The Grand Tech Merger Of 2008

The Microsoft/Yahoo! dance is quite fitting since it seems both companies share a very common hobby: zero day security vulnerabilities.

I guess it’s only fair that if Yahoo! passed on a virus to Microsoft during whatever activities they were doing together that they should do the right thing and partner in a more official capacity with them.

The Grand Debacle Of 2008

For the record, I’d still like a none of the above option for this election. Since there is little chance of getting a truly decent candidate in office we’re left with following the current candidates as they vie for our votes. Google is going to make following the election even easier this year and their Super Tuesday coverage is a great, innovative example. I do find it strange that they’ve partnered with Twitter rather than a certain other social networking service.

At least we have yet another example that the even gravitational mass of Google is not sufficient to prevent folks from finding what works best for them.

Now, if only Google or Microsoft would buy and then kill off Facebook…one can dream.

Two ironies and the day has just begun.
