Psychotherapy must be up his alley, he seems to have come to terms with it quite well and taken it with a sense of humor. An initial run of 4 million copies is a lot of pressure on a single developer, the sort that can make you a legend or

Yes, that's exactly right. Ballmer wanted to react to Google's Motorola acquisition and Nokia got a good deal out of it. Ballmer was heavily criticized (by the board no less) and the acquisition was mostly a write-off [1]. Compare

This article seems to have a personal axe to grind. Building an OS is hard, building an SDK is hard and so is building an IDE to go with it. Nokia is not a software company. It could not have competed with Google, Apple or Microsoft on the

Microsoft has strategic reason not to suffocate the other AVs completely. It's better to have multiple companies attack viruses on multiple fronts. If McAfee and ilk went away completely the onus would lie entirely on Microsoft. Laptop

The FitBit seems like the right product in the right category. The Chronos much less so and it seems like the same product with a different form factor -- with restricted battery life as you point out. It's only a matter of time before

I have been skeptical after a lot of Microsoft misses but the Surface Book Pro might just put Microsoft on the high road. Splitting up the hardware breaks new ground. If I understood it correctly, the GPU is in the keyboard which you can at

I don't know when I gleaned it but it was definitely a culmination of my time at Microsoft, that building a platform is one of those painfully obvious things that everyone should be doing. I wrote a rant about it in 2010[1] thinking I

It's a neat idea, however, I think this sort of an effort can more effective if open sourced. In fact, it's probably better you open-source it before someone else comes along and does it. To clarify, I am not talking about the UX

I am not saying it's a bad idea. However, it trades one set of problems for another. What point is there in highlighting a problem and then proposing a remedy which introduces the same problems in a different form? > I like the idea

Got me excited there for a minute until I checked the price. I can't help but think this is way over-priced. The 6" DIY kit from Visionect is ~$600. The latest 6" Kindle with WiFi is ~$80 (on Prime Day it was going for ~$50).
