Continue ReadingDylan’s Desk: Microsoft vs. the octopus
Posted by VentureBeat
A recent viral story about an octopus taking a joyride on a dolphin struck me as the perfect capsule review of Microsoft’s new Surface tablet.�Somehow, a cephalopod attached itself to a dolphin’s nether parts — right on its genital slit, uncomfortably enough — and the dolphin was leaping vigorously into the air in an effort to dislodge the unwelcome embrace.
It’s a great metaphor for what Microsoft is doing right now.
Think of the octopus as Microsoft’s increasingly useless PC manufacturing partners, who despite repeated attempts at intimate relations with Microsoft, can’t seem to produce anything useful, probably because they’re a totally diff[...]

Oracle's Catz Was 'shocked' by HP Suit Against Hurd
Posted by PCWorld
Oracle refused to commit to continued porting of its software to Hewlett-Packard's Itanium platform as part of the companies' settlement over Oracle's hiring of Mark Hurd, Oracle co-President Safra Catz told a judge on Tuesday.
HP enterprise business head Ann Livermore at one point proposed several business commitments to be included in the settlement agreement when she and Catz spoke in the wake of Hurd's hiring in September 2010, Catz said. Among those was Oracle agreeing to continue porting its software to Itanium, a chip platform that is predominantly used by HP.
"I told her this was totally out of place in this agreement ... and that we were not going to do that, period," Catz told Judg[...]

Continue ReadingFormspring does a half-pivot, chasing the ‘interest’ trend
Posted by VentureBeat
Q&A site Formspring has added a few new features to shift its focus away from pure social media. The site is now asking its users to focus on topics and tags — you know, the monetizable stuff that marketers are going gaga over right now.
The changes are fairly simple and likely won’t interfere with how Formspring’s audience uses the site. In the top navigation, you’ll see a search bar. And there are Twitter trending topics-like tags in the right-most column. You can also choose to follow tags or topics you like. It’s not a massive, ground-up overhaul, for all the average user can tell.
“It’s not like we’re launching something that’s c[...]
