...level of success that it has had in its software operations. The list of stories about Microsoft's failure to make progress in the search engine business stretches on and on. Not quite as well-chronicled are Microsoft's efforts to compete in the video game and portable multimedia player business. The Xbox has only started to make money recently and the margins are small. It was first introduced in 2001 and Microsoft has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in development and marketing, money that it may never earn back. It looked at Sony's (SNE) success with...
...Microsoft tried to get part of the portable media player business from the Apple (AAPL) iPod. It launched its Zune product and after an initial marketing push, the product is still available but posting only modest sales. Microsoft now wants another piece of Apple's success. It apparently is in talks to launch a smartphone with Verizon (VZ), which competes with AT&T (T). AT&T has the exclusive sales franchise for the Apple iPhone in the U.S., so, in theory, Microsoft and Verizon would each benefit from creating competition for one of the most successful cell phones in history...
...ironically, the Crimson’s attempt to find a solution to its most pressing current problem—the quarterback spot—may well involve looking backwards, to a player who was once a blockmate of Pizzotti and a member of the 2004 squad.

Hatch is attempting to get back to Cambridge to finish...
...wrong, I’m not delusional. I know Ivy League football pales in comparison to top tier conferences, but something has to be said for the fact that the Ivies are the only conference in the football championship subdivision (FCS) to have a player from each school in the NFL. So I think it only fitting to see how our Ancient Eight predecessors are faring in the big leagues.By my count, there are roughly 19 Ivy League grads (21, now counting Pizzotti and Bryant), who have had some NFL activity in recent years.The most notable of those would probably...
Suddenly, however, it all stopped. After leaving the New York Mets for the Los Angeles Dodgers after the 1990 season, drug and alcohol addiction killed Strawberry's career. He enjoyed a resurgence as a role player with the great New York Yankees teams of the late-1990s. But even that ride ended badly, with Strawberry in jail for using drugs once again. Now the ex-Rookie of the Year offers a raw, honest portrayal of his story in a new autobiography, Straw: Finding My Way. The book comes out April 28th: Strawberry talked to Time's Sean Gregory about abuse...
