Good, Bad, and the Smoochy

Keep an eye open for GDrive. Google is not releasing details, but if the report from GEEKNESS - WITH FRESH AND CLEAN AIR is correct, this will be awesome. Can you imagine synced email across different operating systems in one machine? How about an almost fool proof backup system? It'll be interesting to see how much space will be allowed. This is another step towards online computing. Is this good or bad? Let me hear from you.

Microsoft and Yahoo are kissing. Read about it at PCMagazine. Isn't this wonderful? Microsoft was caught just a few weeks ago putting spyware on our computers and now they are giving Yahoo a further opportunity to force Claria and 180Solutions on your machine. Microsoft IM is annoying enough by NOT going away when you install Windows. Yahoo is, well, HORRIBLE! If I ever become Emporer of the Known Universe it is my solemn promise to shut them down right after I ship all the spyware creeps and terrorists to another planet or into the sun.

But hey, better a Windows/Gates world than an Apple/Darth Jobs one.
