MSN Messenger Is The Largest Occupier Of Online Time

Microsoft owns the web. If you look at the time that Microsoft applications spend connected to it, the previous statement is proven without question. Who would think that a lowly IM application would be considered king of all in usage.
The take from  Download Squad -
To some of you, this might be a shock. To the [...]

Google Chrome Shipping On Some OEM PCs

The Figures Are In, U2 on YouTube – Almost 10 Million Streams

Did you watch the concert last Sunday night on YouTube? I watched most of it, and I was happily surprised at the actual quality of the feed.

Google Quashes the e-Reader Market In One Swoop

Amazon speaks glowingly about the Kindle, Sony has decided to put its hat in the ring, and put another reader out for public consumption. It seemed that a few others were going to come out with their version of the paperless book, all with one fatal flaw – the reader was locked – DRM.

Rupert Murdoch Thinks Google Is Stealing From Him

Have you ever wondered why there is so much differentiation in all the various browsers based upon the WebKit [engine]?

Twitter’s New Plan – Offering Promised Gold for Silver Now

The people at Twitter have gone to the big boys on the block, Microsoft and Google, to see if a deal can be struck for some cash, in anticipation of possible data mining for either of those companies.

We Don’t Need No Stinking iPhones!

No, this is not a slam on the iPhone, or Apple. I am a fan of both; if there was a way to get a an iPhone with support, I’d have one.
Unfortunately, Mr. Jobs screwed the pooch on his choice of providers to align with, as AT&T has been, and perhaps always will be, the [...]
