There are no cute women that work at Google, they come in cute and within 3 weeks they are fat, ugly, messy gnomes. Google does not allow any reflective surfaces inside so that they can see how messy their hair is. They never see the sun so they get all pale. Google puts food everywhere so you are forced to come there for breakfast until dinner so all you do is eat and eat to mask the stress until you turn into a blubber butt. Your eyes sink in from staring at LCD screens and you get dark circles under your eyes from looking at a single plane all day. You chew your hair and you get pimples... The women at Google are Gnomes...

Pretty funny, I found this via this link on a Spanish-language site: http://edans.blogspot.com/2...

... and almost believed his entry linking to yours, until I read the date.

Also a funny double entendre you've included: "...redefining evil to mean 'evil is 'whatever Scoble says is evil.'"

So now you're evil? ;)

Nice one. I was about to say congrats but then I was like wait a minute. Scrolled back to the top to look at the date...

Well, I may not agree with you all the time, but this is a fantastic April Fools joke. You actually had about a dozen people at my company talking about what legal actions Microsoft might take.

Well. That was so obvious. You really better not try for a career as comedian. That'd end in utter failure.

Hi Russell, you know, when you have my name *right there*, spelling it wrong is kind of silly.

As well, what part of "Scoble has nothing to do with Vista" aren't you getting? You appear to speak and read English fairly well, yet insist on acting as though every person at Microsoft works on Vista.

Now, you can believe anything you like, however, your belief does not in fact, change reality. Scoble in a tutu, spit-roasting cheerleaders and eating a baby for breakfast wouldn't affect Vista, so how is his blog going to do so?

It won't.

Let's recap...Scoble doesn't work on Vista, and your belief otherwise doesn't change that. You do not in fact, shape reality, and some time spent on that could help you with much in life.

Hi John C. Welsh,

Microsoft would make better use of their funds paying money to ship a Vista that doesn't suck, and on time, rather than paying Scoble to write something that occupies space, and does nothing more.

If Google really did offer you a job,
would you go?

Re: Announcement, I’m going to Google

John C. Welch — Sun, 02 Apr 2006 12:18:59 -0000

Um...Russell...Robert doesn't even work directly for the Vista team. He's an evangelist. Short of being a gopher for the programmers, exactly WHAT is he going to do?

As well, even if he was...I don't want code written by people pushing 100 hour weeks. All that does is guarantee buggy, craptacular code. There's a reason why Unions pushed for a weekend. You need some "away" time from work. Otherwise, your brain turns to mush.

Had me worried there for a sec...

Luckily though, when I didn't see any mention of Chuck Norris, I knew it couldn't be real.

Hi Robert,

It apparently doesn't help Vista ship any sooner.

farlane — Sun, 02 Apr 2006 08:06:57 -0000

I agree that a day off for the news is a good thing, Robert. It'd be great if someday we could get to a world where such a thing was possible for everyone.

Russell: I am not a coder and never said I was.

The job I get paid for is over on Channel 9. http://channel9.msdn.com -- hope that helps.

Hi Robert,

You write stuff here during the week for Microsoft so a Saturday post is different how?
Is there some disclaimer I'm missing?
Let me know, thanks.

And it still sucks that Vista is shipping late.

Are you a coder?
You should spend more time coding.

Russell: I wrote this on Saturday. It's my own time, thank you very much!

Larry Page just called to inform that he is joining Microsoft.

Russell Bassman — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 23:45:41 -0000

Microsoft spends company money to pay you to write this stuff?
No wonder Vista is shipping late.

Bob: it's good that the blogosphere takes a day off once in a while. It gets tiring trying to keep up with it all.
