Xbox strategy exec becomes Apple educator
15
Microsoft's Xbox strategy executive in Europe, Richard Teversham, has joined Apple. MCV reports that Teversham's core job is an "education-related role" at the corporation of iThings. The executive had been with Microsoft for 15 years and played a major role in the life of the Xbox, which may assist him in dealing with the iPhone/iPod Touch portable gaming devices. The company is currently seeking a replacement.

1985 - Nintendo please stop trying to get into the gaming business we dont want you
1995 - Sony please stop trying to get into the gaming business we dont want you
2001 - Microsoft please stop trying to get into the gaming business we dont want you
Give them a chance. Sure it's all casual stuff, but, hey, let them have their niche. I mean it's not going to make your precious PS3 disappear.

It's a shame that "we" don't want them. Good thing Apple has a few million iPhone users to make "us" irrelevant.

"you guys think you have a console wars now?
wait until the mactards come...
sigh."
This. Lurking around Engadget, it's fairly easy to see how zealous a mentality Apple's marketing rhetoric creates. Seriously, never have I seen a company so able to create automonous marketing drones, in the form of their fans. You don't even have to browse tech websites to see them. You're bound to know at least one - the kind that try and assert Apple's superiority in every sentance they can manage it, and seem to think that their white plastic macbooks are faster than your top end gaming rig, because "macs are faster".

Most people with jobs in the tech industry eventually leave for other companies. It's pretty standard.
