Please, step up and do a better job covering the industry. There's a place for it as Gizmodo did the exact same thing. You could have covered Mix and had something they didn't. Why didn't you?]]>Mar 7th 2008 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
I am similarly perplexed. There has been some really amazing stuff coming out of Mix, not to mention techfest should be a really big deal for a tech site too. Has anyone seen MS Research's Music Steering Project? If they bring this to their media apps and devices it will be a really big boost for them. Glad to see though research projects like Sea Dragon actually become part of real projects though (deep zoom in Silverlight).]]>Mar 7th 2008 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/(I just asked them this:)

Why aren't you covering Mix at all Engadget? It's a pretty big deal and you guys haven't touched on it yet.. I know you aren't big ms fans but it is getting a bit silly now and you are losing touch with a lot of your fans.]]>Mar 7th 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/Thank you, thank you, thank you. I tried to explain that to everyone yesterday about the rediculous ammount of apple coverage. What the f(_)ck has happened to engadget? I love the site and I do not have one problem with apple, well, besides being overpriced i dont. I am just tired of seeing so much about them when there are just as many stories about other important gadgets or tech news that engadget could post. I just don't understand....]]>Mar 7th 2008 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
amen brother. engadget needs to be called out on this glaring fact.]]>Mar 7th 2008 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/Mar 7th 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
Don't be silly. Engadget isn't pro-Apple. Haven't you read Ryan's LOUD INSISTANCE that they aren't? Just ignore the fact that they publish at least four Apple articles to each Microsoft one.. or skip Mix... not to mention the Heroes Happen {here} rollout or...

Maybe Ballmer should take up wearing a turtleneck.

Seriously though - you just have to get used to it. You don't come to Engadget for anything related to Microsoft or PC. You come here for endless snarky PMP, lopsided PC reviews and endless... endless.. dear God in Heaven, endless Apple coverage/fawning.

Hell, they can't even keep the distinction between Tablet PC, UMPC and MID right. Personally, I think they're just jealous because Apple's never made a real tablet. :)]]>Mar 7th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/Mar 7th 2008 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
You sir, hit the nail on the head.]]>Mar 7th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
oh boo hoo.

you whiners need to get a new hobby. I'm sure i'll get ranked down, but i don't really care. Engadget can cover whatever they want. (and honestly, i find silverlight, IE8 etc al incredibly boring... if something RELEVANT comes out of it, fine, but so far it's been pretty meh.)]]>Mar 7th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
For everyone else, go to visitmix.com for coverage. There's a lot of neat stuff, even applicable to gadgets (shock). I know!

Oh, and IE8 beta is out, Live Workplace is out, LucidTouch was demo'd, Deep Zoom is available,
Silverlight scales to mobile and will be on the Nokia 60 series, etc... It's no iPhone, but it's not bad stuff.

At least Ballmer is enthusiastic and doesn't care what people think of him. ]]>Mar 7th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/I think all we're asking for is fair and balanced coverage of what seemed to be a pretty high profile event. Yes, the Apple iPhone SDK is great news for developers, but so is IE8 from a standards point view, as well as many of the other announcements at Mix08 that you wouldn't have heard about if following Engadget alone.]]>Mar 7th 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/Mar 7th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/Mar 7th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
EXACTLY RIGHT! They would rather post a crappy low res iPhone fake than cover mix...
I like engadget, but the only reason I am a Apple flamer is because they get too much bloody news.]]>Mar 8th 2008 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/

PLEASE build an OS which is grearter than Windows 3.1 and I'm would love to pay more than what I paid for Vista Ultimate...

If not, please stop whining like a three years old about MS's products since you can't make a better one...]]>Mar 8th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/ballmer-answer-iphone-sdk-questions-revisits-monkey-boy-dance/
1. Buy a mac
2. Use code warrior
3. Buy a iPhone

Now, this bit hurts me the most....... Wait for it..... 360 is a piece of junk, but it IS the best conslue out there at the moment becuase its easy to code for.

WM has been around for almost 10 years, why on Earth are you so dense as to attempt to make such a vapid point as no one cares about it?

Do you know there are THOUSANDS of apps for WinMobile, and it runs on all manner of devices. Just because Engadget/Gizmodo decided to overhype this like they do everything Apple does, does not mean that all development on WinMobile will just cease from now on.]]>Mar 7th 2008 9:14AM
