On: Why Microsoft's Zune Scares Apple to the Core

zune is pronounced exactly the same as the dutch word for 'kiss'
but m$ doesn't seem to understand the KISS-principle, the ipod does

M$ tactics say:
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
but it seems they made it:
Embrace, Zune, Extend, Extinguish

you may start laughing now...

Re:Captain to leave the ship?

On: Bill Gates to Step Down from Microsoft

funny, this was also my first thought

windows is microsofts main flagship
(and Gates is still chief software architect of microsoft and thus of windows, iirc)
apparently that flagship seems to be sinking
than i remembered a saying in sailing:
"the captain is always the last person to leave a sinking ship"

instead, Gates is planning to 'leave' now...
which comes first: the sinking or the leaving ?
