Apple and Google are in talks to team up. If you think about the possibilities, google has its video service, what if you could buy those video’s with Itunes. Looking up a song on google? Get taken right to the page in Itunes. And all those searches made in Apple’s safari browser, which only accounts for 3% of the market. Apple is just trying to get a little more out of google. This just says writing on the wall for microsoft. If apple and google teamed up think about how much buying power they would have. They would be able to compete fiercely agianst microsoft, especially since goolge is coming out with its own office line-up announced a few days ago.

A dog my old neighbors got who is named Amstel, after a beer. No wonder they party so much.
Daemeon, who owns Amstel.
Norm, a rocking dude who used to be our neighbor and parties a lot!
Pluto Not a Planet
After much debate, scientists have finally decided that they want to leave pluto out of our solar system and not even count it as a planet. I wonder what this will mean for all those little fourth graders trying to remember all the planets. The teachers will have to think up some new acrynoms. I have no clue what they are going to be.
Can a person be arrested 226 times?
Evidently this is true, A man in Nebraska has been arested 226 times so far, his list of crimes extending back to 1980! Edward Rooks however took the cake with 652 arrests until his death in 2004. Sadly, many think that Nebraska would actually take care of its criminals, lock them up and throw away the key. They do not. Unless you are considered a Habitual criminal sentcing is rather leniant. Luckily, this arrest could earn the un named man up to sixty years in prison, finally a lock-up and throw away the key case.
Google has Good Wi-Fi.
What could you expect from the large conglomerate? Except a smashing article by ABC news that says except for a various few parking lots controlled by private parties, googles wi-fi reaches nearly everywhere in the city of Mountainview, California. Google has said they are not interested in becoming a internet service provider, however they probably would not do a half bad job at it.
Slow news day Today.
Today is a rather slow news day, I have checked on all my sources including digg, google news, and others and did not see anything I was interested in. Some days just must be like that. However, one interesting piece of news I found out is that 3 of Alice Cooper’s songs are availible for free listening at http://music.podshow.com. I will be away for most of next week however, updates are going to still be occuring for the next few days. See you in a while everyone.
The Ultimate Baseball Roadtrip
Book by: Josh Pahigian and Kevin O’Connell.
This book is very informative in how to get the best seats, treats and parking spots in all of baseball’s locations. The book mentions everything from discounts on food to which seats have an obstructed view due to the overhang. I was left on the edge of my seat when reading it. I think this is a definite need for any fan heading to a baseball game and even as a casual read it is very entertaining.? Even I, someone who does not enjoy baseball a whole lot found the book funny and a awesome read. This book is a definite thumbs up.
Pluto may not be considered a planet
It is true, the solar system may be left with only 8 planets if the International Astronomical Union votes to have pluto not included as a planet. Also, if pluto is considered to be a planet the union would have to consider 14 other “bodies” similar to Pluto. An alternative to having Pluto remaining a planet is to have pluto demoted to its own category, thus leaving the solar system with only eight planets. We should find out soon the meeting of the IAU opened today and lasted for tweleve days. You saw it here first ladies and gentlemen. I will update you on this story as it develops.
Michigan to prosecute spammers to protect children.
Michigan is filing charges agianst two companies for sending illegal emails about services and products children cannot legally buy to children. Last week’s charges against RR Media of California and Data Stream Group of Florida are the first of their kind in the country and may subject the spammers to a fine of up to $10,000 and other penalties.
Google Coupons?
Google has unleashed cupons with its google local service! Only another key indicator that google is taking over our world and is becoming the one stop shop for everything! I think this service will skyrocket and become the next sunday circular in your RSS reader.
Spam!
Currently, all @hotmail.com email address are being blocked from my server. This is due to extensive spam from these addresses. Please use another ISP for your email, I will provide free google invitations for all needing them. I have also made it mandatory to register to post a comment, please register, it is quick and easy. I have gotten 50 spam comments in the past two days. I just think this should help temporarily. News coming soon.
Thanks,

Nasa cannot find apollo moon landing tapes!
Wow, NASA come on your the government the only thing you are supposed to lose is paperwork. Not important moon landing videos! Wonder if they will ever be found. Probably not, too much red tape.
Television
Television is definantly the most important invention in the last 100 years. This is because of its ability to carry so much information to so many different places, and allow people different choices in from to here the media. The people don’t have to listen to joe six pack on the back of his horse riding into town drunk for their news, they can look at a variety of cable news networks and find out the information from CNN, MSNBC, FOX and others. Television has also expanded our minds by allowing us to watch everything from the evening news from Iraw to Barney. Television however is not all good. Watching too much television can be bad for the brain, causing valuable brain cells to die off. This is particuarily true in younger television viewers such as babies. Television is not recommended at all for children under 3 but is often used as a baby sitting tool while the parents of the house work on another task. Television can also have a negative effect on certain individuals, causing them to think about murder, and other violence. Television can be linked to both things good and bad however we hope and pray that television will live on. Mostly due to sites like youtube.com television has been getting less viewership and more television watchers are switching to youtube.
