Microsoft COFEE – Leaked and way over-hyped…

Written by geekE Management | Published on November 7, 2009
Torrents of Microsoft COFEE have been springing up everywhere and the hype is ridiculous.  Obviously, it’s illegal to pirate software.  Furthermore, the EULA for this particular software is limits it’s use to law enforcement officials only.  Other than that, most everything else you’ve heard about this stuff is false.

Unrecoverable data … recovered. Sidekick users probably don’t care any more.

Written by geekE Management | Published on October 19, 2009
The YoYo recovery process over @ Danger may be coming to an end.  Microsoft announced that it should have most contact information restored this week, with other stuff like to-do’s, notes and photos “shortly thereafter”.  Although I’m sure there are a few Sidekick users left, I wonder if this isn’t too little too late?
