As Windows Phone 7 OS reaches RTM status, a bunch of Microsofties played an iPhone and BlackBerry funeral service… Microsoft is after the mobile market domination since ages (Windows CE, PC Tablets), and still believes it will happen. Oh boy ! ;-)
Microsoft Arc Mouse !
This special beast is the next mouse from Microsoft. Can you believe that ? I mean, do you style-believe that ? And it’s touch capable too, with touch-shortcuts to customize your rat sessions ! If you are that special too, you might end up indulging yourself next December for $69.95 !

Ruppert Murdoch and Microsoft Against Google !
You already know that Ruppert wants a fight with Google. He plans to remove all Murdoch media content from Google News, because he thinks it’s a content robbery. Everybody is laughing at him, saying he will simply vanish in cyber space if not visible within Google. Well, might be. Or not.
