Well, apparently MPV lives down there in Atlanta, because who do you think we ran into yet again this weekend? Yup, it’s Mac Pro Vader, looking [...]

Have a question about Windows Vista at Best Buy? Need to know which mouse to buy at Circuit City? Maybe one of Microsoft's new "gurus" will be there to help. Microsoft (MSFT) said today that it will put specially trained staffers in 155 U.S. stores by the end of the year to answer questions and demo Microsoft products. We like this idea - especially because the 'gurus' won't be paid on commission. We hope that ...

She’s a good speaker. The speech was full of half-truths (”I killed the bridge to nowhere”, “All the lobbyists have opposed John McCain’s candidacy”), but she gave the crowd what it wanted. She kept the anti-media theme alive and played the traditional attack dog role. The key for the Republican’s will be if they can keep her radical evangelical views out of the public eye.
