Nintendo 08/05/2004 10:39 AM
A German financial magazine, WirtschaftsWoche, reported Wednesday that Bill Gates said he was interested in buying video game giant Nintendo. Many Web sites and several news services picked up the report, and Microsoft Corp.'s public relations team shifted swiftly into gear for damage control and denial. Its corporate statement was that Microsoft did not comment on "rumors or speculation." Beyond that, the Microsoft view was clearly that the reported comments were out of context. The remark attributed to Gates was made during an informal cocktail reception after Microsoft's yearly financial analysts' meeting recently at the company's Redmond headquarters.

Forget Layoffs, Fire Them For Porn

Forget Layoffs, Fire Them For Porn 09/01/2004 01:26 PM
One writer at ZDNet UK is wondering if the porn excuse is being used as an alternative to laying people off. There are a growing number of stories about people losing their jobs for viewing porn on work computers, but the writer wonders how bad the offenses really are. He also notes that no one seems to complain when a company gets rid of people for porn, but layoffs seem like bad news all around. This seems like a stretch (and also seems to imply that almost anyone you'd want to layoff has been surfing porn on their work computer), but is still somewhat amusing. Maybe we'll have a different stat next to monthly layoffs: "fired for porn."
