Microsoft&#8217;s next operating system, Windows 7, is available to the public October 22. So why not host an awkward launch party for a perfectly diverse group of your friends? Microsoft made an unbearable video tutorial to get you going.

Microsoft&#8217;s CEO seems determined to live out a career of comical self parody. Steve Ballmer, who suppposedly hurled a chair in an anti-Google tantrum, has acted out his iPhone rage in a Seattle stadium. How Big Brother can you get?
After spotting some stray tweets about the incident, Todd Bishop of TechFlash dug up the tale: [...]]]></description>

The company&#8217;s Chinese expansion hasn&#8217;t been easy: they&#8217;ve been shamed for giving into government censors and continue to play second-fiddle to a state-supported competitor. And now they&#8217;ve lost their regional leader. What will become of the company?
