Microsoft Using .MS TLD
mqudsi writes "Microsoft is using the .MS top-level domain, assigned to the Caribbean island of Montserrat, for its Web 2.0-flavored Popfly project. You can get your own .MS name if you really want to — there are no restrictions on foreign ownership — at $180 US for 2 years. As of this writing microsoft.ms is available." In an obliquely related note, TechBlorge has up a rumination on the resemblance of the Popfly logo to Tux.
Dear PC users,
It's no secret iTunes turned to shit as soon as Apple had to begin catering to you cavedwellers. It was version 4.1, if memory serves, around the time they let you into the music store. The demand for PC compatibility is the major reason iTunes is still a Carbon app, insiders say, when every other iApp has since been rewritten in Cocoa to behave like a decent Mac application.
Frankly, we think Apple should rescind PC compatibility from the iPod. Only when the last PC user is forced from our platform shall we again enjoy freedom from their tasteless, backwards demands.
Sincerely,
The Mac community
everything under MS is misleading the consumer into beliveing it's associated with microsfot al la lindows
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
Dear Mac users,
It's no secret the mouse turned to shit as soon as Microsoft had to begin catering to you cavedwellers. It was version 4.1, if memory serves, around the time they let you dright click. The demand for Mac compatibility is the major reason the mouse is still a legacy periph, insiders say, when every other peripheral has since been rewritten in USB 2.0 to behave like a decent PC peripheral.
Frankly, we think Microsoft should rescind Mac compatibility from the mouse. Only when the last Mac user is forced from our peripherals shall we again enjoy freedom from their tasteless, backwards demands.
Sincerely,
The PC community
We're all going to die. i intend to deserve it.
