[Note: another one I wrote several days ago, and am just now posting. Obviously, I was wrong about the display.]
Listened to latest The Talk Show today, and there was an interesting note in there.
It was about Microsoft, and being perceived as an underdog. And the fact is, Microsoft was never an underdog. Even when they were a tiny company, they had a deal to be provided on all IBM PCs (Gates' dad was a lawyer with IBM, undoubtedly the in to get that). So even when they were that tiny, there were still not an underdog.
Also, I agree that a 4k display will be introduced alongside the Mac Pro. They just made too much of a big deal about having ability to drive 4k display to only have ones by other companies available.

Not Every Dog Has His Day
The Dogs were not served last night in the national semifinals. VCU and Kentucky both went down, although both games were quite good.
The Butler/VCU game actually left me with an ambivalent feeling. It was good to guarantee that the two underdogs would play each other, in that it guaranteed one of them would play for the title. But it was bad in that it didn't give them a chance to both knock out another top seed, and be able to play one another for the title.
In any event, I was happy to see Kentucky go down. I was disappointed about VCU, however. I was hoping that they could continue their run. Like George Mason, five years ago, I had a feeling they were going out, but I was definitely hoping the feeling was wrong.
In any event, major kudos to the Rams for showing so many other teams their horns. I hope that they'll do a bit better next year than GMU did the year after their run (winning their conference but wiping out in the first round of the tournament, as I recall).
In any event, Butler/UConn tomorrow night promises to be a good game, as well. Unfortunately, if I were a betting man, I would put my money on UConn. But we'll hope for one more for the dogs.
