ROTFLOL!

Hahahahahahaha!!

I feel so sorry for the chairs there tomorrow . . . the ones he throws and the ones he sits on.

"Awkward" Pretty much sums up everything about Microsoft and their products.

Maybe it will help someone remember the name "Vista".

I'll have my schadenfreude with a soupçon of Fester.

Alone, and in terror, the office chairs shiver and await their fate...

I'm spreeeeaaaading the news about this to "EVERYONE"!

Herman Miller Office Furniture just got another $150,000 order for new chairs to be delivered to Ballmer's office, the PA for Ballmer reportedly requested unbreakable chairs.

Wow.

If this was fiction, no one would think it was believable.

Awkward... yet PERFECT! HAH!

Too funny!

Thanks.

@Demon

Ballmer has an open order account with them.

Duck! That chair almost hit you.

We're having a double smug smirk with extra schadenfreude. Want one?

If that's with a dusting of icing sugar and chocolate on top, then "Yes please!"

A shot of brandy on the side would be great too!

It's just that Apple has better stuff!

Hahaha. You know, what would be most funny is if there is some prize money PAID FOR BY MICROSOFT. Hahaha.

(Hear any chairs?)

> Interestingly, 14 of the 15 teams at the event built their products on the Microsoft platform -- driven in part by the prize money offered by the BizSpark program

Wait. The 15th team, the one team who was not being "sponsored" by Microsoft, won the event that was itself sponsored by Microsoft. That is absolutely hilarious!

"We're having a double smug smirk with extra schadenfreude. Want one?"

I have one one here right now, but a second would be delightful! lol

Hahaha. Imagine if Apple rejects the winning app. Does that mean that reject apps are better than what Microsoft and their devs can conjure?

I read a comment on the mini-msft blog a while ago where a MSFT-employed mentioned that according to the statistics on his corporate O'Reilly Safari account, iPhone development-books are the ones currently most-read by MSFT-employes.
To quote "surely, that's not a good sign".
I doubt it's a fake...

Yea, this shit IS fast now ...

Sep 01, 09 - 05:12 am Comment from: Macintosher

I shall be telling my friends this.

Ironic sure, but wouldn't it have been better PR-wise to have 14 of 15 using the Apple "platform", and LOST the competition?

Cream rises to the top!

Sep 01, 09 - 09:24 am Comment from: KingMel

One iPhone app with 14 Windows-based competitors and it wins? That's superiority through obscurity.

mmmmmm...
Frothy, foamy schadenfreude.

Great take, MDN

GUT BUSTER (BENT OVER) LMAO!!!

Can you say.... CLASSIC!

:-O

There simplest explanation is astroturfing MAC sheep have infiltrated even the most sacrosanct of events: Microsoft-sponsored contests. Obviously MAC lemmings are fearful of the exciting Windows Mobile 7 and the Zune platforms so they loudly disrupt proceedings with fear-based false claims or vaporware announcements just like the MAC brass do.

In other words, move along, nothing to see here.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Sep 01, 09 - 09:48 am Comment from: Road Warrior

And da Zune Thang goes...

Blah blah blah, can't believe you MAC pussies convinced all those Microsoft users that blah blah blah blah. Just you wait until blah blah blah blah blah. Mobile me is so much blah blah blah. Now excuse me while I go blow my IT support so I can get my Zune unstuck...blah blah blah blah blah.

Preemptive post.

Did they remove the article? I'm getting a 404 error page.

Advice to M$...PUNT
Your only possible chance is a mini-mobile Office iPhone app,
but everybody knows it would take years to be file format compatible across the board.

They removed he article.... Is there no more...

The article is still on the site's home page, with video.

Make mine with extra Cocoa!

@BobM:

Here's the permalink: iPhone app wins top honors at Microsoft sponsored event

@RoadWarrior:

Looks like ya were typing too slow, there. <g>

Sep 01, 09 - 06:05 pm Comment from: Road Warrior

db,

-naw I was typing the post for the next article.
- yaw, I started typing earlier but laughed too much.

-Maybe but the dog ate my homework.

But hey, since I am here I might as well do a Zune Tang retort:

What he/she says:

"There simplest explanation is astroturfing MAC sheep have infiltrated even the most sacrosanct of events: Microsoft-sponsored contests."

What it means:

"The security at the most sacrosanctimonious MS event is on par with Windows security."


And when it comes to MS security, well you might as well move along, nothing to see there.
