Antes de vir pra cá havia conversado com um pessoal da MS em Redmond e do Brasil, e eles me pediram pra falar com estudantes aqui no Rio sobre possibilidades profissionais e carreira na Microsoft nos EUA. A palestra, de entrada franca, será na universidade Estácio de Sá, na Praça 11, perto do centro da cidade, dia 20 de Agosto, quarta feira. &lt;p&gt;Caso você esteja ou more no Rio, que tal dar uma passada lá? Além de ouvir um pouco sobre a vida e carreira na Microsoft, eu estou com um Xbox Dev Kit que pretendo usar para mostrar o mesmo demo do novo dashboard que foi apresentado durante a E3 e Gamefest. &lt;p&gt;Para maiores informações, dê uma olhada no site da Estácio de Sá: &lt;a title="http://agenda.estacio.br/?idEvento=20082008_SEMINARIO&amp;amp;Modo=link" href="http://agenda.estacio.br/?idEvento=20082008_SEMINARIO&amp;amp;Modo=link"&gt;http://agenda.estacio.br/?idEvento=20082008_SEMINARIO&amp;amp;Modo=link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+Palestra+na+Estacio+de+Sa+nesta+quarta+feira+(dia+20+de+Agosto)&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><category>Microsoft</category><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!629.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!629.entry</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:35:17 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!629/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!629.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-08-18T00:35:17Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>GDC 2009 - nunca cedo demais - 11 de Agosto é último dia para propostas de palestras!

Now it’s time to take on the working world. We know deciding where to start your career can be as nerve-wracking as it is exciting. Maybe you don’t know exactly what you want to do. Maybe you don’t even have a technology background. The good thing is, at Microsoft, you have lots of options. Nowhere else will you have such a variety of products and technologies to get behind—or so many career paths to choose from. You’ll learn from people who have been in the industry for over 30 years. And most of all, you’ll have the resources to reach people all over the world with your work. It’s about taking your career as far as you want it to go—in any direction you choose.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pBKQEx56_jPX-fon_n6tqQpXzfKbS5RAI8pxbgiuSh-Tij64AmMqcRO083IdVVvJO?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=26 alt="clip_image001" src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pN0DG-6XGEdFGONrT9fcPXShCPw0fLdql-bgFzaBHf6YXOzdOnlwor6LE6jNtKvKK?PARTNER=WRITER" width=48 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The variety of products that Microsoft develops greatly influenced my decision to work here.

The kind that inspires you. This is the kind of place where your goals are limited only by your imagination and motivation. What’s more, you’ll be backed by a multi-billion dollar company at the top of its game. It’s in your blood to innovate, so join others who share your passion, your talent, and your limitless energy.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1p0SkmYlT6-biBinZzNsx2xsZvnk0lmozYOdPkoIRtQwXft-7jO_2Au3eYqzg9rzy1?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=26 alt="clip_image001[1]" src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pFZcnETXtneIHOcMP7QekV5h5ZmKdVTiKoz1cgG8Wup1U5yu0h0fdNUp7uTFUH3o5?PARTNER=WRITER" width=48 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;You will find no other company with the sheer breadth of technologies, from Windows kernel, to Office applications, to servers, to Live Web services, to Xbox, to games, to business solutions, to hardware.

Have a look at the &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/college/fyp_prodcycle.aspx"&gt;Product Development Process&lt;/a&gt; to get an idea where your contributions could make the most difference.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Software Development Engineer (SDE)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a Software Development Engineer, you’ll make decisions about design and feature implementation. If you like to write code and design efficient data structures and algorithms to develop next-generation applications or operating systems, this is the position for you.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you’ll ensure a product’s quality by making sure it performs as users expect it to. Part of the fun is how creative you can be devising ways to manipulate, crush, and sabotage software into submission—while creating innovative testing technologies along the way. Ultimately, as an SDET it’s your input that can make the difference between joy and frustration for the customers. A great SDET demonstrates interest in customer advocacy derived from a holistic understanding of the product from the code level to delivery. Using the tools you create, you’ll pour over source code for trouble spots, debugging and isolating problems, and executing creative tests to find new bugs while regression testing recent fixes.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Program Manager (PM)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a Program Manager, you’ll drive the technical vision, design and implementation of next-generation software solutions. Managing feature sets throughout the product lifecycle, you’ll have the chance to see your design through to completion. Program Managers are advocates for end-users, so your passion for anticipating customer needs and creating outside-the-box solutions for them will really help you shine in this role. As a Program Manager you will have the ability to lead within a product’s life cycle using evangelism, empathy, and negotiation to define and deliver results. You will also be responsible for authoring technical specifications, including envisaged usage cases, customer scenarios, and prioritized requirements lists.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overall Qualifications:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;•Pursuing a BS/MS of PhD degree in Engineering, Computer Science or related field &lt;p&gt;•1-2 years experience programming in C/C++/C#, Java and/or other computer programming languages preferred  &lt;p&gt;•Functional level English language skills, written and spoken requirements  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whatever position you choose, you’ll make a real impact in the dynamic world of product development at Microsoft. Microsoft has an ongoing need for exceptional university students and recent graduates from around the world to help us build the next generation of software products.

It looks really cool, wireless and with blinking lights in it. &lt;p&gt;As you can probably imagine, singing is not the strongest in Randy (one of the SDET Leads in my team who works for me) and me, but we had to give it a try.&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+Lips&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!615.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!615.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:36:50 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!615/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!615.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-07-25T20:36:50Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>View&lt;myWorld&gt; site</title><link>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!611.entry</link><description>&lt;p title=". "&gt;A Microsoft tem um site chamado ViewMyWorld (Veja Meu Mundo) onde alguns de seus empregados falam sobre o que fazem na Microsoft, um pouco das suas histórias e suas experiências. Você pode ver muita informação interessante e compreender um pouco mais sobre a cultura da MS, e o que é trabalhar em Microsoft aqui em Redmond, sede da empresa.O endereço do site é este: &lt;a title="http://viewmyworld.com" href="http://viewmyworld.com"&gt;http://viewmyworld.com&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;p title=" - check the dude holding the PGR (Project Gotham Racing - race car) poster. :-)"&gt;Bem, me perguntaram se gostaria de participar do site, e aqui está o resultado final: &lt;a title="http://viewmyworld.com/EDD/" href="http://viewmyworld.com/EDD/"&gt;http://viewmyworld.com/EDD/&lt;/a&gt; - clique no carinha de casaco preto que está segurando o poster do PGR (Project Gotham Racing, o carro de corridas). &lt;hr&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Microsoft has a site named ViewMyWorld where real employees talk about their what they do at Microsoft, their stories and experiences. You can get a lot of interesting information and understand a little bit more about the culture and what is to work at Microsoft in the Redmond main campus. The address of the site is this one: &lt;a href="http://viewmyworld.com"&gt;http://viewmyworld.com&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;p&gt;Well, I was asked if I wanted to participate, and here is the final result: &lt;a title="http://viewmyworld.com/EDD/" href="http://viewmyworld.com/EDD/"&gt;http://viewmyworld.com/EDD/&lt;/a&gt; - check the dude holding the PGR (Project Gotham Racing - race car) poster.&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+View%3cmyWorld%3e+site&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><category>Microsoft</category><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!611.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!611.entry</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:22:11 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!611/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!611.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-07-23T06:22:11Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>E3 + Gamefest = muitas novidades sobre Xbox LIVE     (E3 &amp; Gamefest = huge  Xbox LIVE announcements)</title><link>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!609.entry</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pZNCSWeJtg3FIuCE6Fa3sf4sYNTU0CMxQmCNfdidLQjaTYs27GIlhkNduA9WyXO9q" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=169 alt="new dash" src="http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pZNCSWeJtg3FIuCE6Fa3sf4sYNTU0CMxQmCNfdidLQjaTYs27GIlhkNduA9WyXO9q" width=300&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Acredito que neste momento você já deve estar a par das mudanças que o grupo Xbox e Xbox LIVE está trazendo para o seu Xbox 360. Mas de qualquer modo, aqui está a lista dos destaques, na minha opinião: 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li title="Avatars: if you liked the Wii Miis, then wait for the Avatars. This is an old concept that the Wii used well, but we are going to take it to the next level; "&gt;Avatars (não sei como traduzir isto): se você gostou dos Wii Miis, acho que você vá adorar os Avatars. Este é um conceito velho que o Wii usou bem, mas nós estamos dando um (ou mais) passos a frente; 
&lt;li title="Party system: tired of having to invite your friends every time you switch games? What about sharing photos, watching a movie with friends, etc? "&gt;Grupos (ainda sem tradução certa): cansado de ter que convidar seus amigos todas as vezes você muda de jogo no 360? Que tal poder partilhar fotos ao vivo, assistir um filme com amigos em outros locais, etc.? 
&lt;li title="XBLA: Portal Still Alive: who did not like Portal? Maybe the cake is not a lie? = "&gt;XBLA: Portal Still Alive : quem não gostou do Portal?; 
&lt;li title="Netflix: why wait for the mail? Watch the movie in your Xbox! "&gt;Netflix: aqui nos USA um serviço muito bom é o Netflix, onde você recebe DVDs pelo correio. Agora invés de esperar pelo correio, poderei assistir filmes direto no Xbox; 
&lt;li title="Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata 2 : and my group is doing stuff for them; "&gt;Banjo Kazooie e Viva Pinata 2: meu grupo está ajudando estes jogos com algumas features; 
&lt;li title="You are in the movies! Create your own B movie! I think creative kids will have fun with it; "&gt;You are in the Movies (Você está no filmes!): Isto é um jogo/aplicativo novo onde voce  pode criar seu próprio filme classe B! Eu vejo crianças passando bom tempo com este jogo; 
&lt;li title="GH World Tour: the new Metallica album will release for the game and shops at the same time! "&gt;GH World  Tour: o novo álbum do Metallica vai ser lançado no GH e nas lojas ao mesmo tempo! 
&lt;li title="Lips: for karaoke fans! And my team is doing stuff for them too; "&gt;Lips : para fãs de karaoke! E meu time também esta ajudando este jogo; 
&lt;li title="Lips: for karaoke fans! And my team is doing stuff for them too; "&gt;Rock Band 2: kudos para o time da Harmonix por suportar que músicas do RB1 toquem no RB2. Além disto estão trazendo músicas do ACDC para o RB2; 
&lt;li title="Final Fantasy 13: who needs a PS now? :-)"&gt;Final Fantasy 13: quem precisa de um PlayStation agora? :-)&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p title="But watch it in action, better than just reading text: "&gt;Dê uma olhada no vídeo abaixo, melhor do que ficar lendo texto: 
&lt;p title=". And yes, this is the new face of Xbox 360 coming to you late this year. And I helped make this!"&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/8894D55F-A11F-47D0-8A75-434EE8DC5C1A/0/vidNXEe30801Hi.asx" href="http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/8894D55F-A11F-47D0-8A75-434EE8DC5C1A/0/vidNXEe30801Hi.asx"&gt;http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/8894D55F-A11F-47D0-8A75-434EE8DC5C1A/0/vidNXEe30801Hi.asx&lt;/a&gt;. E sim, esta é a nova cara do Xbox 360 que você verá no fim do ano. E eu ajudei a fazer isto! 
&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p title=". And yes, this is the new face of Xbox 360 coming to you late this year. And I helped make this!"&gt;By now you probably heard about the new features the Xbox LIVE group is bringing to your 360. In case you don't, here are some of the highlights (from my perspective): 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avatars: if you liked the Wii Miis, then wait for the Avatars. This is an old concept that the Wii used well, but we are going to take it to the next level; 
&lt;li&gt;Party system: tired of having to invite your friends every time you switch games? What about sharing photos, watching a movie with friends, etc? 
&lt;li&gt;XBLA: Portal Still Alive: who did not like Portal? Maybe the cake is not a lie? = 
&lt;li&gt;Netflix: why wait for the mail? Watch the movie in your Xbox! 
&lt;li&gt;Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata 2 : and my group is doing stuff for them; 
&lt;li&gt;You are in the movies! Create your own B movie! I think creative kids will have fun with it; 
&lt;li&gt;GH World Tour: the new Metallica album will release for the game and shops at the same time! 
&lt;li&gt;Lips: for karaoke fans! And my team is doing stuff for them too; 
&lt;li&gt;Rock Band2: you gotta love Harmonix for supporting backwards compat with the songs from Rock Band 1 and bringing ACDC songs to RB2; 
&lt;li&gt;Final Fantasy 13: who needs a PS now? :-)&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But watch it in action, better than just reading text: 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/8894D55F-A11F-47D0-8A75-434EE8DC5C1A/0/vidNXEe30801Hi.asx"&gt;http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/8894D55F-A11F-47D0-8A75-434EE8DC5C1A/0/vidNXEe30801Hi.asx&lt;/a&gt;.

A Microsoft vai fazer vários lançamentos durante a E3 e Gamefest, incluindo algumas novidades desenvolvidas aqui no meu grupo. No momento ainda não posso falar muito sobre elas, mas semana que vem eu entro em detalhes. &lt;p&gt;Mas depois destes eventos, vou tirar férias no Brasil, mais precisamente no Rio de Janeiro. Quem sabe não entro em contato com alguém da Microsoft Brasil pra trocar algumas idéias, ou alguém da UFRJ/PUC-RJ, pra conversar com alunos e professores sobre o que fazemos aqui, oportunidades de emprego, etc. Vamos ver - mas no fundo mesmo quero é curtir as férias! &lt;p&gt;------------------- &lt;p&gt;E3 will happen next week, and then in the week after there will be Gamefest (&lt;a title="http://xnagamefest.com/" href="http://xnagamefest.com/"&gt;http://xnagamefest.com/&lt;/a&gt;). Microsoft will be making some big announcements during E3 and Gamefest, including some breaking news that are being developed/created in the group I work at. Right now I cannot talk in details about these things, but shortly I should be able to provide details, pictures, etc. &lt;p&gt;But after these events I will be taking some well deserved time off, vacationing in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, to be precise. I will try to establish contact with some MS Brazil employees and exchange ideas and information. I will also try to contact the UFRJ and PUC/RJ universities in Rio, hopefully have a chat with teachers and students about what we do here at Microsoft, career opportunities, etc. But the ultimate goal is to enjoy a great vacation!&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+De+f%c3%a9rias+no+Brasil+em+Agosto+(Brazil+vacation+in+August)&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><category>Hobbies</category><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!608.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!608.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:39:19 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!608/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!608.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-07-11T22:39:19Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Boa sorte Bill - Good luck Bill</title><link>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!605.entry</link><description>&lt;p title="Today is a sad day at Microsoft, at least for me - Bill Gates is switching his focus to concentrate on the charity foundation he runs with his wife. I think it is very sad because the company is losing a very smart person, and I think the company really needs more people like him (why? that's another full blown blog article). I had the pleasure of being in 2 meetings with him (product reviews, years ago), and he was really brilliant at both of them. I could see that he was smart, had a great vision, pushed accountability and responsibility down the line, and did not tolerate ramblings or lies (he had a detector, really)."&gt;Hoje é um triste dia aqui na Microsoft, pelo menos para mim - Bill Gates está desviando seu foco para concentrar-se na fundação de caridade que ele genrencia junto com sua esposa. Eu considero sua saída triste porque a companhia está perdendo uma pessoa super inteligente, e tenho certeza que a companhia precisa realmente de mais pessoas como ele (porque? isto é papo para outro blog). Eu tive o prazer de participar em 2 reuniões onde o Bill estava presente (revisões de produto, anos atrás), e ele mostrou sua grandiosidade em ambas reuniões. Eu pude comporvar que ele era brilhante, tinah uma grande visão para a empresa e produtos, delegava responsabilidade para os empregados e gerentes, e não tolerava enrolação, mentiras, lero-lero e coisas do tipo, como se tivesse um detector na cabeça! :-) &lt;p title="With Bill leaving, the person I respect the most in this company now is probably Steven Sinofsky, a senior VP leading some of the Windows Live team, having previously worked in the Office and Windows Client teams. I have been in couple meetings with Steven, and he passed to me the same image I got from Bill, therefore the respect I have for both."&gt;Com o Bill saindo da MS, a pessoa que eu mais respeito na empresa atualmente passa a ser o Steven Sinofsky, um VP sênior que lidera o time trabalhando no  Windows Live, previamente trabalhado nos grupos do Office e Windows Client. Eu estive em reuniões com o Steven na época que trabalhava no grupo do Office, e fiquei com a mesma imagem e percepção que tive sobre o Bill, conseqüentemente eu tenho muito respeito por ambos. &lt;p title="I wish the best to Bill, and to Microsoft in the new era without BillG - I hope someone takes his spot and continue to drive what he started 33 years ago. I will miss him."&gt;Eu desejo muita sorte para o Bill, e para a Microsoft também, nesta nova era sem o BillG - eu torço para que alguém na MS tenha a capacidade e competência (difícil) para continuar e terminar o que ele começou 33 anos atrás. Vou sentir saudades dele. &lt;hr&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Today is a sad day at Microsoft, at least for me - Bill Gates is switching his focus to concentrate on the charity foundation he runs with his wife.

Enjoy.` &lt;p&gt;Really disappointed you did not participate in it, then join the Dream Build Play 2008 XNA Challenge, it is going on at &lt;a title="http://www.dreambuildplay.com/main/default.aspx" href="http://www.dreambuildplay.com/main/default.aspx"&gt;http://www.dreambuildplay.com/main/default.aspx&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+Vencedores+da+competi%c3%a7%c3%a3o+Dr.+Dobbs%2c+e+jogos+gr%c3%a1tis+-+Dobbs+Challenge+winners+announced%2c+and+free+games!&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><category>Games</category><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!604.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!604.entry</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:37:23 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!604/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!604.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-06-26T17:37:23Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Ubisoft vai abrir escrtório em São Paulo - Ubisoft is opening an office at São Paulo/Brazil</title><link>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!603.entry</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Um amigo meu me mandou a notícia abaixo da UOL Brasil anunciando que a Ubisoft está abrindo um escritório em São Paulo/Brasil.

The game seems to be a mix between flight simulator and war games. This seems to be a great combo, reminding me of great past games like Tie Fighter, Wing Commander, etc. I hope it is closer to the these games than the Flight Simulator franchise - I want fast action, not slow simulation.  &lt;p&gt;But what really drew my attention were the pictures in the magazine. The fighter models seem very accurate and realistic, but the background scenery was Rio de Janeiro, my hometown, including the neighborhood I was born (near the Maracana soccer stadium). &lt;p&gt;I still don't know much about the storyline in the game, but I am wondering what makes the game designers think that we would see jet fighters flying and firing missiles in the skies of Rio de Janeiro, considering that I don't think the Brazilian Air Force has anything closer to a F15 or F22 shown in the pictures below. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1f-Q2Bm0UVBfXDnBoCfDzH7n5Xg4aoATR7qkgyd3fsP2bvDp8ChW39hXzF4LIBYU0_5rMS84sOuHJNWKv5NT1B?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt=TomClancyHAWX2 src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DC5Uv0M57ljaVkdTs6UX0rubFxkMZXpSgS0Chjx9a2p9m-N6aMujjL2SJ9_Oxc_CR_fHMgJDvF_NMcMvSZnktMp?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1ecpwGChzXW5qpPaxOs_SOxplYNaZywVmcg02z1yBJ-i_O_meppnYKTGmyUxaY0IuS9hxWNOGff3ZeCVtCW9qB?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85673-assistance_mode_normal" src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DDy5PYpvqbLgWs1gGRRSvvbBNsJJ4MQdHlphYLM6PzW6sPiyHyUP96T_o0S86L3hNca36a1dtz7QhzJ7jk7AG2M?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1Fl1ZiZjzt-EwAir8rXF7ZDhs8BdkD3ldqP8DuSOussa8oXHWhx2q35o4Ix1H3Q6tAucHhMvcUAOutrcf7dj8C?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85682-multiplayer_normal" src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DBUbcwnGJBaFyHk52xHuBohrAwlSJk2p05TKfvcBHX7cUmZX-GUn_-YLndT1TIOXZquLtecbtewDGIPaHhMNQrV?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG2rjD-xXCQck8sS30Ybnc0X0lOx5kO94zYaS5ZWpjeUMBlaxDj9YMKMGcWLNCuwmxa_L9C8PKbMJ3ne47qBnPNS?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt=TomClancyHAWX3 src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DC5QBL4VL5RTzDk_Vtrx2GSdan6YWLa46qoU5uVRElxxMslaqAi5P6pFFXVUorMUerKvZ8D7sdnf5S7SAqLIVO7?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG0RSrsRwxIUiyVi7G1aZB5iyrBQccLhHQiyQQt7FbmxKTPI1D2AahpqQZSqyli4R3W5bl4iG-mFs4ienTpipSjB?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85676-Assistance_screen_normal" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DD9vpRZcwNtgpQHcf-k5kMD_BMKFeT01eU5fiRk_t7HVKKOj5Zs6zBUdQgeaH8ux2TQpw5WwLqaoqv8j5tkEn2c?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG2t-S67zPFu-uW84O1R8hsuGar0u3uMXvGJBKK-YyY_OciXlTAy66-86pm4GI9I1pFON1Q4rkJQf-1-s2R-37jW?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85679-ERS_normal" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DDOCPSw5NRdLBCONvMTU0ZzTaM76wJwO4OuVaeoA2OmTTveRS7C68_ZwwBobg09Ljn6-dNgaWBik5ZvUL4CYLcz?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In case you are not familiar with the city of Rio de Janeiro, here are some landmarks you can see in the pictures: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Maracana soccer stadium;  &lt;li&gt;Santos  Dumont airport;  &lt;li&gt;Rio-Niteroi bridge;  &lt;li&gt;Corcovado;  &lt;li&gt;Gavea horse race track.&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;I hope the city of Rio remains in the game by the time it ships, currently planned for Fall of 2008. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://translator.live.com"&gt;English - Portuguese&lt;/a&gt; &lt;hr&gt;  &lt;p title=".

Os modelos dos aviões parecem muito exatos e realísticos, mas o cenário de fundo era o Rio de Janeiro, minha cidade natal, incluindo a vizinhança onde eu nasci e cresci (perto do estádio de futebol do Maracanã). &lt;p title="I still don't know much about the storyline in the game, but I am wondering what makes the game designers think that we would see jet fighters flying and firing missiles in the skies of Rio de Janeiro, considering that I don't think the Brazilian Air Force has anything closer to a F15 or F22 shown in the pictures below."&gt;Eu ainda não sei muito sobre a estória do jogo, mas eu estou querendo saber o que faz os desenhadores do jogo pensar que seria possível de ver jatos supersônicos voando e lançando mísseis nos céus do Rio de Janeiro, considerando que eu acho que a força aérea brasileira nao tenha qualquer coisa parecida com um F15 ou um F22, mostrados nas fotos abaixo. &lt;p title=" "&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1f-Q2Bm0UVBfXDnBoCfDzH7n5Xg4aoATR7qkgyd3fsP2bvDp8ChW39hXzF4LIBYU0_5rMS84sOuHJNWKv5NT1B?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt=TomClancyHAWX2 src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DC5Uv0M57ljaVkdTs6UX0rubFxkMZXpSgS0Chjx9a2p9m-N6aMujjL2SJ9_Oxc_CR_fHMgJDvF_NMcMvSZnktMp?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1ecpwGChzXW5qpPaxOs_SOxplYNaZywVmcg02z1yBJ-i_O_meppnYKTGmyUxaY0IuS9hxWNOGff3ZeCVtCW9qB?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85673-assistance_mode_normal" src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DDy5PYpvqbLgWs1gGRRSvvbBNsJJ4MQdHlphYLM6PzW6sPiyHyUP96T_o0S86L3hNca36a1dtz7QhzJ7jk7AG2M?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1Fl1ZiZjzt-EwAir8rXF7ZDhs8BdkD3ldqP8DuSOussa8oXHWhx2q35o4Ix1H3Q6tAucHhMvcUAOutrcf7dj8C?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85682-multiplayer_normal" src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DBUbcwnGJBaFyHk52xHuBohrAwlSJk2p05TKfvcBHX7cUmZX-GUn_-YLndT1TIOXZquLtecbtewDGIPaHhMNQrV?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG2rjD-xXCQck8sS30Ybnc0X0lOx5kO94zYaS5ZWpjeUMBlaxDj9YMKMGcWLNCuwmxa_L9C8PKbMJ3ne47qBnPNS?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt=TomClancyHAWX3 src="http://byfiles.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DC5QBL4VL5RTzDk_Vtrx2GSdan6YWLa46qoU5uVRElxxMslaqAi5P6pFFXVUorMUerKvZ8D7sdnf5S7SAqLIVO7?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG0RSrsRwxIUiyVi7G1aZB5iyrBQccLhHQiyQQt7FbmxKTPI1D2AahpqQZSqyli4R3W5bl4iG-mFs4ienTpipSjB?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85676-Assistance_screen_normal" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DD9vpRZcwNtgpQHcf-k5kMD_BMKFeT01eU5fiRk_t7HVKKOj5Zs6zBUdQgeaH8ux2TQpw5WwLqaoqv8j5tkEn2c?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG2t-S67zPFu-uW84O1R8hsuGar0u3uMXvGJBKK-YyY_OciXlTAy66-86pm4GI9I1pFON1Q4rkJQf-1-s2R-37jW?PARTNER=WRITER"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="85679-ERS_normal" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DDOCPSw5NRdLBCONvMTU0ZzTaM76wJwO4OuVaeoA2OmTTveRS7C68_ZwwBobg09Ljn6-dNgaWBik5ZvUL4CYLcz?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p title="In case you are not familiar with the city of Rio de Janeiro, here are some landmarks you can see in the pictures:"&gt;Caso que você não seja familiar com a cidade de Rio de Janeiro, estão aqui alguns pontos da cidade que você pode ver nas fotos: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li title="Maracana soccer stadium; "&gt;Estádio de futebol de Maracana;  &lt;li title="Santos  Dumont airport; "&gt;Aeroporto Santos Dumont;  &lt;li title="Rio-Niteroi bridge; "&gt;Ponte Rio-Niteroi;  &lt;li title="Corcovado; "&gt;Corcovado;  &lt;li title="Gavea horse race track."&gt;Pista de corrida de cavalos da Gavea.&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p title="I hope the city of Rio remains in the game by the time it ships, currently planned for Fall of 2008."&gt;Eu espero que a cidade do Rio de Janeiro permaneça no jogo final, já que isto pode ser somente uma versão demo.

1942 is another classic game that is coming to the XBOX 360, not sure when yet, but you should see it soon available in the XBOX LIVE Arcade Marketplace. The game follows the basic idea of the original one, the the graphics and concept were improved significantly, as you can see in the pictures below. If you have access to the XBOX LIVE Partnernet and a development kit, the game is available for you to take a look at it. I played the first few stages and can say the game is fun, challenging as the original. I could see some moments where the performance degraded a bit, so I am hoping that before it gets released the developers will fix this and few others issues. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://translator.live.com"&gt;English - Portuguese&lt;/a&gt; &lt;hr&gt; 1942 é mais jogo clássico que está vindo para o XBOX 360, não sei direito a data ainda, mas acredito que logo logo estará disponível no XBOX LIVE Arcade Martketplace. O jogo segue a idéia básica do jogo original, os gráficos e o conceito foram melhorados significativamente, como você pode ver nas imagens abaixo. Se você tem acesso à XBOX Partnernet e um kit de desenvolvimento do 360, o jogo está disponível para que você dê uma olhadinha nele. Eu joguei as primeiras fases e posso dizer que o jogo é divertido e desafiante como o original. Contudo eu pude ver certos momentos no jogo onde a performance do jogo degradou um bocado - desde modo eu estou esperando que antes que seja lançado os programadores reparem este problema e alguns outros que pude ver na versão disponível na Partnernet. &lt;hr&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1e4kmCbZVHs96RXPhcZWP7jP0moNNKGL-w3Fhj-cDY-iutdgilgTyADR0QT_nSrspiP9OO8QB3ECfXfKOqsLsj?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="1942_2" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DAiJ05T7lQW2OypQUbXwZB01fHOamjRTmDhCCtBztskN9Fz3mgtjJlLYqW4mGc72yH6e0RQ1_lVefGMg1wIwK1u?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG1c_FFGwIR705PBtuWdZRLuWw4zyY0qznY75TDq7CRIwYmcx-I3MRQ2cOzJEeTpxLrgO3_KRTg0hJSMe9mCL8cC?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="1942_3" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DBtesY9mXD2yl7yWVC98qTi5mIAXEy_AsZdCO93rbOi7uW3yE-Ujg38BkpHDoJD21PGEoZB1k9CkNWri6Q4quiw?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG3M7s6wXkzMxCB1l595S4m3089VcdIcU8L3w8V3zxX-s44_V86c_lCurNAFZ5eQNFcxVREXQdp5puL91Aovu13K?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="1942_4" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DAXnsWY9uJxlFjyMHh6MEKMXG-xNgq2-k2zKV0hRJ4uNYksJmQcPGB-KszVxIzW7YbkJXEPgBHk7i0dPCZbZXgO?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG2XMHgCGP_pNB2TvY1N78L0_Zj_hrsIJvGJfwMpJGAFqrx4mUdyDAG6buX-vB-DT-nyE5N-APSG14UP-E4UKOxe?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="1942_5" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DDhPtDmQ3kh7Qdi_Itj1rd-k5JMxLlcqCwA1elfvbGehxh3ZRvetNpFRsD6pUyjtE9sGfY0Q7eFsLi4jfEaMGNf?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG0yFBIadjVNDVkLXdNod-ZwZNg_SJqFxcFFy7AN6TfOrfXwMYdso1mmkWxoQe42bk0f0HX3HdKszcSs_ZWPh9sa?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="1942_6" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DDT_EfzQDihQTZ_syvsrnWB3_mc6hggFAqUfSutV10guo6dJ7Pi9ZDDtCT3wW-D24S_j722c4PPF-WTEcKjIFU-?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bmbkpg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIZUwN_P4XG365xmWnbKXiaz922Krg5XTsQ58CNMyF6ay8hdKBvz8hgFbgWwWH4707oA_fTbP1ckSD9XbaWhAzDdoqH2svUrz?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=139 alt="1942_7" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DA2D7dmiXM6sO431ziE41vWlBh4VWbPKDthevPXCHUEmFDhBUC5zhOgvSt2i2S4ukan4IjVbVfoBs0ueyteDyRE?PARTNER=WRITER" width=244 border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+1942+for+the+XBOX+360+(1942+para+o+XBOX+360)&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><category>Games</category><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!575.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!575.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 03:19:24 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!575/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!575.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-05-27T03:19:24Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Wii Fit Part 2 - Nintendo rocks!

I contacted Customer Support and they recommended I took the game/board/console to the Nintendo shop in Redmond, as it seemed the console itself could have a problem. So I took everything to the shop, and the disc played nicely in the console they had there. They turned on mine and they were able to hear the noise it would make then trying to read the Wii Fit disc (only this one) - immediately they said it was a defective drive, and they would repair it even though the console was NOT in warranty anymore! So I left the console with them, and at the end of the day it was repaired, with a new drive inside the console. And better yet, I did not have to pay for it! &lt;p&gt;This is the second (great) experience I have with the Nintendo Customer Support - first one was with a Nintendo DS that stopped calibrating the screen after 6 months or so. With this experience, all I can say is that I am, more than ever, a Nintendo fan! &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://translator.live.com"&gt;English - Portuguese&lt;/a&gt; &lt;hr&gt;  &lt;p title="As I mentioned 2 days ago, I bought the Wii Fit, and when I tried to play it, I was getting a &amp;quot;disc error&amp;quot; message.

Eu contactei o Apoio ao Cliente e recomendaram-me levar jogo/placa/console à loja da Nintendo em Redmond, porque parecia que o próprio console poderia ter um problema. Assim eu levei tudo à loja, e o disco funcionou perfeitamente no console da loja. Ligaram o meu console com o meu disco e puderam ouvir o ruído que fazia quando tentava ler o disco do Wii Fit (somente este disco) - imediatamente eles disseram que era defeito no drive, e o reparariam mesmo que o console não estivesse mais na garantia! Assim eu deixei o console com eles, e no fim do dia estava reparado, com um DVD drive novo dentro do console. E melhor ainda, não tive que pagar nada pelo reparo! &lt;p title="This is the second (great) experience I have with the Nintendo Customer Support - first one was with a Nintendo DS that stopped calibrating the screen after 6 months or so.

After work I tried to play it at home, and immediately after putting the disc in the console it started to make some weird noises, like the one that a hard disk head makes when it is becoming faulty. After few tries, including cleaning the brand new disc, and trying other game discs to make sure it was not the console, I gave up and called the Nintendo Customer Support. After 15 minutes on the phone, the customer service guy created a repair order so I can get the disc replaced. It is true that the customer service works very well, and as Nintendo is also here in Redmond, I will try tomorrow to stop by and have the disc replaced (hopefully). &lt;p&gt;Truth is that I never had this kind of problem with any XBOX disc. I keep on hearing about the (lack of) quality problems that Nintendo has, but the media seems to prefer to focus on Microsoft problems, even if the Microsoft ones are less critical or important. But that's not the point of this blog - I want my Wii Fit, hopefully Nintendo won't let me down. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://translator.live.com"&gt;English - Portuguese&lt;/a&gt; &lt;hr&gt;  &lt;p title="Today, after dropping the kids at school, I stopped by a Target store and was able to get a copy of the Wii fit.

Depois do trabalho fui pra casa e tentei rodar o jogo, mas imediatamente após põr o disco no console, o Wii começou a fazer alguns ruídos estranhos, parecido com o barulho que a cabeça do disco rígido faz quando está ficando defeituosa. Depois de algumas tentativas mais, incluindo limpeza do disco novinho, e tentado outros discos de jogos, pra ter certeza de que nao o Wii console que estava bichado, eu resolvi ligar o Suporte ao cliente da Nintendo. Após 15 minutos no telefone, o indivíduo do serviço de atenção ao cliente criou uma ordem do reparo de modo que eu possa trocar o disco defeituoso. É verdade que o serviço de atenção ao cliente foi rápido e eficiente, e como Nintendo fica também aqui em Redmond, eu tentarei amanhã passar por lá e tentar trocar o disco defeituoso. &lt;p title="Today, after dropping the kids at school, I stopped by a Target store and was able to get a copy of the Wii fit.

Eu tenho ouvido falar sobre os problemas de qualidade que a Nintendo tem, mas a mídia parece preferir em se concentrar em assuntos relacionados à Microsoft, mesmo se os problemas da Microsoft são menos sérios ou importantes. Mas este não é a razão deste blog - eu quero meu Wii Fit, e eu espero que a Nintendo não vai me deixar na mão. &lt;hr&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-8498431843100089089&amp;page=RSS%3a+Wii+Fit+damaged+disc+-+(disco+do+Wii+Fit+com+problemas)&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=flotchat.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=FlotChat"&gt;</description><category>Games</category><comments>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!559.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!559.entry</guid><pubDate>Thu, 22 May 2008 02:41:08 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!559/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!559.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-05-22T02:41:08Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Seattle Summer - (verão em Seattle)</title><link>http://FlotChat.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8A0F8143EC26A4FF!558.entry</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Last weekend was the best weekend this year in the Pacific Northwest: not only the weather was great (sunny and 80s), there were lots of activities going on, like Seattle Cheese, Cirque Du Soleil, MS soccer league, etc. I wish the weather was like this more often during the year, instead of raining/cloudy from September to April as it normally is. The weather here in this region is so &amp;quot;boring&amp;quot; throughout the year (it does not get very cold, and it does not get very warm, therefore I call it &amp;quot;boring&amp;quot; as it feels to be always the same), the amount of sun that the population gets is also very small, which leads to the cases of depression in this region to be one of the highest in the nation! &lt;p&gt;Next weekend also seems very promising: it seems it will get warm again, there is the &lt;a href="http://sasquatchfestival.com/2008/"&gt;Sasquatch Festival&lt;/a&gt;, where The Cure, REM, Modest Mouse, Breeders, Kooks, etc., are going to play. Anyway, a friend of mine sent me this video from Youtube: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09tb8luF82c"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09tb8luF82c&lt;/a&gt;.

O tempo aqui nesta região é bastante &amp;quot;monótono&amp;quot; ao longo do ano (não fica muito frio nem muito quente, conseqüentemente eu chamo de &amp;quot;monótono&amp;quot; porque parece estar sempre a mesma coisa), a quantidade de sol que a população recebe é muito pequena, e isto tudo leva aos vários casos de depressão nesta região, um dos mais elevados na nação! &lt;p title=".

Dê uma olhadinha - é engraçado, mas ao mesmo tempo tem um fundo de verdade.

I was very happy about this date - a significant milestone in my career at Microsoft. Today Microsoft gives an award (a crystal) to every employee that reaches 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. years in the company. This changed some years ago - before then they used to give different awards, like the clock you can see in the picture celebrating 5 years. I like the crystal much more. I wish I had the 5 year version one, but I am happy with the 10 year one. &lt;p&gt;Another tradition at Microsoft is that every time a product you worked on gets released to customers, we get a small &amp;quot;ship it&amp;quot; sticker to attach to a base. I have 2 of these, with 13 ship-its total - each one reminds me of good old times I had at Microsoft in different organizations and products, like Exchange, Windows, Business Solutions, and more recently Home and Entertainment division (games and XBOX Live). &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DBzaUbSky63BpNn2TisOjZDMt225vaBGO2r7A4Z1GlOzYEqTq_VYObT3qWFGgs4FHaRYNBnViq2dbnIS0oAHuzi?PARTNER=WRITER" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right:0px;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;border-bottom:0px" height=177 alt="10 Years cake photo 3" src="http://by1.storage.msn.com/y1pJBZ4NJ1c9DA90OW40vvcrBbozG3p4sDWADB7JZFshCviFcCmcuCkvhnagmTGQlY5kv25p0y4QRbaHf10_5fFDFbjotdpcBze?PARTNER=WRITER" width=216 align=left border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Even though the crystal is a nice gift, the best part was the party and celebration to commemorate the milestone.

But I still have frozen cake at home waiting for my mother in law, who is coming to visit us in couple weeks and asked for a piece of it.  &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;hr&gt;  &lt;p title="As I mentioned some weeks ago, March 30th was my 10 year anniversary at Microsoft.

Eu estava muito feliz sobre esta data - um marco significativo na minha carreira na Microsoft. Hoje em dia a Microsoft presenteia um prêmio (um cristal) a cada empregado que alcança 5, 10, 15, 20 anos empresa. Isto mudou de uns anos pra cá - antes os prêmios eram diferentes, como o relógio que você pode ver na foto, que comemora os meus 5 anos de Microsoft. Eu gosto do cristal muito mais - adoraria ter a versão 5 anos também, mas eu estou feliz com o de 10 anos. &lt;p title="Another tradition at Microsoft is that every time a product you worked on gets released to customers, we get a small &amp;quot;ship it&amp;quot; sticker to attach to a base.

Eu tenho 2 bases, e 13 adesivos (a gente chama eles de &amp;quot;Ship Its&amp;quot;) - onde cada um dele serve como recordação de boas épocas que eu tive na Microsoft em organizações e produtos diferentes, como na divisão do Exchange, do Windows, Business Solutions, e mais recentemente Home &amp;amp; Entertainment (na área de jogos e XBOX Live). &lt;p title="!) to share with all team members."&gt;O cristal me agradou bastante, me deixando muito feliz, mas a melhor parte foi como o prêmio foi entregue a mim. Durante uma reunião de todo o time do XBOX Live, meu gerente mencionou a data importante para o time, e me entregou um bolo comemorando a data (&lt;em title="the cake is not a lie after all - if you don't get it, go play Portal"&gt;o bolo não é uma mentira - se você não entendeu a piada, dê uma olhada no jogo Portal&lt;/em&gt;!) para ser compartilhado com todos os membros da equipe. &lt;p title="The thing was huge, as you can see - I brought back to our space and left in our kitchen next day, and we took care of it.

I was a trainee at CVRD and worked there until early 1998. If I am not wrong, in 1997 or so the company became a public company, not owned by the Brazilian government anymore, and because of this the risk of a lay-off was eminent.

They don't believe me, but below is a chart that compares the performance of the Microsoft stock (MSFT) against the CVRD stock (RIO). As you can see, if I had used my money to buy CVRD stock instead of MSFT I definitely would be in a better financial situation (up to 16 times better!).   &lt;p&gt;I still believe in Microsoft as a company, but &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;I believe in Brazil as a country!

Eu fui um estagiário na CVRD e trabalhei lá até 1998. Se eu não sou errado, em meados de 1997 a companhia transformou-se uma empresa pública, não possuída pelo governo brasileiro, e por causa disto o risco de uma dispensa era eminente. A oportunidade de trabalhar na Microsoft apareceu e eu não podia recusá-la, mesmo gostando muito de trabalhar na CVRD/Docenave. &lt;p title="The reason for this article is that often some friends in Brazil ask me &amp;quot;so, you are a millionaire by now?&amp;quot;, and I answer them that this is NOT the case, and that sometimes I feel that if I had stayed in Brazil I could be doing better, at least financially.
