MSNBC - Genetic mutation turns tot into superboy |
"Not yet 5, he can hold seven-pound weights with arms extended, something many adults cannot do. He has muscles twice the size of other kids his age and half their body fat. DNA testing showed why: The boy has a genetic mutation that boosts muscle growth." |
MercuryNews.com | 06/23/2004 | Microsoft to increase Hotmail storage, add virus protection |
Blake Irving must be one very uninformed person at MSN (or his nose grew alot while he was talking) if he thinks that users were happy about the 2MB limit - which was a reduction from the initial Hotmail storage limits. "Our users haven't cared about storage and we just wanted to take it off the table,'' he said." |

LA Times: Outsourcing Ax Falls Hard on Tech Workers |
This is a great advertisement for Agilent. NOT! This harsh treatment of long-time workers will come back to haunt them. Their reputation will become tarnished. People will talk, this will lead to people avoiding employment at Agilent, and then customers will start to go elsewhere.

Computerworld | Preview: Visual Studio 2005 |
The writer writes about the pros and cons of Visual Studio 2005 (aka Whidbey) and Visual Studio Team. VS Team is the first Developer division attempt at a complete life-cycle solution. I wonder if the VS team uses VS Team for their work? I doubt any mid-to-large division at MS is using VS Team. That's always been one of the problems the Developer Division has had. Their target audience doesn't seem to include the developers in the same company, their target seems to be the developer in a department of a corporation. I hope morale has improved in the Developer Division since VS.Net first shpped two years ago. It'd be hard to believe if it's gotten worse. |
