I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I first saw this commercial on TV last night... but out of sheer curiosity, I am compelled to see the rest as they come out!

Jerry Seinfeld ran into Bill (yeah, Gates) shopping for some shoes and decided to drop in to give him some tips. Don't take my word for it, though, check it out... or take my word for it.

Does anyone else really want a churro now??

I’m a gadget freak but I just learned that a lot of cell phones can capture videos! Typically I would use my camera or use a Flip Cam but Luke showed me how to do this and it is super easy on a Windows Mobile phone like the Samsung BlackJack 2 or on a HTC Diamond Touch. I’m betting other cell phones can do the exact same thing too!

Q: What is it?

A: The upcoming latest release of the Need for Speed game franchise by Electronic Arts (EA); Need for Speed: Undercover.

Q: What's so special about this?

A: Siiiick cars (not just game-like replicas, but the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution really is the Lancer Evolution, as is the Audi RS4, etc.), cop chases, ridiculous graphics, and live-action sequences to really get you into the storyline. We all know I love cars, so for me this is huge!

More of this 8x8... after the break.

Understanding Server Core

With windows Server 2008 coming to DreamSpark in only a few weeks, I thought it would be prudent to develop some reference matieral for those of you who choose to deploy the Server Core installation option. Server Core provides a great subset of the Roles and featues available in the full product, but requires a much less powerful system to perform well.[more

Since it seems to be tradition for summer interns to make a video during their stay, a couple of us felt it wouldn't be right to leave without personally contributing to the cause.

So after an e-mail sent out at 4:50 pm, planning/filming from 5:30-7:30, and 2 days of editing, we present to you our video - "The SPY".

Someone tries to sneak in and steal top secret material from Microsoft.

Do they succeed? Do they fail?!

Michael, one of my friends getting his MBA from the University of Texas, scored an internship here at Microsoft for the summer in the Windows Business and Marketing Organization (BMO). He invited me over to our Lincoln Square office to see how things were going for him, one of his colleagues, and his manager.

Let's just say, this visit was pretty educational... make sure to stay tuned to the very very end after the closer as usual Wink .

If you're interested in finding out more about getting your own internship here, I'd head over to our college recruiting portal or the MBA intern site.. Tell them Max sent you!
