Earlier today I had a pretty interesting conversation with an old college friend who happens to work for Microsoft about the status of their company. She told me of a recent good experience she had at the corporate store, which led to a discussion about the upcoming Microsoft retail stores. I have blogged about that [...]
Like many of you, I have been somewhat following the latest saga in the entertainment business surrounding singers Chris Brown and Rihanna. Although we still don’t know all the facts, it’s definitely not looking good for CB after a police report was released this week. The report gives a pretty gruesome account of what happened [...]
This morning while going through all my news feeds I saw a few stories about Microsoft deciding to get into the retail business.
