2007-11-06 19:18 Intendend and unintended consequences
The Swedish Home PC program, with tax breaks for purchasing a computer, seems to have had its intended consequence with broad PC and Internet adoption. But there were also effects that the Government likely didn't plan for. The following quote attributed to Steve Ballmer of Microsoft reinforces that a company providing core functionality to lot of people in a big market can make a lot of money: "The Swedish government is printing money for Microsoft. Grab this opportunity while it's here, it can …

2007-10-23 22:42 O protocolo 666a
Eis que, ao abrir o The Secret Diary of Steve Ballmer, dou de cara com este post, onde o "próprio" escancara o protocolo 666a, a estratégia da Gigante de Redmond para eliminar os concorrentes indesejáveis. Incomodado com o recente sucesso da Apple, vejam o que ele diz: Everywhere I look there is only good news for Apple: Leopold Record Pre-orders! iMac Sales off the charts! IPod Sales Still on Rise! Newton Slate in Development! Stock Price climbing weekly! New Stunning MacPro Coming! Laptop Sale …

2007-10-19 14:20 Microsoft Plans 20 Smaller Acquisitions a Year
I'm lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) to have met Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. This was before the news of his chair throwing tendencies but the guy was still just as much intimidating. That said, I have respect for a guy that's straight talking and calls things as he sees them. At the recent Web 2.0 Summit in San Fran, Ballmer downplayed suggestions that MSFT would acquire Yahoo or Facebook. "If at some point it makes sense, maybe then it makes sense. But that's not where we a …

2007-10-19 07:35 Did Microsoft send in the trolls
Mi piace l'espressione "patent troll". Did Microsoft send in the trolls : " Our own Stephen Shankland at C|Net has seen the other shoe drop on Steve Ballmer s patent threat. (Found this cute guy at Funkydung.com .) Two patent trolls, Technology Licensing Corp. of Nevada and IP Innovation, a unit of Acacia Technologies, have filed suit against Novell and Red Hat for alleged violations of U.S. Patent 5,072,412, which covers a ˜User interface with multiple workspaces for sharing display system ob …

2007-10-18 23:16 Web 2.0 Summit. Still solid.
Rumors have been flying about the beginning of the end of the web 2.0 Summit, the super hi-profile, $3750 a seat, trade show in SF. It was kinda like a run of hi-end performers pushing the bar higher to take on this valuable ground of being The trade show of reference in the Internet industry, like Comdex was for long in the software age. John Battelle's Conversational Marketing was great and TechCrunch 40 simply excellent and... different. Web 2.0 Summit remains the only trade show where you ge …

Såhär... att INTE rikta fokus mot San Fransisco just nu skulle vara som att stå och prata om hur viktigt det är med fluorsköljning mitt under ett brinnande världskrig. :) Så därför, without further ado: Just nu, 17-19 oktober pågår alltså Web 2.0 Summit på ett hotell i San Fransisco för fjärde året av det som har varit en slags "Who's who" för internetföretag. Årets upplaga bjuder på en lista av speakers som inte går av för hackor. The Guardian rapporterar föredömligt... (se referatlänkarna): Ig …

2007-10-11 05:13 The Stockholm Syndrome
At ITxpo in Orlando this week, Gartner analyst Yvonne Genovese took on Steve Ballmer of Microsoft. The exchange started as: Genovese : "My daughter comes in one day and says, 'Hey Mom, my friend has Vista, and it has these neat little things called gadgets -- I need those.'" Ballmer : "I love your daughter." Genovese : "You're not going to like her mom in about two minutes," And Genovese kept jabbing as you can read here. What's striking about this is not just the humor in the exchange, but how …

Is it just me, or does Microsoft seem to flailing about quite a bit lately They are sure kicking up a lot of fuss over an open operating system and open-source ethos that not long ago they would have liked you to think didn't even exist on their radar. And Linux / FOSS marches inexorably onward. Blogged with Flock

2007-10-04 04:09 Random Thoughts Over Leffe Blonde Ale
Taking a page of from Jason Calacanis's book , here are some random thoughts I had while drinking a Leffe Blonde Ale. Good customer service and customer experience is such an important aspect of a good business. Recently, I've had these various experiences with companies like AT&T, Zip Car, and American Express. I leave feeling so good about the companies. I feel so good that I wanna tell my friends about it. I quickly become an evangelist for the companies and for the people behind the bu …

It's proxy season again. And thanks to new corporate compensation rules, you'll find more detail than ever in this year's document. For example, you'll learn that while CEO Steve Ballmer may have been unable to get the trains to run on time, invest in areas that actually return a profit, catch major new trends, restore confidence, or get this moribund stock moving despite record buybacks using our cash, he was paid less than most CEOs to do it. The Board, in their collective wisdom, think that c …

Mini-Microsoft has a very good post that reviews the recent Company Meeting. Looks like he came away happy with the content. Most interesting to me - and a seeming highlight for some others - was Steve Ballmer giving a speech where he reviewed a company scorecard: Especially impressive was SteveB 's scorecard slide where he ranked red/green/yellow how we fared against each of Linux/Oracle/IBM/Sony/Nintendo/Google/Apple/piracy etc etc, customer satisfaction, revenue, innovation, hiring, etc. I do …

2007-09-06 19:01 Ballmer Visits London But Your Probably Not Invited
Whilst at SeedCamp I bumped into a few ex-Microsoft colleagues, one of those was Lars Lindstedt who is in charge of Microsoft's Local Software Economy initiative* Lars announced at Seedcamp that he is currently busy organising Steve Ballmer's annual visit to London on 1st October. As ever it is an invite-only event, so if you have not been asked as yet, don't expect one any time soon. However Lars did let slip that the hand picked invited press attending will not be allowed to ask any questions! …

2007-09-03 15:32 Why Copyright
People should listen to Tim Lee : I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with Braden Cox's take on post-sale restrictions of the first sale doctrine. Braden did a good job of explaining why limiting the first sale doctrine would be good for software companies. But he did not, as far as I can see, provide any explanation for how limiting the first sale doctrine would benefit society as a whole, which is what copyright is supposed to accomplish.[...] But the fundamental issue here is that the …
