Last week was a busy week that seemed to be filled with crazy people — some in a good way, most not so much. The most annoying story was that Cisco is shutting down its half-billion-dollar Flip acquisition after screwing it up. On a positive note, Microsoft surprised us at its MIX conference with Windows 8 running on ARM and an IE 10 prototype on steroids that made the new Chrome browser beta look obsolete. Speaking of Google, it is now being blamed for destroying Britain’s film and music industries and ripping off Steve Jobs.
