photo sharing made pretty



Mashable reports on a brand new photo sharing site - Bragosphere. Tools like Flickr and Photobucket are pretty entrenched, so it will be interesting to see if this gets traction.

If you look past the fact that it requires the Microsoft Silverlight plugin, this looks to be a cool feature rich application. Users can drag, drop and enlarge photos outside the grids you've become accustomed to on the other photo sites. That makes for a nice, friendly viewing experience. Worthy of exploration.

microsoft brings fun to the conference room.



On his last CEO Summit, Bill Gates debuted the touch wall. Basically, it's Microsoft Surface, installed vertically. Your conference room dreams of this. Your living room dreams of this. Retail stores dream of this.

Finally, something cool from Microsoft, that you really want. But can't afford.

how is microsoft still in business?



It is absolutely astounding that this exists. That money was spent on this. That people approved it. I know the money must flow out of faucets over there, but couldn't you hire a better conceptual team for this?

At first, you'll think it's bad on purpose, and all a part of the joke. But as you get about halfway through, you realize there's no punch line. It's real. Real embarrassing. Reboot, please.
