Programming might be fun as LEGO!

MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten research group (what a cheerful name ^^) has introduced Scratch, a programming tool used to teach kids how to program. Of course it would be fun for adults, too. Give it a visit and be amazed what the kids are making :-)

Have a nice day scratching (^^)

Microsoft in China

Found an interesting (but a bit lengthy) article about Microsoft's business in China here.

As I once commented in an older post, Microsoft gains a lot of its market share from software piracy. Seem that even Mr. Gates agreed with me.
"It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not," Gates says.
