Talk A Good Game: Didn’t Talk Enough

Posted on December 13th, 2005 by Tyme White in Business

“I don’t spend time on Blogs because there rarely any useful information on them, like this one. It’s just people spinning fabrication out of idle imaginations.”
That is a portion of a post that the owner of Talk A Good Game left on The Microsoft Show. Shortly after that post, he said after the chaos was [...]

My step-dad has an Xbox 360 and I can prove it

Posted on July 20th, 2005 by Tyme White in Technology

I’ve had these pictures for a day or two and I should have posted them.

It seems a kid was real enthusiastic that he got his hands on a Xbox 360’s developers kit and decided to brag about it, then post pictures for proof. When the validity of the pictures were challenged he decided to post [...]

Employee power

Posted on June 10th, 2005 by Tyme White in Business

Cameron Reilly made an insightful post about Robert Scoble and the problem if employees at Microsoft haven’t heard of Robert. He also compares the salary Robert receives to an advertising agency. No matter how much Robert makes it doesn’t compare to what an ad agency receives.
I agree with what Cameron wrote, Robert has a lot [...]
