She is poetry in motion!

10 Years Of Pain And Suffering
Windows XP turned 10. It is hard to believe that this vehicle of pain and suffering is still the most popular OS in the world. Windows 7 should overtake it any day now. Estimates say that this should happen by the end of the month.

John McCarthy died at the age of 84. Dr. McCarthy was considered to be the father of Artificial Intelligence. Late in life he mentioned that he was a bit over-ambitious is his thinking that a machine could replicate the human brain.

Steve Ballmer Disrespects Android
Steve Ballmer does it again. At the Web 2.0 conference, He said "You don't have to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone, but you do to use an Android phone."
Seriously? Has he ever tried to correct a Windows problem? Android is a very easy to use platform.
Insomuch that no one buys Windows phones, one might say that Mr. Ballmer is jealous. Fair enough. But saying that Android is hard to use goes beyond sanity. Something that Mr. Ballmer tends to do pretty regularly.

World's Best Office Chair
Could this be the best office chair ever? It is a Martin Baker Mk6 ejector seat used by the RAF and the Royal Navy.
No word on price but I would imagine that it is expensive.

Very Sad Day
Steve Jobs (1955-2011) passed away today due to a chronic medial condition. It is a very sad day indeed. No one embodies passion for technology like Steve Jobs. When everyone else said that he would fail, he held true to his vision and principles above everything else.
Steve Jobs will go down in history as the most inspiring technology visionary of all time!
RIP Steve Jobs!
