POPSBill Gates is a bad father because he won't let his kids have ipods iphone. The kid's has the richest man in the world for a father and get's made fun of at school because he carries a zune. I would rather be Steve Jobs kids. I'm not going to allow my kids to have zunes or Windows Mobile phones. Friends don't let Friends drive windows.

POPSWhy A Microsoft Zune Phone Won't Matter Here's a smart take on a relentless rumor. There's chatter again that Microsoft plans to launch a cellphone utilizing technology from its Zune media player. This writer argues that even if this is true--and there is no real evidence that it is--we are likely to be disappointed by the emergence of a Zune phone. Microsoft needs to go bigger than a single product to surprise people and win mindshare, she says.

POPSHumble mouse turns 40 and loses its touch "The mouse now faces unprecedented competition. Laptops which make no use of a mouse are an increasingly popular alternative to desktop computers for workers on the move. Apple's popular iPhone and Nintendo's Wii have shown the potential for touchscreens and movement sensors. HP is pushing a mouse-less TouchSmart PC. Microsoft has invested millions of dollars in a coffee table-shaped 'Surface' computer which responds to natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects." And still it has done its job in making computers more accessible... happy birthday :-)

POPSOne day, your computer will be a big-ass table When pigs fly it will be. I don't know about you, but I'd have to clear a mound of crap off any table in my house before I could see the screen, much less use it as a computer. I use my tables to put stuff on, whether it's books and magazines, coffee cups, brunch, my gym gear, my remote control, or very often, my feet. Why, sometimes you can even find my laptop sitting on my coffee table, so why would I want to remove my laptop so I could use Microsoft Surface? And while I think I'd enjoy dragging stuff around the coffee table with flicks of my fingers, I know my neck and shoulders wouldn't enjoy it for long. Especially when I already have a perfectly good flatscreen already on the wall in front of me. I don't need to go stand in front of it and touch it either - I don't like fingerprints and I already have an input device for it that I've spent the last thirty years learning to use - my remote control. So I'm with sarcasticgamer.com when
