Microsoft ain’t #1 no more

It just makes sense. See, MS Office has been Microsoft’s big money making monster for years, a collection of bloated elephantine over-featured over-done software which everybody used or had to use. Microsoft therefore has to support the concept of individual installations (and licenses) of software on individual machines – the foundation of their business.

But here came the concept of ‘software as a service’, delivering software on the web, and Microsoft had a choice, either go with that, or defend it’s chosen foundation to the hilt, and now we know it did that – to it’s detriment.

what is wrong in this picture?

Truth is, I’ve known that Smart’s MMS blogging service has been showing porn for quite a while now, I actually think such things are pretty much the norm nowadays. Whether it’s Friendster, MySpace, Blogspot, or using MMS, SMS, HTTP, or whatever, porn will always prevail. Goodness, if you can setup a prepaid for adults only ISP service offering downloadable porn for free (one of my our ideas way back), you can get cash registers a-ringing for sure!

Doom – the best video game to movie adaptation ever?

Which brings me to this point, where I will sadly bewail the other end of the spectrum, the worst video game to movie adaptaion imho, Tomb Raider, which for the most part I wouldn’t mind at all, I mean a sucky movie’s just a sucky movie, except for one thing – you will probably not find a bigger fan of Lara Croft than me.

It was a pioneering first person game to begin with, but the characters absolute lack of fear and ‘astig’ factor just blew me away. As far as the first version Lara is concerned, she had no room for fancy gadgets, relying on deft skill, smarts, and dexterity. As long Lara had her pistols, all was good.

What’s to gain from becoming #1?

Maybe it’s just me. I still think of blogs as nothing more than a blank piece of paper on which one would write his thoughts and to hell what anyone else would think or do about it. At this very moment, that is in fact what I’m doing. I’ve an opinion, I use Microsoft’s Notepad to write it down, after which I’ll log onto my wordpress blog, paste it on there, edit a related pic or two on Photoshop to enhance it, publish, sit back and appreciate what I have done, then go back to work. Blogging is just writing. Plain and simple.

Michael Dell wants YOU

And it leads me to wanna say to all of the other IT companies out there hiring Pinoy Callcenter folks, HP, Yahoo, etc. – is doing something like that so hard? I mean show a little love why dontcha?! Take a cue from Mr. Dell and make a quick video, a nice personalized invite, get a page ad done especially for Pinoys instead of the generic one you’ve prepared for the “Asian” market, and you just actually might get some quality call center people who’d really wanna work for you, instead of the rigodon that I hear’s been going on in the industry, where people just apply and move on within a few months to the next big hirer.
