Meat isn't healthy, not unless you are a lion or a tiger!
BTW my cholesterol level is about 130, and you won't find any cases of heart disease with anyone under 150, that means I'll probably outlive Microsoft :)

Over the course of our evolution, human digestive tract has become more suited for a mostly vegetarian diet. The length of our intestine is a dead giveaway. All carnivores have intestines that are less than 10 feet long. Ours is greater than 20 feet long.

P.S. Your body need meat, plain and fucking simple.

Plus alligator skin shoes look fucking sweet sticking out the bottom of my calf skin pants. Smooth as butter on my bare ass.
Hope you enjoy your wheat grass and hemp clothing, douche's.

I so wanna eat a good couscous though...

So , vegans, consider this: If you're in the middle of a desert, two weeks from civilization and with nothing but a fortnight's supply of beef jerky to keep you going then you're going to lose that argument pretty bloody quickly.]]>Jan 1st 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Jan 1st 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/

Oh and yes, variety is good. I'm not saying eating a steak a day is good for you (there are leaner meats out there), but others like chicken, turkey, fish, etc are still good alternatives and each offer different nutrients than the other. It's true that eating meat alone and forgetting veggies altogether is NOT good for you, but a mix in between is quite good. Lots of vegans/vegetarians jump on the bandwagon because the only see the "animal killing", not knowing the impacts on their own health (everyone has to be selfish to some degree). Lots simply don't realize the nutrients they miss out on (like vitamin B-12) and are actually doing more harm than good. Anyways, lets get back to the original topic ..]]>Jan 2nd 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Jan 1st 2009 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Jan 1st 2009 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Jan 1st 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/IF you ever used OSX you ll find many similarities with Windows 7 even in Vista and they were all first appeared at OSX for some reason.
Apple spying on Microsoft or Microsoft copying Apple ?

Still it does look a lot better though.

Microsoft should give this OS away as compensation.]]>Jan 1st 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/
Why should MS give W7 away since, you know, Vista isn't actually broken, works fine and actually caused fewer issues than XP?

Seriously. I'm interested in your answer. If you have one.]]>Jan 1st 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/
...Wow, Vista is *far* from "not broken." Just because it works on your machine doesn't mean it works across the board. I had it running for all of two weeks, maybe, before it broke on me. After trying to do *anything*, it would pop up with "Windows Explorer has stopped working and needs to restart," then would proceed to reload the desktop (not reboot), and close all windows. Didn't matter whether I was even trying to use Windows Explorer. After a miserable time trying to troubleshoot it, I fell for Ubuntu's siren call...]]>Jan 1st 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Jan 5th 2009 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Jan 1st 2009 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/
Axe that department and focus on building what Microsoft is famous for - SOFTWARE. And I'm very sure it has to do much with the redundant staffing since the purchase of the overpriced Aquantive in Seattle. Before you go and rebutt, think about what MSN does all day ? After years of competition and billion dollar buyout of other ad agencies, MSN still can't dent google even the smallest bit. So you meet all week and talk about strategies but nothing ever comes out of this MSN group. Like I said, a bunch of over paid futile employees who should of been axed a LONG TIME ago.

Focus on what MS does best - SOFTWARE. Fix this up before you lose more market share to APPLE in the OS dept. Bring on Windows 7.]]>Dec 31st 2008 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/Dec 31st 2008 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/MSN is pretty useless, Live is okay though, especially the new services.]]>Jan 1st 2009 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/]]>Jan 1st 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/

Honestly I've been running it on my laptop and it's great. Then again, Vista flew on this laptop so I would need to compare on something older to see how well they trimmed the desktop window manager and graphical stack to help it run on lower spec machines. So far the only things that don't work are some hotkeys on my laptop that I can't use because the Lenovo software won't install if it doesn't detect you using XP or Vista. Otherwise everything is rock solid.]]>Jan 1st 2009 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/31/microsoft-preparing-for-new-layoffs/

If Microsoft wants to join the OS world it has to get the idea that patents are dead.
This is after all 2009 and we have been using PCs for more than a decade, so we don't need balloons to tell us everything from we are connected to we can now remove a device!
We will continue to use the free OS Linux and ever growing mainstream Ubuntu.
