Happy Friday everybody! A few weeks back, our buddies at on10 put together a video about life at Microsoft. In case you missed the video when it dropped: Life At Microsoft - The Truth Revealed It's actually pretty accurate funny ;)

Over the weekend, Zune partnered with MSN to help sponsor MSN's Live Earth Concerts . MSN teamed up with former Vice President Al Gore and concert producer Kevin Wall to promote and broadcast the Live Earth series of concerts, which happened all over the globe: Sydney, Tokyo, Hamburg, DC, London, and NYC. Check out the videos here .

I saw the WWDC coverage on Engadget a little bit today and noticed that Entertainment and Devices (the division of which Zune, Games for Windows, and Xbox are a part) got two mentions in the Keynote: John Hodgman, playing "The PC Guy" referenced the brown Zune, and then John Carmack from id software said they’d have next gen game-tech Mac, PS3 and Xbox at E3. Sure, the first mention was typical Jobs sarcasm, but we’re clearly on his mind these days. And hey, we’ll happily take the publicity from...

Some (very vocal) folks are wondering about firmware updates. Or at least the communication around them.I had actually chimed in a previous post . But it's worth updating/restating here: As far as the silence around firmware updates. I feel your pain, and I understand how frustrating the silence is. Honestly though, just because there's no word from the me/team, doesn't mean we're not listening, and that the dev team isn't working hard. Right now they'd rather be heads down and make improvements...
