Got hired to shoot a Rob Dyrdek event for MSFT/Street League last week. Snuck in this hasselblad portrait during some down time.
As much as I love OS X, I doubt I’ll be getting a CMD-Q vanity plate for my Volkswagen any time soon.
Microsoft Surface is a series of tablets designed and marketed by Microsoft. It was announced on June 18, 2012, by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at Milk Studios in Los Angeles. The Surface comes in two versions: one with Windows RT and another with Windows 8 Pro. The Windows RT model uses an ARM CPU, while the Windows 8 Pro model uses an Intel CPU. Both models are able to install new applications via the Windows Store, however only the Windows 8 Pro model allows the installation of traditional third-party desktop programs.

“Skype screen share becomes premium; Google+ Hangout = free;” $MSFT $GOOG
I just went onto Skype to screen share for a conference but apparently after Microsoft bought Skype, all these features which used to be free comes with a $ sign. You can’t even just pay with credit anymore. To use premium features you must subscribe to a monthly €6.99/month or annual plan: €3.49/month.
Thankfully you don’t need to stick with Skype. First off, for video conferencing I have found Apple’s FaceTime (free) to have the best quality so this is where I do the actual video conferencing, which is free. Google Plus’ Hangout (also free) supports screen share so that is what I use to share the actual screen.
Relying on monthly subscriptions to drive revenue is terrible. Companies can make more money doing data analytics for businesses, I think. But some companies are filled with financial advisors who just want to make quick easy bucks. Ah well, shortsighted business people abound.
