<p>Is it possible that Microsoft is partially staffed by developers who are, literally, 12-year-old boys? Maybe we're dealing with a <em>Big </em>situation, here? Because we're pretty sure that's the best possible explanation for this, <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/microsoft-code-contains-phrase-big-boobs-yes-really">from <em>NetworkWorld</em></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Some chucklehead working for Microsoft thought it would be funny to slip a thinly camouflaged sexist remark -- "big boobs" -- into software code that connects the Linux kernel to Microsoft's HyperV virtualization product."</p></blockquote>
<p>We could easily work ourselves into a tizzy over this. But instead, we'll take a cue from our unflappable high school principle and say: Guys, <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/06/the-100-sexiest-tumblrs/">we work on the Internet</a>. It's going to take a lot more than some juvenile reference to titties to shock us.</p>
