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 [...]
The Future of Microsoft
I expressed my views about Microsoft Windows Vista. What dose Microsoft have to do in order to break the idea that they are out of touch; or are that truly out of touch with what the people want and need. I have said this in the past Microsoft needs to focus more on the consumer [...]
Give Vista a Brake
I would like to take this moment to set the record straight about Windows Vista. This is a sour spot for Microsoft because all you hear about is the bad. Granted there are a few hardware, software and driver issues, but once you get past them, Vista is quite good. I built a top of [...]
Wh t th h ck (what the heck)

In a world of mergers and acquisitions, one has to ask, have we gone to far? Recently Microsoft tired to buy Yahoo! but was unsuccessfully. What would a company like this be called? I have an idea for them if it ever comes back to the tables (witch I think it will). Presenting Microhoo! There [...]

Twitter…!?
There is a new, fast growing network out there, but is twitter getting to big? With thousands of followers, radio hosts and politicians are reaching vast audiences. My question is if there are thousands, is it getting too much like a cult? Twitter is a tool that could be used for good, as well as [...]
