GADS this is FUNNY as HELL.... She taped the nerd.

Microsoft denies new HD DVD drive
Today, September 22, 2007, 3 hours ago
Microsoft has denied there will be a new HD DVD drive next year or any new PC support, claiming a misquote. A Microsoft spokesperson also told me this morning that there will be no plans to incorporate HD DVD into the PC platform in the future.

Not too many people were paying attention to the briefing, but I was taking notes and a journalist on PCW's sister title, ComputerActive, can also confirm what I heard, especially since we discussed it afterwards.

Interestingly enough a female reporter, also present at the event, recorded the whole conversation on a Dictaphone.

What's a boffin or a swot? For sure geeks and nerds though!

[JoshW02@hotmail.co.uk]

Boffin generally means scientist and swot is generally nowadays a British term for a school aged child or teen who wears perfect uniform, gets and wears stickers and merit badges, nv misbehaves, and does all work. And they would usally get bullied.

Might I ask a question? If yes, what do these two posts have in relation to the original post?

That a female reporter taped a MS big wig making a statement then saying I never said that.

[Vistanoob]

Blame me. I got the wrong take on your post, because female was emphasized I thought that was the relevant point. (duh!) and from there it morphed into this little dialog.

Relevant in the FACT She had him on TAPE. it could have read

or

Interestingly enough a reporter, also present at the event, recorded the whole conversation on their cell phone.

I though it interesting that a FEMALE was the only one SMART enough to TAPE this jerk.
