FreeBird··on Sony stock price spikes up 9% after Microsoft's Xbox One presentation
MSFT has been up nearly 30% in the last couple of months. Since stock goes down after any big reveal (see iPhone5 and Google IO), that's actually a good thing.

FreeBird··on Xbox, A New Generation Revealed (livesteam)
From the web:

"8 gigs of RAM, USB 3.0, Wi-Fi Direct, a Blu-Ray disc drive, 64-bit architecture and "practically silent operation." Super fast switching of TV inputs between TV, Gaming, Skype,IE etc. Runs the Windows NT kernel. Kinect 2.0 also gets a substantial upgrade. Whitten promised the integrated camera will have a wider field of view, and the sensor will be able to detect more joints, to include rotation of wrists and shoulders. "When you are exercising it can read your heartrate."

"Guys, this is not a dick-sucking contest. If you want to parse PE binaries, go right ahead.

If Red Hat wants to deep-throat Microsoft, that's your issue..."

What if that email was to a female kernel dev? What if a whizkid reads the kernel dev mailing list and goes asks their parents what deepthroating means?
