Re: [mention] Textpattern up for a .net magazine award

I sent out some emails to Future PLC, asking them when .net magazine was named.

By the number of issues, 193, divided by 13 per year = almost 15 years. So I don’t doubt the magazine came out in 1994, just wondering if it was called .net from it’s inception.

Re: [mention] Textpattern up for a .net magazine award

I used to write for the Italian edition of .net (licensed from the UK publisher) in 1998 and before that I was a regular reader since 1996, IIRC. The magazine was indeed founded in 1994 or so. Besides, the framework is called .NET. No, wait, the proper name is Microsoft .NET. End of story. :)

Maybe you should.

From Daring Fireball, this Steve Ballmer quote from April 2007:

“There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.”

I wouldn’t worry about anything he has to say. BTW, have you voted yet?

I do worry, since M$ has a way of changing the landscape with their acquisitions.

Yes I did vote, as I hope everyone who reads this thread does.
