Microsoft pruning more jobs
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is preparing to make a new round of
| job cuts as early as tomorrow, according to

| the unconfirmed numbers we're hearing are
| relatively small in the scheme of things --
| far less than the thousands of jobs cut by
| the company last year.

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.

What happened to Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| We hear very little from its outside
| agencies and almost nothing from the inside
| PR department.
|
| Where are the exciting news stories about
| what the company is doing? This can't be
| good for the company, it has always relied
| on a blanket of often obfuscating PR,
| especially when leading into the next
| generation cash cow.
