I found this to funny for words

mitch @ 6:30 pm on August 14, 2007

Sorry, but I had to. I know not all of you that may look at/read my website would agree with me on my own opinions, but I’ve grown really tired for the religiously motivated Neo-Cons in this country and I like to point out their own hypocrisy whenever I can.

Which sports car are you?

mitch @ 8:56 am on September 6, 2006

I’m a Porsche 911!

You have a classic style, but you’re up-to-date with the latest technology. You’re ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige – you’re one of the elite,and you know it.
Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

It also happens to be that:
I’m a Talent!

You’re a risk-taker, and you follow your passions. You’re determined to take on the world and succeed on your own terms. Whether in the arts, science, engineering, business, or politics, you fearlessly express your own vision of the world. You’re not afraid of a fight, and you’re not afraid to bet your future on your own abilities. If you find a job boring or stifling, you’re already preparing your resume. You believe in doing what you love, and you’re not willing to settle for an ordinary life.

Talent: 49%

Lifer: 49%

Mandarin: 46%

Take the Talent, Lifer, or Mandarin quiz.
Sorry for the personality quizes, but I thought they were amusing

*Microsoft says* Windows is growing faster than Linux in China?

mitch @ 1:59 pm on September 8, 2005

I’m sorry, but I’m laughing about this one… I mean this is like the age old “Pot calling the kettle black”. I mean… The purpose of this is nothing more than to trump their own horn. Make people more optimistic about their situation in China. After all, this is the only source Microsoft has left to grow into… (Along with India… but they’ve fought that battle already… and lost) The article is up on zdnet.co.uk. Funny stuff I tell ya. I laughed through the whole article.

Heres a couple quotes… I think they speak for themselves:

“I think Linux in China really has an issue with their business model,” said Tim Chen, the chief executive of Microsoft China, in an interview with The Seattle Times this week. “The Chinese [Linux] companies, are not making money,” he said.

Interesting… really? The chineese government doesn’t think so… in fact, they rather like the fact that the money they spend on Linux in China, *stays* in China. The also don’t like enabling foreign powers to control how they use software, which is why they regulated the use of foreign software.

Chen also claimed that the growth rate of Windows on the server was faster than that of the open source operating system and that young people in China “really adore” Bill Gates, the founder and president of Microsoft.

…. I’m speachless… What the crap is this? I know quite a few Microsoft geeks, and I couldn’t say any of them “really adore” Bill Gates…

Refering to the latest group of Microsoft defectee’s:

“Actually that’s exciting. We’re being viewed as the company that has the best talent in China,” said Chen.

Interesting point of view… However I would have phrased it more like “We’re being viewed as the company that *had* the best talent in China”. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Anyway, I thought it was so funny I had to share.

Ballmer thows temper tantrum

mitch @ 2:11 pm on September 6, 2005

In a recent unsealing of a court document in the Microsoft vs. Google lawsuit(I mean who isn’t in a law suite against microsoft?), over the hiring of Kai-Fu Lee. In a swarn statement made by Mark Lucovsky, Ballmer is being accused of threatening employees not to leave for Google. Heres the quote:

“At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office,” Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. “I’m going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to f***ing kill Google.”

Now… I’ve never been found of Microsoft, nor have I ever been impressed by Steve Ballmer as a person with character. This, however, is not a display that should *EVER* be presented in front of employee’s… no matter who you are. I can understand the fact that hes upset…(he probably feels that way alot lately…) but to start acting like this in front of an employee that is leaving for another company. (the fact that he despises Google is beside the point) Is very unprofessional. In a statement issued by Ballmer about the incident:

“Mark Lucovsky’s account of our conversation last November is a gross exaggeration of what actually took place,” Ballmer said. “Mark’s decision to leave was disappointing and I urged him strongly to change his mind. But his characterization of that meeting is not accurate.”

Which it might be, though it might not as well. Since it is Ballmer that has the most at risk if it is true. Also notice the wording, he doesn’t specifically deny throwing the chair or having a tantrum… I’ll let you make your own conclusion however.
