| Microsoft Apologizes for "Big Boobs" Coding Gag We told you earlier this week that some random coder/joker wrote 'Big Boobs' in hex code and drew the wrath of humorless pundits over the sophomoric prank. Microsoft heard the outcry and issued an equally humorless apology for the PR mess. That disaster addressed, next up for Microsoft: World peace. "We thank the community for reporting this issue and apologize for the offensive string. We have submitted a patch to fix this issue and the change will be published in a future release of the kernel" http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/07/...bs_coding_gag/ |
