Steve Ballmer: Microsoft-Nortel Press Conference

These Webcast simply talk about their partnership with Nortel and the key importance of Microsoft in most business company like Shell. I think Microsoft immediately decide to create a strategic alliance with telecoms because they have saw the powerful impact partnership with Apple and Cingular.

John Gokongwei Speech before Ateneo 2004 Graduates

I wish I were one of you today, instead of a 77-year-old man, giving a speech you will probably forget when you wake up from your hangover tomorrow. You may be surprised I feel this way. Many of you are feeling fearful and apprehensive about your future. You are thinking that, perhaps, your Ateneo diploma will not mean a whole lot in the future in a country with too many problems.
