Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-another-boring-sunday dept.

SirClicksalot writes "CNN is reporting that Vic Gundotra, a 15-year veteran general manager at Microsoft, has left the company to join Google. Gundotra worked at Microsoft as general manager for platform evangelism to get software developers to use Microsoft's software and online offerings. The function he will perform at Google is not yet known, but he will need to wait one year before starting his new job because of a non-compete clause in his contract."

    And you get modded "redundant" on first post.

    Do you get a free mind scrambler with mod points these days? Perhaps a strong electric shock?

    the same is achieved if insightful and interesting posts get pushed up to 5, then setting the threshold to 5 or 4 will actually be useful. Who cares if racist fools and the "OMG Vista is teh suxxors!!!111!!!" or "OMG Linux suxxors!!!!1111!!!!!" is left at 1 or 0, since setting the threshold to 4 or 5 will block them out ANYHOW? We don't need such a wide dynamic range if the great posts are pushed up above the threshold.
