Microsoft and Yahoo Comparison

If you haven't heard, Microsoft offered to acquire Yahoo! this morning.

Centernetworks did a good simple comparison of the products/services offered by both.

Here's the comparison table: LINK.

December is National iPod Month

As a person who celebrates Christmas not just for Santa Claus, I appreciate the reason for the season (Kwanzaa?). Therefore I DO appreciate Christmas music, but NOT starting in November. For me, even early December is a bit much.

I'd like a week of Christmas music. That gives me 7 days to get me prepped for family time, lots of eating, and presents. Honestly, I like Christmas for the sweet potatoes and any presents are an added bonus.

So, all that being said, I declare that December is officially:

National iPod Month

That way, instead of listening to 5 to 6 weeks of Christmas music on the radio, around the malls, public lobbies, and the like....you can listen to your ipod and not be maxxed out on Christmas music by December 12th.

Yes, I am implying you hook up your ipod to your car stereo, listen to it while shopping for presents or pretty much anything else you do.
I realize not listening to Christmas music while shopping for presents seems like the wrong idea, but one afternoon of hearing Jingle Bells six times at the mall may send you over the edge.

I've almost lost it a few times thanks to the Christmas music I hear weekday mornings at the hotel.

So, keep yourself from succumbing to "I want to deck the halls with my face" syndrome or "Dashing through the snow into oncoming traffic" disease by keeping those earbuds in and connected to that sweet, sweet music player made by Apple.


(Yes, I have become an Apple fanboy. And no, I will not call it National MP3 Player Month. The iPod dominates the market and the Micro$oft Zune sucks.)

Vista runs the fastest on a MacBook Pro?

Apparently, PC World tested laptop computers to see which one runs fastest with Microsoft's Windows Vista. Link

The notebook that won?

The MacBook Pro.

Personally, I'm a big fan of OS X. I am marrying a MacBook Pro owner. Let's be honest, her stock shot way up when she bought it.

But, even if you aren't a fan of Macs, you have to think the commercials are clever.
