giotto-coffee-maker-ecm.jpgI came across a guide to creating a successful startup today and it makes an interesting read. Any of you budding entrepreneurs should definitely check it out! I know I’ll be bookmarking it for reference.

Tips include using Macintosh computers to save on IT department costs, free in-house lunches to simulate meetings and purchasing a professional coffee machine to save on coffee-trip time(I don’t need to be told that one twice!).

Find it over on calacanis.com.

In a desperate attempt to replace Beach House Barbie on top of the most wanted list for young girls toys, Microsoft has (apparently) decided to grace its Japanese customers with a Pink-boxed bundle of Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Live Onecare.

The competition commission should be interested, as they are blatantly using their supremacy in the Operating System market to get a hold on the young-girls’ toy market.

(I also feel there’s a joke about ‘If apple can make pink stuff, so can we’ somewhere. Suggest yours in the comments…)
