Lippy game developer David Jaffe works for Sony. Don't you forget it! He makes SONY games for SONY consoles, not MICROSOFT games for MICROSOFT consoles. Yet, the website for Microsoft Messenger for Mac just so happens to to list a certain "David Jaffe" as a Yahoo! friend you can chat with via Messenger. Reader Bobby writes:

David Jaffe seems to be on MSN messenger's:mac friend list along with Kam Foo Aw (test manager for Office it seems) and Joe Andershak (Product Manager for Office developer technologies). Could just be someone with the same name for all we know. Did the colossal M do it out of respect? Perhaps Jaffe has a loves the program (enough to have his name in a screenshot, but not enough to use it). He's away at the moment, maybe we'll find out soon. Who knows.

Guess if Microsoft can't get you to design their games, they'll borrow your name for their website! Brian Ashcraft
