Windows Phone 7 NES Emulator Barred
Looks like Microsoft is “pulling an Apple”; barring an emulator of the classic 8-bit video gaming system NES. Matt Bettcher has put some hard working into getting this emulator to work (video of it running after the break) and Microsoft has just shut him down. Matt is looking to drum up community support in hopes [...]
Exchange To Google Apps
Microsoft slaves rejoice, you can now migrate your entire company’s database of contact, emails and calendars from Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps.

Microsoft’s App Lab
I’ll give Microsoft credit, when they want to be funny they are funny. The Windows Mobile Dev team released this video giving everyone a sneak peak from their super secret application development lab of the upcoming apps that will be released on the new Windows Marketplace.

Xbox G4
I have seen my fair share of PC case mods, but an Apple case mod, especially one that encompasses a Microsoft created case, awesome. Inside this Xbox 360 Elite lives a functional G4 powered by an old Powerbook G4 867MHz processor. Modder Phil Herlihy had some spare 360 cases laying around and thought he would [...]
Slimmed Down Xbox
Once Microsoft decided to roll out the 360, they had no plans to offer a lite or slim version. One modder has decided to defy the laws of console gaming and build his own slim version of the original Xbox. The slimmed down Xbox is reduced by almost 2 inches in length, width, and height. [...]
Latest Microsoft Ad Without Jerry And Bill
There it is, the latest Microsoft ad without Jerry (Bill Gates is in this ad). Simple and sweet. I just hope they didn’t dump the entire $300 million into this ad. I could have put it together for them in Final Cut.
Bill Gates And Jerry Seinfeld – Episode 2
The second Gates-Seinfeld Microsoft ad made it’s way into homes today, and to be honest was a million times better that their first spot about absolutely nothing that kicked off the $300 million dollar campaign. We learned that Gates and Seinfeld are on a quest to reconnect with real people. The latest installment has the [...]
