Microsoft has opened its doors to its own retail stores similar to the Apple Stores. Here’s a video of the store opening. Are you excited!?!
I wonder if Microsoft is confident enough to showcase Apple computers running Windows or Windows software like Office for the Mac? No Windows 7 running on Apple hardware yet though.
But really, can a Microsoft Store opening compare with this done Hawaiian style?
For the Twitter fanatics, here’s the Halloween costume for you – the Twitter bird mascot!
But really, not for sale at Walmart.
Don’t know why this tactic wasn’t used earlier, but songs and albums are now releasing ahead of schedule after being leaked online. Instead of letting people pirate the music before release dates, music companies are now selling the goods before pirating can steal away too many sales.
Adam Lambert’s Time for Miracles is the latest casualty. Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 went on sale early due to piracy, and I have to wonder about the New Moon soundtrack. Supposedly, it’s release date was pushed up due to “high demand,” but methinks high demand by pirates was the real cause.
So I’m not sure if I should be thanking music pirates or not?
Can the supposedly best 13-year old basketball player play hoops at UH? At 6-6, Andrew Wiggins will probably (if not already) be recruited by the big name schools, but why not play in the Aloha State?
Fun for the young and the old are the people-powered Plasma Cars
Help the Alien Ninja become a reality! The production company, Dog & Rooster, is looking for an intern to work on the fiction-comedy web series.
So you won’t get paid, but how can you resist working with an alien ninja?!
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pulpconnection is temporarily going pink. My usual lime header now features a pink grapefruit along with pink typefaces.
The future is bright when kids vote Steve Jobs as the most admired entrepreneur over the Olsen twins. Yes, my faith in tomorrow’s youth is restored.
PowerPoint Karaoke gives a whole new meaning to PowerPoint Ranger! I thought there was skill in mastering the nuances of Microsoft’s bane aka PowerPoint, but PPTk changes all of that.
PPTk ain’t about the PPT itself but presenting the PPT that you’ve seen for the first time. Yup, PowerPoint Karaoke participants are given a random set of PowerPoint slides and must present them. That’s tough!
You think you’re up to the challenge? Try your presentation skills at Hawaii’s first PowerPoint Karaoke coming up on October 17. Sounds like a delicious disaster waiting to happen, and oh, don’t forget to recite your PowerPoint Ranger Creed before your presentation:
This is my PowerPoint. There are many like it but mine is 97.
My PowerPoint is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.
My PowerPoint without me is useless. Without my PowerPoint, I am useless.
I must format my slides true. I must brief them better than the other staff sections who are trying to out brief me.
I must brief the impact on the CINC before he asks me. I will.
My PowerPoint and myself know that what counts in this war is not the number of slides, the colors of the highlights, nor the format of the bullets. We know that it is the new information that counts. We will brief only new information.
My PowerPoint is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its fonts, its accessories, its formats, and its colors.
I will keep my PowerPoint slides current and ready to brief. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before God I swear this creed. My PowerPoint and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our subject. We are the saviors of my career.
So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace (and the next exercise!)
Have you seen the new KIA Soul, a new way to roll? Looks like another mini crossover following the Scion xB and Nissan Cube.
Um, nah, I’ll pass on a new way to roll. But the Soul’s web site is eclectic with sheep and swimming fish.
What did I spot at Ala Moana this past weekend? How about this $175 Juicy bag for a grandmother?
Not your thing? How about some Nike Lunarglides?
And in case you forget, here’s a shirt to remind you.
Awesome (and expensive) Star Wars Lego.
And Legos are cool! Just ask Naveen Andrews aka Sayid on LOST who picked up some kits. Yes, that is really him. I recognize him from the last time. And no, I didn’t want to bug him for a picture during his family time in a crowded toy store full of people.
And as I was leaving while eating a wicked Haagen-Dazs Dazzler, I saw this tweet.
