This Week in Reader Comments
It's been a big week on TechFlash with readers discussing the new president at Microsoft, an unusual patent filing from Bill Gates and what went wrong at Fisher Plaza. Here are some of the comments that caught our eye.
Hater on Amazon.com: as frugal as ever?: "I'd like to see what type of furniture Bezos has at home. Or if he unscrews bulbs in his kitchen."
Tony on One force of nature vs. another: Bill Gates tries to stop hurricanes: "Has Bill ever seen how large the Gulf or Atlantic really is? This seems comparable to using tablespoons to cool a jacuzzi."
John Ludwig on Why Seattle VCs don't blog: "Some blog personally (for instance me, rich tong). As a formal part of our business I think you'd have to make the argument that a blog would materially affect a) deal flow or b) exits. Not obvious to me."
Bob on Windows boss named president as Microsoft reshuffles execs: "Sinofsky earned it with 7. But keeping Windows relevant is going to be much harder and require a lot more creativity than just fixing Vista. Hopefully he's up to the challenge."
Bob Witty on Photos: Inside the Fisher fire: "The accident here could happen to anyone. What would be the difference if all utility power was lost? The real question is, why did the generator room flood? Why was the redundant or back up system compromised?"
