Microsoft launches "10" daily videocast
Legitimate media outlet or info-mercial-tainment?
That seems to be the question swarming around Microsoft's "10" like so many
black flies. 10 is a daily videocast with an unGoogleable name and one has to squint a bit—but not much—to
figure out that it's coming direct from Redmond. Hosted by ex-TechTV hosts Tina Wood and Laura Foy, 10 is "for
people who want to use technology to change the world" and features videos "highlighting people, their
passions and often the technology they are using." Today's video is about indie Internet radio station KEXP, and
about one minute in is when you'll hear the testimonial for Microsoft's IIS and SQL Server. No smoking gun, to be sure,
but I'm not holding my breath for them to feature some great site built on a LAMP stack. As a side note, if you load the site in
Internet Explorer you're served WMV videos, but if you do it in Firefox you'll get H.264. Hmm.[Via Digg]

Um wrong, those are ex-G4tv hosts, and never worked for TechTV.

Well, that's what I get for not watching more TV.

Is there some unwritten rule that geeky girls have to have hair reminiscent of rat fur?
