Steve Balmer!

this jackass is burying micrsoft as we speak, not only has he already weakened it but he is now opening a personal vendeta against Google, adding another company to the list of microsoft enemies (including Mac, Sony, and the U.S Supreme court)

and heres a happy little article

Quote:Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer vowed to "kill" internet search leader Google Inc. in an obscenity-laced tirade, and Google chased a prized Microsoft executive "like wolves," according to documents filed in an increasingly bitter legal battle between the rivals.

The allegations, filed in a Washington state court, represent the latest salvos in a showdown triggered by Google's July hiring of former Microsoft executive Kai Fu-Lee to oversee a research and development centre that Google plans to open in China. Lee started at Google the day after he resigned from Microsoft.

The tug-of-war over Lee - known for his work on computer recognition of language - has exposed the behind-the-scenes animosity that has been brewing between two of high-tech's best-known companies.

Ballmer's threat last November was recounted in a sworn declaration by a former Microsoft engineer, Mark Lucovsky, who said he met with Microsoft's chief executive 10 months ago to discuss his decision to leave the company after six years.

After learning Lucovsky was leaving to take a job at Google, Ballmer picked up his chair and hurled it across his office, according to the declaration.

Ballmer then pejoratively berated Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Lucovsky recalled.

"I'm going to f---ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again," the declaration quotes Ballmer. "I'm going to f---ing kill Google."

Before joining Google, Schmidt was a top executive at Sun Microsystems Inc. and Novell Inc., a pair of tech companies that Microsoft has previously battled.

In a statement, Ballmer described Lucovsky's recollection as a "gross exaggeration. Mark's decision to leave was disappointing and I urged him strongly to change his mind. But his characterization of that meeting is not accurate."

Microsoft is suing to prevent Lee from leading Google's China expansion, maintaining those duties would violate the terms of a noncompete agreement that he signed as part of his employment contract.

Google has depicted Microsoft's lawsuit as a form of intimidation designed to thwart a fast-growing rival that has emerged as a formidable threat to the software maker.

The Lucovsky declaration is just one piece of evidence that Google has filed in an attempt to prove that Microsoft is on a vendetta.

Microsoft won the first round in the case in late July when King County Superior Court Judge Steven Gonzalez issued an order temporarily barring Lee from performing the duties that Google hired him to do.

The two rivals are scheduled to face off in court on Tuesday when Microsoft will ask Gonzalez to extend the order against Lee and Google until the case goes to trial in January.

As it tries to make its case, Microsoft is trying to demonstrate that Google wanted Lee largely because he knows intimate details about Microsoft's strategy for expanding in China and for the booming search engine market.

In its brief, Microsoft alleged that Lee sent confidential documents about the company's China strategy to Google a month before he was hired, although Google insists all the material that Lee relayed to Google had been made public previously.

Microsoft also released an email from Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's director of business development, in an attempt to prove the company wants Lee for other projects besides the new China centre.

"I all but insist that we pull out all the stops and pursue him like wolves," Rosenberg wrote of Lee. "He is an all-star and will contribute in ways that go substantially beyond China."

Before resigning from Microsoft, Lee began to help Google plot its China strategy with a series of suggestions, including recommending possible sites for the new office, according to Microsoft's brief.

Microsoft alleged Lee's insights helped him win a Google contract worth more than $US10 million ($13.14 million) - a package that Google itself described as "unprecedented" for the company.

Google paid Lee a $US2.5 million signing bonus and promised a $US1.5 million bonus after one year, plus a $US250,000 salary and options on 10,000 shares of Google stock, according to court documents.

If he stays for four years, Lee also will receive another 20,000 Google shares, currently worth $US5.8 million.

Lee also demanded that Google pay all his legal fees if Microsoft sued, a request that was granted.

  Ram booster...

Lets take a minute to talk about software features shall we!?

A software has had alot of great strides in the last few years. it came to be that software could not just perform the one task that it was made for initially. Wordprocessors got spell checks and auto-paragraphing. Music and audio players got playlists and visuallizations. These features became more and more prominent over the years so that programs like NotePad were turned into programs like Microsoft word.

Not all of these features were usefull, however. some features got in the way and hindered the performence of the program, or took so many resources that the program couldnt run at the same time and the feature had to be split off as a seperate application. but there is one thing that even I havent seen:

A FEATURE THAT IS ONLY NOT USEFULL, BUT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA AND SUBTRACTS FROM THE TOTAL USEFULLNESS OF THE PROGRAM ITSELF.

and this example is that incedence to the extreme. this is the storey of:

Ram Booster
the true story of OmegaZero_Alpha's shitty ram booster

Those who fear for the safety of their computer or are sensitive about the computers of others may want to divert their attention.

One day, OmegaZero_Alpha was watching as his computer slowwed to a stop due to a combo of a large program he is fond of and WindowsBlinds, in which he recently installed.

Omega has heard, however, of a program that could enable him to use both of the programs at the same time, with System res' to boot. So Omega fired up the old google-engine and found his target.

This program was called Ram Booster, and it functions simmilar to the Disk Defragmentor that is instaled by default on most Windows computers, exept it defragments and organized system processes to free up ram.

This program worked perfectly, Omega could not only use his program with his favorite widgets and themes, but he could listen to his favorite music whille doing so. But all was not well... as the hidden feature would soon strike one mighty and infinate blow right through the heart of Omega's hard-drive.

One night omega went to fire up his computer after it had been tipped over. But little did omega know, when his computer tipped his secondary hard-drive was rendered disconnected, causing a boot failure. This was not a problem, though, as omega easily plugged the hard drive right back in. AT HIS OWN PERIL!!!

The RAM BOOSTER struck fast and swift with it's hidden feature: "automatic system restore upon boot failure" and it's function was this: if the sytem fails to boot whille Ram Booster is installed, the program blaims itself and automatically performs a system restore, but if you dont set a restore point to use (which it doesnt tell you to do) than it picks by default:

TO THE EARLIEST FUCKING RESTORE POINT IT CAN FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE MOST WORTHLESS PEICE OF SHIT PROGRAMMING IVE EVER HEARD OF!!! WHO IN THE HELL MAKES A PROGRAM THAT AUTOMATICALLY ROLLS BACK YOUR SYTEM TO MAY 10th. WHY CANT IT USE THE RESTORE POINT IT MADE WHEN I INSTALLED IT? WHO THOUGHT THIS FEATURE TO BE USEFULL!?! WHY WOULD THEY IMPLEMENT THIS!?! DO YOU THINK THAT THE MAKERS OF THIS PROGRAM USES BULLETPROOF SHEETS, GOD I HOPE NOT.

Yeah, so dont expect me on as im going to be re-downloading all of my music and downlaods since march, the last time i backed up my system, and if any of the makers of this program are in your neigborhood, vote them off the island, and i mean the entire fucking dual-american continent (north, south and central america).
