Nice pair of Sennheiser Momentum, John ;) - Nir Ben Yona
GoodNotes on the iPad - betya can't do this stuff in Word - http://www.ianwaring.com/2014... - Ian Waring

Microsoft should just give up... 10 years from now and they will be the next RIMM - Jerry Schuman
Its too bad Microsoft didn't try something new on the IPAD. They could go back the days of being a great software company, and blow us away with something we didn't expect. - Michael Roberts
Microsoft agreeing Android/Chrome Royalties with Dell - US ANtitrust authorities still asleep - Ian Waring

lol, like Microsoft doesn't copy (oops I meant steal) ideas - Jerry Schuman
Is Robert in a Microsoft coma - Moe Glitz
google base wasn't an ebay killer, it was a way to get spammers to give them data directly without crawling - Kevin Marks
I sit on a school board and a PTA in Brooklyn. Everyone is shifting to Google Docs, lead by parents. - Rob Underwood
Google Base was a way of feeding a product catalogue into Googles index - Ian Waring
In developing countries people would push open office, but a lot of people wanted to learn Microsoft Office because that's what they needed to know to get a job. Most people under 30 I find use Google docs and work virtually etc. The skill they need is knowing how to use Google Docs. - Michael Roberts
Moe - I think so - Tina Chase Gillmor
When Googlebase was launched, the eBay killer tag was mentioned. - Moe Glitz
MSFT seemed to be pitching their Cloud mostly to paranoid enterprise IT professionals – "the heroes," as Nadella said during the press conference. - Alex de Soto

Oculus have hired Michael Abreash away from Valve - Ian Waring
The endgame: No one knows what version of Office exists, which link is the "tablet" version, how it should be licensed, or whether it supports your needs. Classic Microsoft. - Kevin Costain
