Thank you Zynga for this day off
Zynga gave us all a day off.
Unlike my former employer this is not a cheap way to force me to deduct vacation time but a legitimate reward for last quarter.
Why Apple is Winning – or why Dell and Lenovo Deserve to die
If I was Steve Ballmer, then I would want to ring the scrawny or fat necks of both Chairman Dell and the head of the Lenovo Consortium.
A Microsoft customer buys a Lenovo laptop. And the Lenovo Laptop proudly proclaims to the world that the Lenovo Laptop has always on USB. A feature that allows you to charge your devices through the USB port without powering on the laptop.
When I say proclaims to the world, they have a little decal on the keyboard that advertises this feature. This is not some obscure little thing…
This is a very useful feature, especially when you are travelling.
So I insert my USB cable and … I feel like I am stuck in a bad episode of Revolution.
What the ?????
It turns out that this cool new feature advertised in such a prominent way … REQUIRES that I go into the BIOS, navigate the 1980’s VB text interface to configure it on.
For some reason some bozo Product Manager somewhere in the bowels of Lenovo’s design team decides to turn the feature OFF in the BIOS?
Really?
REALLY?
REALLY?
If I am Steve Ballmer, I am thinking: how do I build up my PC business so I stop having to deal with these Bozos that are destroying my brand… Because it’s the Software that’s the problem not the POS hardware those idiots build….
