They should focus on their core competency: software. Expand existing business-oriented product-lines to iOS, Android, and Linux, in addition to Windows. There-in lies the revenue. Trying to compete with entrenched hardware manufacturers like Sony and Samsung is a loser's game.
As a result of a perceived increase in pit bull injuries, all children who presented to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia during 1989 for evaluation of dog bite injuries were prospectively studied...Significantly more pit bull injuries (94% vs 43%, P http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/88/1/55.short
Student Presidents of large public universities draw salary, typically between $15,000 and $30,000 annually. They are employed by the state. The payroll check comes from the state of California. That makes this crime more than "nothing".
Loading "Pirate Adventure" onto an Atari 800 from a cassette drive in 1980 was neither quick nor instantaneous. Plugging in the Star Raiders ROM, on the other hand, was.
It seems like this will compete for the Wii / casual gamer crowd (or Apple TV), especially if it isn't restricted to just games but allows any Windows 8 apps to run.
A good friend of mine wound up with an aerospace engineering degree from Auburn ('88). He wound up programming at a.com in the 90s and cashed in his options around '98 (a couple million). He still works (software development) on projects that interest him but at his own pace and when he wants too. I find that people tend pigeonhole science and engineering degrees too much. I'm a geologist but I've managed projects, coded (exclusively) back in the 90s, worked as a geographer/GIS analyst/cartographer, worked in labs, worked in the field, SCUBA dive (for work), and have supervised subordinates and subcontractors. Studying a STEM field prepares you for a myriad of future options, especially if you prepare by taking a few classes outside your immediate major (e.g. a couple extra chemistry, programming, language, accounting, or statistics classes if you normally aren't expected to). I took a bunch of programming, logic, and business classes in addition to my geology curriculum...definitely paid off for me. Studying "difficult" STEM subjects instills discipline, builds confidence, teaches problem-solving, hones critical-thinking skills, and prepares you for an amorphous future.
If you read the article, you will find that "NASA's Curiosity rover is poised to settle the question as early as this week." No findings have been released as no data has been acquired (at least nothing acknowledged in the article). In any case, the presence of methane is of less interest than the concentration; it is found in interstellar space http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1991ApJ...376..556L
I read the article and it sounds like this guy is debugging and QCing by submission. He sounds like a sloppy programmer. Microsoft rejected his app and gave him the technical reasons why. He failed two more resubmissions. The first two comments on his blog sum it up nicely:
"We had the opposite experience. We ported a complex WP7 XNA game to Windows 8. We got invited to the App Excellence Lab. We won an early access token. We submitted to the store in July and passed on the first try. To date we've submitted to the store 3 times and passed all three times."
"Makes me wonder if his code is very inefficient"
Personally, I'm glad they are rejecting apps that don't work or perform as required.
Buy two baseball gloves and a ball. Give him one glove. Throw the ball back and forth with him. He will probably appreciate and remember that more as an adult than programming books.
Hold it, hold it. Why build? You're better off leasing at a buck and a quarter, a buck and a half a square foot. Take your down payment and put it into CDs or something else you can roll over every couple of months.

Geologist have though of this too.

Psychohistory: It's pretty much sociology with some regressions thrown in, isn't it?

Or maybe Pit Bulls are just more dangerous:

The high muzzle velocity (nearly 1000 m/s) is what contributes most to the lethality.
Rockefeller and his blasted oil wells are threatening the survival of my horse-fodder supply store! I'm calling my solicitor!
China and the US have similar reserves of coal (about a quarter of the world's supply each.) Coal is a PITA to transport compared to natural gas (weight vs. energy). There's lot's of natural gas in the Arctic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_exploration_in_the_Arctic, which is probably why China is building icebreakers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Xue_Long. When their second one is built, they will have as many active as the U.S., which *is* an Arctic nation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Council with corresponding mineral rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Convention_on_the_Law_of_the_Sea.

Why not? Microsoft is a *software* company at its core.
Of course. At least until the priests of the temple of Syrinx take over a week later.

Pretty much every government is in debt to one degree or another. Who controls the money supply? The governments.
Dilution is the solution.

Well, for starters all the charts and figures have been omitted from the pdf. Makes it kind of hard to trust/verify what he says.
The chain of command and rank structure takes care of decision making. Someone is always in charge, even if it is the last person standing.
