Oh well. Whatever. Nevermind.
1. The good folks at the TSA (please don’t put me on a watch list) might not believe your Air is actually a computer and the ensuing debate might cause you to miss your flight.
2. Its so thin and light that you could accidently throw it out with the newspapers, even if you are a tech writer for a national magazine.
I think I still want one.
Help! I’d like an invite code to Persai. I signed up for the beta but haven’t gotten the email yet. Paul Boutin’s got a review out that makes me want to try it out even more. So….anyone got an invite code they want to share?
The big news in the tech/business world today is Microsoft’s unsolicited $44.6 billion dollar offer to buy Yahoo. I wouldnt really be affected by the merger directly. I don’t really use any of Yahoo’s or Microsoft’s products. I’m starting to use Flickr and I use Yahoo’s fantasy sports (by far the best) for my leagues but other then those two thats about it. I canceled my Hotmail account years ago. I do use a PC at work but I’ve got an Apple at home that I like more; Google for most of my online stuff.
This seems like a pairing that would be very hard to pull off successfully (something AOL-Time Warner learned the hard way). I can understand joining to fight Google but there has to be a larger purpose then just that, right? And what would happen to all the overlapping products? Would they merge them? Not to mention you’d be talking about a new company with approx. 90,000 employees, thats not nothing. So many questions, I guess it will be interesting to see what happens.
