Microsoft Fires Employee Over G5 Photos on Blog

Of blogging and unemployment, a sad story:

The day started like any other day — get up, dink around for a bit, bus into work, and start working through the stack of jobs. Just shy of an hour after I got in, my manager came in and asked me to step into his office when I had a chance. Sure, no biggie, and I headed over as soon as I finished the job I was setting up.

"Okay, here's the first question. Is this page," and here he turned his monitor towards me, letting me see my "Even Microsoft wants G5s" post from last Thursday, "hosted on any Microsoft computer? Or is it on your own?"

"It's on mine. Well, it's on a hosted site that I pay for, but no, it's not on anything of Microsoft's."

"Good. That means that as it's your site on your own server, you have the right to say anything you want. Unfortunately, Microsoft has the right to decide that because of what you said, you're no longer welcome on the Microsoft campus."


Finally! - MyTunes

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone came out with this:

iTunes is mainly meant to be used as a music manager and means of purchasing music online. However, in addition to purchasing music, one can listen to any of the music shared by others on a network. So, for example, if another person on your network has iTunes and decides to share their music, you can listen to it. iTunes does not allow you to save this music to your hard drive.

MyTunes lifts this restriction by allowing you to save music from other computers to your hard drive.

Now if only someone could get around the fact that I can only see users in the same dorm as me, rather than the whole campus. (actually there is this for Mac OS X, and this tool for linux, but that doesn't help most of us - maybe i'll try porting to Windows when i have time [ha, right!]).
