Economic Uncertainty Leads to New World Order?
With the instability in the US market trialing into the world market, we need to caution ourselves. One wrong move from America, or any other county for that matter, cold lead to disaster and push our fanatical wows over the top. The world market would be devastated if there were another event like 9/11. So [...]
Today's Steve-Note Separates Fact form Rumor
Summery of today’s Apple ‘Let’s Rock’ keynote. iTunes is the #1 music software and is getting a update with version 8. There is now HD content (about time) in the store priced decently at $2.99. There is a new way to browse you content in iTunes, which makes it look a lot more like the [...]
Update to Update!
As I said, I will keep you all up-to-date on the developing home situation. The house that we went to look at, and were trying to finance has also fallen through. We are now on to option C, which there is no option C as of now. We are going to move for sure, we [...]
Update!
Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a second and let you all know what is going on. The last couple of weeks have been crazy and thinks have not been going all that great for Jennie and I. First, as many of you know, Jennie and I have been trying to buy a house [...]
Cuil to Take on Google?
It seems like these days competitors to Google are coming out of the woodwork. Awhile back, I introduced Powerset, who is now a property of Microsoft. Powerset is bringing back the concept of synaptic search, while a new search engine, Viewzi is focusing on a different concept. Viewzi brings search to a new light with [...]
The Next Depression?
Are we heading down the road towards another Great Depression? There are many signs that would make it seem so… The dollar is losing its worth while the price of gas goes through the roof. I now believe that we will see gas prices at or near $5.10 by the end of the summer. Even [...]
So Long Bill
As many of you know, Bill Gates retired last Friday. I know that this email is old; however, I thought it would be nice to bring it back up… So long Bill, we barley knew you (thank goodness). Original Message sent by Bill Gates on Wednesday, January 15, 2003, to Jim Allchin, i think you [...]
Microsoft at it Again
With the failure of the Yahoo acquisition, Microsoft is at it again. This time they managed to biy the search engine Powerset for $100 million. I introduced Powerset several weeks ago as a possible future competitor to Google (Is Google in trouble?). With the power of Microsoft backing them, Google may very well have a [...]
RIAA Stands for: "Real Insane Addicted A-holes"!
This is going to be short because I could go on for a long time at how dumb this is. The RIAA is trying to charge the radio stations royalty fees for playing music from their record labels (or they will consider it pirating). The radio stations already are in money trouble, what could the [...]
Google Knows and Sees All!
Back in March, Google completed its acquisition of DoubleClick. What dose this mean for us? I do not think this is good for consumers. The holy grail of the internet age is user-targeted ads, so why would this be bad you may ask? Simple, our privacy is out the window, not only will Google see [...]
