Microsoft ‘Bing’?
Microsoft is at it again. The Redmond, Washington company is set to unveil its next iteration of search technology at an industry gathering this week. They have tenatively named this new search index “Bing” as a sort of verbal representative for that lighbulb that goes off in your head upon a new, supposedly great, idea.

Kindle or Kindling?
Amazon.com will soon be releasing their next-generation document reader, Kindle DX. The Kindle DX will be substantially larger than Amazon’s first generation Kindle, extending the diagonal 3.7-inches longer. The Kindle DX website claims the device will be able to hold 3,500 e-books, an increase of 2,000 from the original (I wonder how many copies of Atlas Shrugged the device will hold… they should use that as a standard unit of digital measurement of e-books… Kindle DX will hold 2,000 Atlas Shrugged-s). The additional size and capacity comes at a fairly steep price at $489.00, up from $359.00 (free Super Saver Shipping!).

Stay tuned and check back Saturday night for the transformation.
The Internet is closed…
I was browsing the Internet today looking at some news sites and I saw this off of FoxNews.com.
Internet users face regular “brownouts” that will freeze their computers as capacity runs out in cyberspace, according to research to be published later this year.
