Cell Phone to Be Used as Boarding Pass
Hot weather in California means no good news. Ballmer making more noise than ever. He mentions that MSFT blundered in the search business. Microsoft says no buying spree. China says its not investigating Microsoft story continues. All this means is that they ARE investigating. Delta to use cell phone as boarding passes. Firefox up to 14 million downloads. Its started to crash on me and give me weird errors. FCC tells Sprint-Nextel to get out of 800 MHz band in 30 days, or else. I recommend my own column in Marketwatch.

Verizon Goes to 50Mbps Download speed
Yahoo adding ymail.com and rocketmail.com. Apple sold 5 billion songs and wants to top itself with movie downloads. China says no, we have no plans to bust Microsoft. Verizon upping speeds of FiOS to 50 down and 20 up. Nice! Should be perfect for peer-to-peer. Suddenly propaganda machine cranks up the noise to develop car mileage benchmark called gallons per 10,000 miles. Why? ATI forces nVidia to cut prices. One in three IT people are spying on each other. Kids busted for changing grades. May do 38 years in prison. Peachy.

Save Your Phone Books
Microsoft getting deeper into the ad business by buying a TV advertising specialty company. Meanwhile they are unaware of potential China action.

So? GPU versus CPU debate begins.
