Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360 is Doomed to Fail
,----[ Quote ]
| This all seems like Microsoft's answer to
| the clever Wii controller, with its built-
| in gyroscopes and accelerometers. But when
| all is said and done, game consoles were
| invented with game controllers in mind.
| The Wiimote is a modernized game
| controller. The Kinnect is a gimmick, and
| as gimmicks go, its popularity will be
| brief, unless the most compelling game in
| the world arrives built around it. And I
| do not see that happening.

Good bye Microsoft!

| Today, a lot of people do not connect to
| the Internet only through PC's but through
| many different technologies. It is these
| new technologies that along with
| alternative operating systems such as Mac
| OS and Linux are lowering the usage of
| Microsoft Windows overall. With the
| release of Google Chrome OS at the end of
| the year, Linux will take even more market
| share away from Windows. It seems that
| Microsoft is slowly fading from its
| dominant position and loosing its
| monopoly. Only through innovation will
| Microsoft be able to defend its place but
| it seems that this is very unlikely.
| Microsoft has become too big and sluggish.
| It is time to bid Microsoft good bye and
| embrace the up and coming alternatives.

Microsoft Debt Issuance Makes Zero Economic Sense
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has $1 and $0.75 billion of debt
| that matures in 2019 and 2039, respectively.
| Ironically, though this debt comes with higher
| interest, it makes sense if the company
| believes that weâll have significant inflation
| and it will be paying off its debt with
| inflated dollars.
