Mr. Gates,The Gates Notes Podcast needs an RSS Feed!

Posted by geeknews at 3:58 PM on January 20, 2010

Mr Gates welcome to the world of podcasting I am very excited to have the chance to subscribe to your content series. Sadly your newly launched website does not have an RSS feed. As you well know, to get your content onto mobile media devices like the Zune through the Zune MarketPlace and even iTunes, your podcast content needs an RSS feed with enclosures so that we can subscribe.

My team at RawVoice would like to extend a helping hand if needed to get your content “podcast ready”, so that your content can be easily syndicated and consumed worldwide. I am sure you have a fabulous tech team and will not need any assistance although my offer stands, so please give them a nudge and tell them to get your content podcast compliant.

When your team gets your podcast content in compliance have them reach out to rob@zune.net, he will make sure your show gets listed in the Zune Marketplace ASAP.

Let me finish by saying welcome to the world of podcasting!

Happy Birthday Bill Gates

Posted by Jeffrey Powers at 9:27 AM on October 28, 2009

As I mentioned on my show “Day in Tech History”, today is Bill Gates Birthday. He was born in 1955. Of course, we all know the history of Bill and Microsoft. 30 years later (1985), Gates puts Microsoft up for Initial Public Stock Offering.

Happy 54th birthday Bill!

No HARD questions for Bill Gates how come?

Posted by todd at 3:07 PM on December 14, 2006

I am really disappointed with the Bloggers that went to Microsoft yesterday and got to meet with Bill Gates. I was pretty excited to read the commentary on their blogs but highly disappointed that none of them asked hard questions.

Frankly it pisses me off that none of them could ask a hard question, here are a few question that I would have asked.

Why is the Wifi in the Zune Crippled?
What are the changes to the Zune that will be made due to the public bashing Microsoft has taken?
Why has Microsoft Ignored Podcasting?
When is Microsoft going to live up to a promise to make Windows security a #1 priority?
Why is Microsoft ignoring Citizen Fair use Rights and buckling to the RIAA and MPAA?
With it’s worldwide dominance why does it take so long to get a new Operating System out of Redmond?
When will Microsoft put security tools on the Windows desktop that really protect consumers, versus face saving applications that have been released today that are ineffective?

In my humble opinion these are hard questions that are worthy of being asked of one of the most powerful business men in the world. I would not have asked what’s on his Zune as Steve Rubel did, he should of asked how come Microsoft launched Zune when it was clearly not ready!

What serious questions would you have asked Bill Gates. I will compile your list and post them here next week and then mail them off and see if he can answer questions that come from people that are passionate about Microsoft Technology and not what’s on his Christmas list. [www.micropersuasion.com]
