"I work with technology and even though I live in Brazil, I'm already feeling the impact of this recession in my pocket.
So, I totally understand your point and I do know that it's not easy (at all) to navigate against the "common sense". Congratulations for that! :)" - Leonardo Souza
"Hi Jacob!
I like the passionate (infuriated?) way that you state your points, and I do agree that some articles/posts seem to be lacking some support from real facts instead of just "points of view"/opinions.
In any case, I read this article by Chris Dannen at FastCompany recently (http://www.fastcompany.com/art......), that make somne points about "Why venture-backed tech hopefuls may be a haven amid the financial storm.".
Although I don't agree with everything that it's written there, it does have some good points.
Best,
Leo" - Leonardo Souza
@Sprague but I wasn't slamming Microsoft :) - Steven Hodson
@Hutch it's been flaky all day .. one minute it fine ... then I'll get the error .. wait a sec and refresh and it's back .. next refresh it might be gone again or it might not .. trying to get a hold of support to find out WTF is going on - Steven Hodson
Like everything else, it's the way you look at it. I see it as an action statement: "Don't count us out." ...even if I'm a Mac person. ha! - Mona N.
Mmmmm Error establishing a database connection - Denis
@Denis yes I know but it seems if you wait a second or two and try a refresh it comes back - I'm on the wire with hosting (idiots) support to get it fixed - Steven Hodson
Steven, talk about irony -- your post is about knee-jerk Microsoft hate and I just assumed it was more of the same because I'm so used to people slamming them. Good post. - Sprague D
MS bashing has all the marks of peer pressure among the tech blog industry. If you like Vista or think MS is doing something good then you don't get to be one of those cool, rebellious Mac folks. I am all for people using whatever OS they enjoy and are comfortable with but the knee jerk mindless Vista / MS bashing just makes some writers look like idiots... but they are idiots with massive page ranks :) - Soulhuntre
damn, I find myself agreeing with Soulhuntre. And I use Vista. Yikes. Time to retire from the tech blogging business. - Robert Scoble
Soulhuntre, more irony -- those who pontificate from inside their iBubble have next to nothing to say to the vast majority of tech consumers. The first big name tech blogger who bucks the trend and breaks out of the narrow niche they inhabit will gain more audience than they can imagine. Talk about serving an unmet need. - Sprague D
@Sprague Personally I think that the average person doesn't care about technology, they just want a magic box that gives them free videos, porn, vijda games, a way to talk to their friends and occasionally bitch about movies. Other than that they could care less about who makes it or how it works (or doesn't). - Sam Levine
Sam, I agree average users are not any tech blogger's target. I'm talking about the millions of technical people who use Microsoft OSs and non-Apple smartphones whose needs and interests are not represented in the tech blogosphere nearly enough in proportion to their numbers. - Sprague D
I liked it too, except for the fact that now the list of tags that appear while you're typing don't automatically remove the ones you already put there, which is kinda annoying. But it does look better though. - Leonardo Souza
It is a much cleaner look... I like it! - Rich Casey
Just went to the same talk here at TR7, was super impressed... - Chris Hollander
Looking to see how he does it so well... he's giving a presentation in 20 minutes on how to give presentations. Headed there. (Room 211) Update: Didn't get in, there's going to be a repeat tomorrow. - Paul Whitaker
Went there too and it was already full. I hope I can make to tomorrow's session too. Lets see how that goes! - Leonardo Souza
Acabava de surgir o termo ::quirkyalone::, que definia “uma pessoa que se diverte sendo solteira, mas não é contra estar em uma relação, e que prefere estar só a namorar apenas para fazer parte de um par”. - Leonardo Souza
