  • In yo’ face, Apple: Microsoft poaching Apple retail store talent with higher pay

    In yo’ face, Apple: Microsoft poaching Apple retail store talent with higher pay

    Man, things are hotting up in the Microsoft vs. Apple feud. The latest news is that, yeah, not only is Microsoft planning on, well, ripping off Apple's retail store model wholesale, but it also plans to hire Apple store employees. Microsoft has offered Apple store managers “significant raises,” and offered to cover any and all moving expenses. For the record, I'd be willing to work in the Microsoft retail store on Neptune if the company offered to pay my moving expenses!

    I’m leading a double life: I primarily use a Mac, but I just bought a Zune HD. (WHAT THE HECK?!)

    While waiting for our music ban to kick in (again, you'll all be receiving letters in the mail shortly detailing when and where you'll be expected to hand over your music-related goods), I spent Thursday thinking to myself: “You know what I really want for some reason? A Zune HD.” Seeing as though I'm strapped for cash—you saw the lengths I recently went to in order to upgrade my three-year-old iMac—spending $236.79 for the 16GB model was definitely a decision I did not take lightly. (I actually had to calculate when my next student loan payment was due before I committed to buying the device! So if you think, as some of you do for some reason, that we're “on the take,‚” I can only reply: lol.) The thing is, I primarily use a Mac, and last I checked, the Zune software—which is great, by the way, and makes iTunes look like an old dog—only works in Windows. What to do? Sure, I have Windows all set up on a separate partition, but I really only boot into it when I want to play, say, Half-Life or Deus Ex for a little bit. That is, I had no intention of switching over to Windows full-time just to be able to use a Zune HD.

    Oh now this is rich. Gillette—I think they're up to 44 blades per razor now—has teamed up with WWE to promote the dark art of male grooming. Why should you care? I don't know, perhaps you enjoy “social networking” and all that? Maybe you still watch WWE, long after The Rock quit, and long after Triple H... nope, wait, he's still main eventing (with the exact same gimmick, no less). You can listen to the likes of John Cena, Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes cut shoot promos, à la RF Video, about how using Gillette makes them confident.
