Microsoft Waning

Speaking of Microsoft's foibles (see Mad Builder's post below), the lumbering and none-too-bright giant is attempting to increase their retail penetration with two new brick and mortar stores. "Attempting to" is the key part of that sentence, because the new stores are to be located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and McAllen, Texas. I know nothing about Wauwatosa; apparently it's a suburb of Milwaukee, and it presumably means Cross-eyed Owl Flying Backwards or some other stupid shit in a defunct featherhead sub-dialect. McAllen, however, I do know about. It's the asshole of Texas. It is located on the Mexican border near the Rio Grande delta, and a kind description would be that it's a poverty-infested barrio which may as well be in Mexico.

Great market research, Microsoft! Combined with Ballmer's personal takeover of the Xbox One fiasco, this move should really accelerate your new ambition to become the tech market version of Braniff Airways.
