Yahoo MSN and Dell Grow Digg Like

Google Loses Belgium Copyright Battle

Should Google and any other search engine for that matter have the right to grab any content off the web and include it in their search results? My opinion is that if it’s published on the web, then yes. I’m not sure what the problem is. Erik Schonfeld seems to agree on the Business 2.0 […]

More Yahoo! Mail Improvements

Some Google News

Google Reader gets an upgrade
The update to the Google Reader application is one I’m watching closely. I haven’t had a chance to really sit down and play with the changes to see if it might actually be able to replace Bloglines for me or not. We’ll see.

I needed to logout of my own Gmail account today so I could access my wife’s account to look up an e-mail for her. When I went to log back into the account, I noticed that the storage space for Gmail continues to expand and has now almost reached 3GB (2759.616526MB to be exact, of […]
