MS seeks senior spook to score Federal security $$$s | |
|
||
| Time: 18:25 EST/23:25 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||
|
Microsoft is seeking to hire a high level executive whose role will be "to position Microsoft as a strategic partner to the [US] government in using our products and technologies to build Homeland Security solutions." Or, as the lead-in to the help-wanted ad less modestly puts it: "The Director of Federal Homeland Security will partner the world's most successful software company with the world's most powerful nation in using innovative and agile technology to prepare, detect, prevent, protect, respond, recover and manage against terrorism." When not steering an alliance between the world's two remaining superpowers, the director will lead the Microsoft Homeland Security Leadership team (which we'd never heard of, possibly because it's only just been invented), and seems to be expected to combine intense lobbying of the Office of Homeland Security with acting as Microsoft's 'Face of Homeland Security' to the press, at conferences and through white papers. | ||

| Just for the record, Microsoft has $50 BILLION (yes, that's a B, B I L L I O N). Clinton wants a measly $50 mil. That should just about cover his hooker/std medicine/paternity fund. |

#10 - I'd be curious if you actually had some proof behind that accusation. My guess is no. Would I be right?
#9 is correct. With unemployment rates now at their highest point since 1994, people are starting to realize just how great a president Clinton was. |
