Geek Brief TV #343

Yahoo! is trying their best to avoid a Microsoft takeover. They're
working on a deal [1] to join with AOL and trying out an advertising
partnership with Google. Microsoft doesn't like [2] the possibility of
any kind of Yahoogle happening, but the test is limited [3] to a two
week trial.

Yesterday was a BIG day for watch phones. The coolest one is the
MW2 from VanDerled [4]. The other one [5] was oversized and
odd-looking with no details about availability or price.

The Red Ferret Journal [6] introduced us to a Web 2.0 copy editing
service called Gramlee [7]. You submit your written work to them, pay
the a very nominal fee and a human editor cleans it up for you.

As far as I recall, we didn't bring up Zune Guy [8] when he got his
Zune logo tattoo, or when he announced he was changing his name to
Microsoft Zune. We waited until now. He put the name-change plans on
hold because someone told him it would cost $500. Now it turns out,
it's only going to cost $150. He put a survey up [9] asking people to
vote on name alternatives. I want him to go with Mike Zune. Microsoft
is notable in so many ways, but the name means tiny and soft. What guy
wants to be identified THAT way?

My crisis of idealism blog post [10] is at iCali.tv. Thanks for
taking the time to read it and adding your feedback.
