Sick of This Yet? |
|
Perhaps this will be the last posting on this topic for awhile. But I doubt it, ’cause Google’s got $10 billion burning a hole in its pocket and it’s going to wind up buying somebody soon.

They’ve just signed an agreement to provide advertising for the social networking site aimed at college students.

Seems Like Just Yesterday |

Bottom line: 1.5 billion PCs have been sold worldwide, with a value of more than $3 billion. On a related(?) note, MTV also turned 25 this month. Now that’s real news. |

Dell Battery Recall |
|
You may have heard this already, but Dell is recalling batteries that have been overheating and setting laptops on fire. I have one of the potentially affected laptops - but I haven’t turned it off to check the battery yet. Learn more about this recall and share it with your friends and family (especially if they got their laptop between April 1, 2004 and July 18, 2006). |
