As a part of its advertising campaign for the company's new Office Accounting Express application, Microsoft is hosting a technology startup company competition reminiscent of TV's Apprentice and World's Best Inventor (or whatever that show was called). Once a winning startup is selected and their market has been proven, Microsoft will release something very similar but uglier, cheaper and with DRM and drive the startup out of business. We kid, Microsoft! It comes from a place of love! The winning startup actually gets $100,000 in seed money and a Manhattan store-front for a year.

As previously alluded to, Seattlest is unabashed in our love for television. We tend to gravitate toward the good stuff, but we are by no means too highbrow to watch reality TV. Case(s) in point: the gloriously addictive trainwrecks known as Surreal Life 5 and Being Bobby Brown. For us, the viewing of such apocalypse-heralding fare is merely a spectator sport; that is to say, we've got no aspirations to be the castmember who actively works to alienate everyone in the house. While Seattlest is certainly not sociopathic enough to vie for a spot on a reality show, we cannot assume the same is true of our readership. For that reason, we feel the need to announce that America's Next Top Model will be holding auditions in Seattle next week.

After the heartbreak of Willard's premature ejection from Survivor, we were primed and ready for Seattle's Alex to continue his quiet rise to power on The Apprentice.

Seattle's own Alex continued his run of inoffensive niceness (aka flying under the radar) on The Apprentice last night, thus staying alive for another week.
