No one can resist the smell of cooking bacon — at least that’s what Microsoft is hoping. In an attempt to recruit developers to work on its Kinect for Windows Engineering team, Redmond is employing a rather unusual strategy.

The cart will be strategically located in places where techies are likely to walk by –starting with the sidewalks near Amazon’s Seattle headquarters.
