students that did not pass a class. They have to be there during their "Summer" They don't make it a pleasant job.

Michael,
Is it competition that makes Private schools good if the fact they hand pick the students that attend? If you think its hard to remove a bad teacher from public school try to remove a bad student. Private school has no such trouble.

First 34(Speed) an hour is based off an 8 hour workday. And believe me, my wife is a teacher its an average of 16 hours a day.
Second you can fire teachers. There is a long process you have to follow. So school districts and principals tend not to do it.
Finally a principal is not a CEO that its utter insanity. they would be like a branch manager with almost no power. your district would represent the board of directors and the superintendent is CEO.
If you want to improve the system don't go after the grunt with no say and power. That is like evaluating Mcdonalds based on the cashier.

If you open Sells Brothers in IE 7 the feed icon lights right up. besides the fact He provided rss links at the top of his page.
