[05:20] schestowitz[TR2] "Ive seen many people suggest that Asha Sharma being appointed to be the VP of Xbox was done by Microsofts Board of Directors. [05:20] schestowitz[TR2] While that is theoretically possible, it seems highly unlikely. [05:20] schestowitz[TR2] Historically at the company, transfers and promotions like this (Asha Sharma was already a Microsoft employee) are driven and approved by the hiring manager. Which, in this case would be Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella. [05:20] schestowitz[TR2] The Board stepping in to force Nadella to make this move would be highly unusual for Microsoft. Even at the VP level." ● Feb 22 [06:14] *lightbringer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [06:17] *MinceR` (~lb@iyhwsi75rjzuq.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Feb 22 [10:34] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

The EPC has been built on the ruins of four earlier European patent monopoly convention drafts under what was called then the European Community, now the EU. Those four drafts would have led to a closed convention as it" [13:09] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | G 1/25 (description amendments) amicus curiae: The battle lines are drawn - The IPKat [13:54] schestowitz[TR2]
