News: Microsoft video game banned for sex scene Source:
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews....NGAPORE-BAN.xml What do you think about that, a
Microsoft video game banned for sex scene, in Singapore, i guess this must be an humiliation, and
the fact that it is the first it happened to the giant company Microsoft makes it even more hard to
digest for the Microsoft and for all the people involved on the creation of the Microsoft game,
namely, "Mass Effect" which is a highly anticipated futuristic space adventure game, a cool game in
my opinion by the way. I care ...

http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9880256-7...amp;tag=nl.e703 I wonder why no one posted this
before... The EU's latest action against Microsoft for violating antitrust sanctions has
amounted to 899,000,000 € (or about $1.35 billion). CNET has a poll based on this, and
about 56% of people voted for "too little". I voted on that myself. I think the EU should have taken
initiative for the US and Canada and raised it to 1.4 bn€ (billion euros), in my opnion.
Microsoft has been violating people's privacy and trust for too long. Even Zune and iPod...

First off I am shocked that no one posted this already because the tech world is screaming all over
the place about this. Microsoft has put out a huge bid to purchase Yahoo and of course everyone is
looking at possibly the biggest merger since peanut butter and chocolate. Of course the United
States and the European Union is looking at all the angels just to say what could happen if Yahoo
accepts this offer, and that being the google threat that has taken nearly everything from Microsoft
and Yahoo. Of course one of the big things is that Yahoo is losing its steam, a...

***waits for everyone to recover from the shock** I have to say that is pretty big news and I smell
some big stock jumping in the tech industry on that. We all remember that last year Microsoft was
ready to go to war by suing anyone associated with Linux, and of course their war with the EU on the
use of open source software. So what are their plans well first they are going to provide over
30,000 files related to their software, or more specifically Windows client and server to the MSDN
group, and they will no longer try to sue the open source community. They will a...

Although this would go to the other forum I have to say this is shocking news in the browser wars
since right now only Opera can render the Acid test successfully. Right now firefox hasn't been
able to meet that success yet nor has IE 6 or IE 7, and so if the IE 8 teams claims are true then in
2008 IE could make a comeback in the web standards war and the browsers wars. I watch the video
briefly and I have a funny feeling though they have set up the code in such a way that it cheats the
acid test because they broke down the code to the acid test and then they menti...

now this is what you call innovation for me, it is the first useful thing that microsoft has done
so far imagine being able to convert a tabletop into a supercomputer (slight exaggeration) . most
importantly, one which you can control enitrely by touch!!! this is what microsoft have
done - and i am at a loss for words i don't think i could explain this any better literally -
watch the videos to find out yourself. links:

Well now this should be for some good reading before bed /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"
emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I just caught this article and I have to say AHAHAHA.
Microsoft gave it's 6 month report about how well vista did in the first 6 months of going on
the market. So far Vista has had 4 patches to fix some high and medium end vulnerabilities that
came out, although a few weeks ago I remember an article saying one guy found 10 exploits himself,
but no patch has been made for it yet. Of course when they compared vista to Window...

Well now this should be a interesting tidbit from everyone across the world, its seems microsoft
will be launching a new data centers the size of seven soccer fields worth of servers whichthe
article says is about in the "tens of thousands" region. The reason to be able compete with google
and yahoo, but what is interesting is the costs which is low especially since you running that many
servers at the same time and they mention that the whole build will go through 48 megawatts of
electricity. Of course they don't mention a day a week or a month, but I do believe i...

Source Microsoft claims that Linux, the free operating system, is violating over 200 of their
patents. This is the silliest thing. If Microsoft wins, Linux may no longer exist. Open-source
software as we know it will no longer exist. This is the silliest thing i have ever seen Microsoft
try to do—i can't stress this enough. I believe in open-source. Some people, even though
there may be an open-source alternative, will still choose to buy commercial software, so there
shouldn't be a problem. As far as i'm concerned, Microsoft is just money hungry. I,...

I thought this was a bit interesting since this could affect prices for all hosting plans. The
owners of the .com and .net domain plan to increase the price tag for those domains to $6.42,
for .com and $3.85 for .net domains. they do mention that this will only affect those getting
a new domain and renewal. However, people can still use the old price tag till Oct 14 and then on
from Oct 15 on they will pay the new prices. The reason for the increase of course is to cover the
cost of hacker attacks and the number of queries they recieve. It is aso mention t...

Well it seems Microsoft have been in the news a lot lately, first with vista being introduce, ani
file hack, it's war on open source and of course the big secret meeting between them and yahoo.
Well today they just dropped $6 billion dollars in cash for a online ad agency, which is the
most money Microsoft has ever spent to date when purchasing a company. Of course their reason for
this purchase is of course to boost MSN search engine use and of course get their slice of the
online advertisement pie. After google scored a deal with double click last month. S...

Since yesterday one of the biggest stories to hit the tech world since the discovery of the
microchip has been floating around since the first two reports about it have been made public.
Those reports well simple rumors are spreading that Microsoft and Yahoo could merge and create one
of the biggest mergers of all time and actually threaten google dominance in the tech world. when
the markets closed yesterday yahoo was worth about 48 billion and Microsoft a whopping $300
billion and so the rumor price would be that Microsoft would drop $50 billion on this lit...
