- cjfont 13y agoCorrect, your data being inaccessible isn't the same as being Scroogled (per MS)
- wubbfindel 13y agoYou could argue that it's MORE secure if even you can't access it. But I wouldn't argue that.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoMaybe if Microsoft wasn't wasting its time trying to spread slurs about competitors, it could actually spend that time creating interesting software, building viable new products, and making sure it doesn't f*ck up its own DNS records. Or maybe someone's making that point for them ...
- BlackDeath3 13y agoYou're really reaching now.
- dandelany 13y agoYes, I'm quite sure the marketing team in charge of the Scroogled campaign has the technical chops to prevent a DNS outage.
- mistermann 13y agoJudging by their revenues, someone must find their software interesting, or at least useful.
- niels_olson 13y agoThey just haven't finished burning through the world's biggest lead.
- mistermann 13y agoAh, so they had a huge lead and they are losing it, I see. Oh wait: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/oct13/10-24fy14q1earningspr.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/oct13/10-24fy... REDMOND, Wash. — October 24, 2013 — Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $18.53 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Gross margin, operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $13.42 billion, $6.33 billion, $5.24 billion, and $0.62 per share. I chuckle at how a lot of anti-MS zealots are absolutely mystified at how non-anti-MS simply can possibly be so delusional.
- girvo 13y agoWow. That was a reach.
- curiousDog 13y agoYes, ALL the developers (judging by your comment, who are no doubt better coders than you) at Microsoft are working on the new marketing campaign. Jesus christ, viable new products, perhaps they should just start making beer delivery apps on the rails stack, that'll prove themselves right? That 4chan thread the other day was exactly about guys like you.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoFair point. My original comment was poorly worded; I obviously didn't mean to imply any of the things you're claiming here. I merely (over)reacted out of extreme frustration with a marketing campaign that I can barely believe someone at Microsoft sanctioned. Whatever any of us think of Microsoft (I'm obviously not their biggest fan), you have to admit that this is a low, LOW move, and something that probably never would have happened were Bill Gates still in charge.
