Well, a week into the new year and I am still dealing with a rather persistent cold I acquired back in Paris. I really had not anticipated the state of Parisian heating – that is, 19th century. Note to self, when renting apartments in future, always check to see if they remain above zero degrees after sundown. The sacrifices one makes for a nice view…
A glance at the Guardian this morning reveals a strategic partnership between Ford and Microsoft to put mobile computers in cars. Insert your own joke here, though I am reminded of the computer engineer’s suggestion for how to fix a car. It really does seem like a match made in hell – Ford’s diminishing reputation combined with Microsoft’s desperate efforts to become something more than a bloated-OS and Office manufacturer screams caveat emptor. Oh well, perhaps it’s just the bias of a Mac user, but frankly no good can come of this. I read somewhere that the majority of avoidable car accidents are caused when drivers lose their focus while fiddling with the radio – just imagine what the blue screen of death would cause.
