Robbie Bach on “Act II†after Microsoft
CeceliaMosley19 Latest News, Microsoft, Windows 7, Windows 8 australia, internet, metrotwit, microsoft, nokia, robbie-bach, windows, windows-phoneAt an Microsoft Alumni Foundation event recently, former President of Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Division, Robbie Bach took to the stage to explain what he has been doing after leaving Microsoft at end of 2010. Even though the story he tells of his path to discovering the meaning of giving through charity and philanthropy is respectfully important, he made short reflection on his 22 years at the company which included a fun and honest quip about the short-lived product that no one talks about now.

Microsoft’s private-cloud utopian future: hover chairs, jetboots and flower-caring robots
Nora19Kennedy Latest News, Microsoft, Windows 7, Windows 8 australia, canada, image, internet, istartedsomething, microsoft, music, nokia, skype, speedo-plus, windows, Windows 7, windows 8, windows-phoneCompared to the more grounded Productivity Vision videos , these ads for Microsoft’s private cloud solutions are definitely a bit of a stretch in the Utopian sci-fi direction.

Bill Gates interviews in Australia
JosiePotter28 Latest News, Microsoft, Windows 7, Windows 8 australia, canada, ericsson-xperia, istartedsomething, metrotwit, microsoft, nokia, weather, windows, windows 8I’m both glad and worries Bill Gates still has some time to do interviews while he’s on Christmas holiday in Australia, but the weather in Sydney where he’s staying hasn’t been very Summer-like so I guess he’s just passing time. In contrast to the Fairfax interview where he was asked whether he would return to Microsoft, here’s a 12-minute video of one he did with ABC News where he focused entirely on his philanthropic work, health issues, energy, carbon pricing (where Australia recently introduced law for this) and even global protests.

Microsoft contest: We don’t want your crappy Windows 8 apps from Australia
MerelSroczynski560 Latest News, Microsoft, Windows 7, Windows 8 2011-at-428-pm, crappy, istartedsomething, metrotwit, microsoft, nokia, windows 8, windows-phoneFor a contest where the submissions must be in English, I’m really glad countries where English is not the official language takes precedence. Update: To be fair, the English and Canadians get shafted too (but they got Zune much earlier so less of an issue). New Zealanders should delay the release of The Hobbit in the US in protest.
