Tertis Turns 25














It is hard to believe but Tetris turned 25. It was designed by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984.

Time flies!

Palm Pre Released



















The Palm Pre was released today at Spring Stores nationwide. This is going to be an interesting player in the market and comes at an odd time. Many believe that the new iPhone will be released on Monday at WWDC.

For now, the Palm Pre will sync with iTunes. It does so by emulating an iPod by transmitting Apple-specific vendor and product IDs to iTunes. I can hear the lawyers in Cupertino getting ready to hammer this one. Watch for the next version of iTunes to block the Palm Pre.

Glass Cube Sales
















The New York City Apple store sold $440 million worth of merchandise last year. How do you think that Dell store is doing? :-)

What If You Had A Party But Forgot To Tell Anyone?













This is hilarious and typical of Microsoft. Microsoft threw a huge launch party for Bing at the Seattle Center but forgot to mention it to anyone beforehand. Seattle residents were as confused about what was going on at the Space Needle as they are as to what a "Bing" is.

This sounds like a Microsoft Bob moment.

Android Netbook

















Acer is working on a Google Android netbook. This one will be interesting to watch. It seems that many of the netbook manufacturers are working on Android netbooks.

Google Wave













This may be the coolest email replacement that I have ever seen. Google announced Google Wave as the ultimate communication interface. As Google puts it "A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

This is very cool!
