 published: 2008-09-06Microsoft Sort Of Copying Apple Genius Bar Microsoft should just stop going to toe to toe with Apple. Each time they go and “copy” a Cupertino idea it fails miserably. Microsoft can’t compete on the commercial front, even though the Mac vs PC ads are starting to get stale. Now Microsoft is looking to combat the Apple Genius’ with some Microsoft Gurus.   published: 2008-07-31Microsoft Not Setting A Firm Release Date For 60GB Xbox 360 Microsoft claims that there is no actual “street date” for the new 60GB Xbox 360. It’ll just seep into retail channels and you’ll see it…whenever. I know MS has long had a stance that when they upgrade their current console it isn’t a big release event, and thus no thought is given to a release date.  published: 2008-07-24Gears Of War 2 Collectibles, Comics, Novels And Giveaways At Comic Con At this years San Diego Comic-Con fans will get a chance to get the latest details on the DC comic based on the game series, as well as some fancy new collectibles. It’s a veritable treasure trove of grunty man phrases being uttered throughout the Microsoft and DC Comics booths when Cliff Bleszinski brings along Marcus Fenix and the Cole Train.  published: 2008-06-12AMD And NVIDIA Go Their Own Way With USB 3.0 Here comes AMD and NVIDIA to ruin my celebration of the format war’s end. The two computer hardware manufacturers have decided they are tired of waiting for the USB Implementers Forum (founded by Intel in 1995 with Microsoft, HP, Texas Instruments, NEC and NXP Semiconductors) to give them the specs on USB 3.0, so they are launching a competing spec.  published: 2008-05-28First Windows 7 Details At All Things Digital Windows 7 (or Vista redux if you prefer) has been unveiled at All Things Digital and it looks like Surface is making the transition to home PC. At least the multi-touch integration of Windows 7 appears to be pulling from a lot of the work the Surface team has done.  published: 2008-05-24Surface Creator Moves On To LaserTouch Microsoft Research has already developed a replacement to the yet commercially unreleased Surface. OK, so LaserTouch is currently just a prototype with absolutely no plans to bring it to market.  published: 2008-05-20Bill Gates Appears As A Hologram Bill Gates may no longer be in charge of Microsoft, but his plans to build a Galactic Empire are in full swing. Gates spoke at the World Congress of Information 2008 in Kuala Lumpur, but he wasn’t there. No, Mr. Gates appeared as a 15.1 foot holographic projection.

Micrsoft Denies Blu-ray Capable Xbox 360...Again It’s come to the point with the Xbox 360 with Blu-ray fiasco that I’ll only believe it when I can walk into a store and purchase one. Even an official confirmation from Microsoft might not persuade me it is real.  published: 2008-04-05Microsoft Is Not Messing Around Yahoo Microsoft is taking the gloves off. They are tired of Yahoo not playing fair and accepting the $44.6 billion bid to buy the company, so they’re taking the issue to the fans. Or er…the shareholders.  published: 2008-03-25Netflix Inquiring About Xbox LIVE There’s no word on how the service would work with Marketplace. LG and Netflix have partnered recently to bring a set top box that streams movies to high def televisions.  published: 2008-03-11Share Your Vista Nightmare Story And Win A Prize It's no big secret that Microsoft Vista hasn't been the most well-received operating system release. I knew it was bad from several friends I have who weren't quick to embrace it. Then Microsoft offered the extension to manufacturers to keep using Windows XP - a sure sign that Vista was in jeopardy.  published: 2008-03-11Microsoft Working To Support Blu-Ray It almost sounds that there is still a high definition battle going on, despite the format finally being settled upon. Still, it’s good to hear Microsoft is moving towards accepting Blu-ray in some way. Regardless of their belief of digital distribution, consumers have just been put through one fight where digital release wasn’t a contender.
