Hey? Whats going on? Windows Vista is barely two years old and already the fellows at Richmond are talking about Windows Seven, not only is Window dissing Vista but user’s are not adopting the software as expected. Some people are already downgrading back to Windows XP, all this is happening and Mac is still doing those mac versus PC adverts, the bloodletting never ends.

Facebook, MySpace, Reddit, Furl, Del.icio.us and now 3gb, makes me wonder, do we really need another social networking site? then again does any body need another technology site, heck i thought so and from the amount of traffic i am getting it seems it is needed.

Running a small business can be tricky, you cannot hope to compete with volume shops on price and a lot of times you do not get the tax breaks the bigger business do get. What can help you however is that even in “brick and mortar businesses”, it is becoming increasing easy to get the technology advances used by much bigger competitors to achieve cost cutting, have time and most importantly speed up your supply chain.

First thing I see is 182 HD stations in Florida, a lot of which are new country music stations and oldies, which I love. Sounds cool. Hey, does Alabama have any? But more importantly…how much does it cost?? Oh my goodness! Did i just see a $5000 yamaha home theater? Och! My eye!! My eye!! Car radio updates start from $150. That’s a pretty penny.

Have you ever listened to the radio and heard an oldie or just a favorite song that you’d want to have? Yeah, I’ve had that happen to me like 500 times. Sure, I’d like to buy it. So, I need to buy another radio to do it, huh? The I-Sonic ES2? Not necessarily but at least a radio that has an HD tuner. Note; not all iPods are suitable for iTunes Tagging. Only the 5th generation, 3rd generation nano and the iPod classic are tagging compatible.

Looking At Web hosts

I write a couple of reviews for web hosts, you can check out my articles on webhosting.devshed.com (that beat pays a tad more than bayo’s stints), no prizes for figuring out which writer i am. but today i am looking at a web site that reviews web hosts, need less to say there are dozens of them and this one does not do much to get itself above the fray

Well, here is an official announcement that Sun is buying MySQL . One is forced to wonder, what will then happen to the close bonding that has been going on between Java and Oracle now that sun will have its own RDBMS? Hmm… the possibilities are looking interesting. Maybe organisations will begin to take the MySQL Database managers more seriously, if they’ve got the weight of Sun and the almighty Java behind them. Yeah, getting an OCP alone is not enough anymore.
