Another stupid idea dies. Not sure why this type of news gives me immense satisfaction:

"ESPN pulls plug on cell operations. Apparently people are not interested in watching sports on their cell phone"

Microsoft's onslaught of useless technology continues. This time it is 'Wallop', a social networking site.

Bill to Ballmer: "Hey, we haven't failed in the social networking arena yet, let's try that!"
Ballmer: "Wow! What a groundbreaking idea!"

What is best is that I can almost picture Sony coming up with a new service for the same shortly.

It seems impossible for Microsoft to keep its lousy old hands off of anything. It now wants to compete with YouTube and has launched 'Soapbox.' How about hiring a QA intern to test Vista pals?
