Gates flashes bedroom eyes at Vancouver
As you know there’s nothing sexier than the owner of a software company, and the sexiest owner just happens to be the biggest… errr… owner. Anyway the CBC is reporting that Microsoft is going to be opening a Vancouver software development centre [cbc]. That’s actually very exciting, because it means jobs and pretty good jobs too.
The reasons, aside from the still favorable exchange rate, is our immigration policies are a bit easier to deal with than the US’s and is going to be used to attract programmers from Asia specifically.
Barring any rebel attacks they hope to have the Deathstar up and running by September. Or I mean the development centre. What am I doing mixing sexy Bill Gates metaphors with evil Imperial Microsoft metaphors? Damn that Bill Gates and his tight, tight pants, he’s got my head all a twirl.
Where in Vancouver are they launching their Death Star?
The CBC says they’ve got a place lined up but they haven’t gone public with it. Probably the ‘burbs, just incase rebels try attacking it.
As a side note, the Canadian University Press (a group of university newspapers) has a line item in their budget for $1 a year that is put into something called “The Death Star Fund”. The intent is to actually build a Death Star.
