Gartner Says RIM Wins Smartphone War

More on Google Chrome. Meanwhile Firefox 3.1 alpha 2.0 is out. I’d wait to even try it. Hadron collider may end this show (and all life on earth). Let’s hope not. Intel taking halogen out of the process for the good of the earth. Yeah, right. Company also doing a solid-state drive. Seinfeld-Gates ads getting bad press with various puns. My column takes a new angle. Zillow launched. Steve Jobs is supposed to look good on stage tomorrow. Google launches satellite for its maps. Colbert digitizes his own DNA. Gartner decales the winner in the Smartphone game. RIM!

Onerous Google EULA Outrages Users

Googlers try to sneak in onerous EULA. BUSTED! The company should be ashamed of itself. Web controlled door locks announced. Dumb idea. Xbox 360 to be reduced to $199. Corning warns of LCD glut. Sony raising the refresh rate of its LCD-TV. Why is the phrase "Upping the ante.." showing up a lot?

Will Chrome lead to Google Linux?

Googlers gah-gah over the Google Chrome browser. Will Microsoft be affected? I think not. Chrome is more of a competitor to Safari than anything else. I think it leads to the Google OS. Dell bringing out a ultralite notebook. WiMAX rolling in Baltimore. 802.11n still in draft mode? Why? GUN now 25 years old. Picassa to add face recognition. New iPods on Sept. 9? Looks like it.
