Microsoft today released a photosharing/news reader desktop application named Max. A photosharing and news reader app? Yes. Why? I don’t know. It does those two things and while the photosharing functions looks cool, I still haven’t found what I am really supposed to do with it. Now news readers I understand, but this one is […]

I just searched for ‘Real Estate’ on Google and was prompted to enter a zip code and listing type on the results page. It comes back with a pretty nifty tool for finding listings, mashed up on Google Maps. Was that always there? I don’t remember hearing about it.

Maybe a sign of how removed from reality a lot of the Web 2.0 world is, today’s Back to School list on CrunchGear features not only 55 inch plama TVs and $200 backpacks, but author John Biggs also thinks that the 60gb video iPod goes for $250.
Walking around our campus here, the iPod is everywhere, […]

Intel Layoffs - Marketing Only?
September 1, 2006 | 1 Comment
The Intel layoffs are going to be announced on Tuesday. There will be a webcast for employees, giving a general overview of what will happen. Employees will be informed by their managers (not by email as some have speculated - even Intel is not that cruel (well, maybe they are, but not when it comes to […]
