Developing A Windows Operating System Entails Harming 37 Cell Phones
"There are certain health concerns (mental and physical) a development team is willing to do battle with in order to provide device makers and application developers with the best Windows Mobile� software platform available. Courtesy of the Windows Mobile development team, here is a list of their top �fun� memories tied to the development of Windows Mobile 5.0."
Some very interesting facts in this little PDF from the Windows Mobile team. If you thought that you were not a serious programmer because your workstation was filled with fast food containers, it may soothe you to know that even those at Microsoft succumb to these universal developer traits!

Aww, that was cute!
Nice humanising effect, too, getting a little backstage tour of what it must have taken to create WM5.
Next time I feel inclined to go off on some "not thinking about the customers", "faceless corporation" rant, I'm going to remember this and the fact that some very bright and imaginative people put a lot of hard work into making these devices do neat tricks for me.
