It's been a long time since I've seen a shot with an open street that close to the Food Court/Carousel area. That's now a closed off pedestrian area with Urban and Barnes and Noble anchors. So strange. That picture of The Woodlands Mall is over a decade old! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a shot with an open street that close to the Food Court/Carousel area.

What turned me off to MS was mostly home use, AAPL is so much better when kids are involved, yeah I know that’s not cool or hip.

If you judge code based on megabytes I feel sorry for you. If you brought up task manager while running office I doubt it would take 2GB of ram, you know because you don't put all of the resources and tools of an entire office suite into one executable. You should ask apple why Pages is 350megs. Wow Corey, I bet your programs written in assembly are just awesome! If you judge code based on megabytes I feel sorry for you.

It's the patch it methodology, patch over patch over patch, eventually you just have to throw out the garment/pair of jeans and start fresh with some decent coding to begin with. Compared to other developers M$ is just plain messy and unkempt, and guess who gets to beta test their slop, you do. I code as close to the metal as I can, eschewing middleware, and other niceties for code that is clean, works, and is solid.

I wonder if these "pop up" stores will be reusing old store fixtures. Lol I see Microsoft has gone in the direction of the temporary Halloween costume, Christmas decoration, and calendar stores.
