There Ain’t No Party Like a Microsoft ******* Party!

From Cabel’s Blog LOL via Daring Fireball, I bring you: Microsoft…After Dark.

Seriously. When are you guys going to fire everybody in marketing? The laptop hunter ads have been the only thing even halfway decent out of Redmond, and they basically say, “If you were rich and cool, you’d have an Apple. Windows: for lame, poor people.” The Microsoft Songsmith and Windows 7 marketing seem to have been done by a high school class for a project. And it wasn’t a top class, if you know what I mean.

Norman Borlaug, RIP

The father of the Green Revolution has died. It’s worth noting that by focusing on technology instead of politics, Norman Borlaug probably saved more lives than Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot snuffed out.

A single act of creation usually does more good than a thousand regulations enforced by ten thousand police or imposed by a million soldiers.
