I don't edit. That's something I try not to do. Why? It reduces believeability. It's easy to skip over my parts, which are short anyway.

20 years at MS?   Wonder what his net worth is.  Wink


I think there has to be more respect due that he didn't just cut and run with the money when he vested - he must *really* love his job.  How many other people have been at Microsoft as long and still do day to day what they essentially did when they started?

Scoble - I could hear you just fine .. also you did edit a chunk out the middle ..


Yeah, well, I was a bit candid in there Smiley 

Edit's are a good thing.

But Scoble's talking about looping the audio - he won't do that, but he does make cuts.

The interview is pretty much as it was, without the bits that can't be made public.

Btw, here's Edie (my sister)'s description of what she does:

We run transaction processing systems that place government benefits on
debit cards.  (technically I'm supposed to say debit type cards but...)
  It's called Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) So what that really
means is that instead of printing food stamp coupons, food stamps and
cash benefits (TANF) now work similarly to your paycheck being direct
deposited to your checking account and you then use your debit/ATM card
at the store to spend money.  It's not the most technical explanation,
but it's easier for people to understand.  Because the feds (who run
the food stamp program) require that it be free for retailers to
participate in the Food Stamp Program, we provide POS terminals to
retailers that only process benefit transactions.  Stores can also use
their own store systems to connect to our system instead of taking our
limited terminals.  So, if you go to Target or WalMart, and you look at
the terminal in the checkout lane, there is a button for EBT or it
comes up as an option on the screen-- debit, credit or EBT.  Most
people have no idea what the EBT button stands for.  We also provide
the cards to benefit recipients, depending on what the state wants. 
All states currently use EBT instead of food stamp coupons at this
point.

ACS also disburses child support payments for states.  Non custodial
parent has child support taken directly out of his/her paycheck, we
process and transmit the child support payment to the custodial parent.
  And we run electronic toll collection programs-- EZ Pass in NYS and
other states is ours.
