Growing with the trends.
Catching the latest in commercial ad marketing between scenes in the latest greatest crime drama I began to ponder about, as pondering usually ends up, the good old days. I remember the good old days when my mom was into QVC. If you haven't heard of it QVC is a television shopping network. We were forced to sit and watch as the next big deal would come into the screan and watch while the sales people would pitch thier product. QVC was where I got my Sega Genesis game console. What lead me to this line of thought was ebay's new commercial "It".
Over the years modern consumerism has changed greatly. From the JCPenney and Sears Catalogs to television shopping networks to Amazon.com and ebay. ebay has made it their purpose as a business to be everything to everyone as seen in their latest wave of commercials. They don't do this with any concrete product of their own, but by allowing people all over the world to offer theirs.
That is software engineering at it's best.
Until next time

More BS from MS
Well, leave it to microsoft to stay in the back field on a trend and then jump on the band wagon in the last moments. Sort of like the time Gates said:
"The Internet? That'll go nowhere." [my paraphrase]
So, if you are anybody that is in anyway familiar with web development trends then you've heard of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) [ever hear about Google Maps?]. Well MS is finally on the bandwagon, BUT, they can't stand to be on the coat tails of anyone so they have taken the liberty to push MS AJAX development under their own monicker: world MS would like to introduce you to the one and only original never before seen Atlas.
So much for the internet huh? And this is just more evidence of the bottomless innovation of our good friends at MS, and that's no BS.
Until next time,
