The Microsoft: Keep Your Evil Grubby Hands Off Of Our Flickr Pool [ via ]

Microsoft & Yahoo - This Kara Swisher article plus this winners/losers piece from Tristan Louis are the best articles so far. I’m hoping it doesn’t happen personally.

And from Microsoft? Bookmarked this to share with readers and friends… cool concept, except possibly the targeted ad idea. Here’s the BloggingStocks article - “Microsoft looks to revolutionize your grocery shopping”:

The first of these mediacarts will be in ShopRite supermarkets on the East Coast later this year. For shoppers that have a ShopRite loyalty card, they will be able to get online at home and enter their shopping lists. Once they hit the stores, they will then be able to swipe their cards into the MediaCart, and their list will magically appear.

The carts will be able to keep track of items as they are gathered and will even keep track of the consumer’s running bill as well as give them the option to pay for their merchandise without having to wait in the checkout line. I’m not really sure how this would work with weighed items such as produce, but I’m sure Microsoft has thought of this as well.

Windows 7 To Get Integrated Touch Features? - Like the iTouch or iPhone? And in, what, 6 years?

I don’t usually post this stuff, since i’ll probably never come back to it, but eric just pointed out that one of C|Net’s Top Ten terrible tech products is Microsoft’s Vista.

First off, i’m not an Apple fanboy. I use Windows XP (although I have a mac as a video workstation). My personal experience with Vista started when I bought a laptop a few months ago which CAME PRE INSTALLED WITH VISTA. Vista was (1) slow with just about everything, (2) took forever to reboot or shutdown - longer than my crap-filled XP box, and (3) annoyed me with the constant security alerts. And it’s not because of the laptop either - this baby was $2300+ top of the line laptop. And since i’m not the only one reporting these issues, i’m pretty sure i can’t blame the laptop.

Since Vista is the future, i’m most likely switching to a Mac as my primary machine whenever my XP workstation dies. Sometime in 2008 most likely.
