You Shouldn't Have Buried Me, I'm Not Dead
They held a funeral for Internet Explorer 6 this week in Colorado. While it was nothing more than symbolic, we can all hope that people will upgrade to a different browser, but let's face it, they won't. If they have been using IE6 since 2001, why would they change now. It doesn't matter how many viruses they get or how slow the browser is, it came preloaded in Windows XP and dammit, it is going to stay on their computer. Of course, these are the same people who get to Facebook by going to Google and then typing Facebook as a search query. They are the bottom rung of the technological food chain.
Apple Announces Release Date for iPad
The iPad will be released in the U.S. on April 3 so trendy geeks better start getting their nickels together and get in line now because it is sure to have the crazy people camping out over the next couple of weeks. I stated a few weeks ago that I wasn't sold on the iPad and still am on the fence. I think that it will be a cool little extension of the iPhone but any heavy computing will be lacking. Also, lack of Flash support will hurt. That being said, if anyone would like to purchase one for me so that I can make a more educated decision, please feel free.
Yahoo! and Facebook Make Cyberbabies
Yahoo! is turning rather promiscuous. Two weeks ago it got it on with Bing, last week it hooked up with Twitter, and this week it is making a sweet, sweet partnership with Facebook. For the two people in the world who actually still use Yahoo!'s e-mail services, you will be able to start merging your Facebook contacts into your Yahoo! e-mail account. It would have been a great feature say, four years ago when Facebook was still rather new. At this point, don't most of us have the important contact information for our friends from Facebook in our e-mail contact list. And, if we don't, do I really want the e-mail address of the dude that sat across from me in Biology class fifteen years ago? Probably not. The good thing is, next week Yahoo! will shake its slutty self onto some other company just to fall short to Google. Poor, poor Yahoo!
Virtual Console Game This Week: Fatal Fury Special
Pretty cool fighting game that was released on the Neo Geo in 1993. It slipped under the radar for a lot of people seeing as the rest of the world were still enthralled with Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. For anyone who is a fan of Fatal Fury, a must. For the rest of us, not too shabby and worth the points.
