  Gamestop Dropping Zune, What Exactly is Microsoft’s Zune Strategy Now? Audio, Hardware, Marketing, Microsoft, Video | (0)

For the past month I've been freelancing at Daily Bits, a recently launched technology blog by Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips fame.

  Del.icio.us Link Stroll: How Google Gears Could Kill Microsoft, Google Elucidates “Net Neutrality”, Judge Makes Life Difficult for the RIAA General, Google, Internet, Law, Microsoft | (0)

  Welcome to another leisurely stroll through my recently collected del.icio.us links. As always, feel free to add me ("Tenken" on del.icio.us) to your network if you'd like to share your own links with me. You can also subscribe to this RSS feed of my del.icio.us findings. How Google Gears Could Foreshadow Death for Microsoft: I've recently rediscovered Slate after spending most of my time over at Salon these past few months, and it's articles like this that make me kick myself for ignoring Slate for so long. Here, Slate's Harry McCracken argues that Google Gears introduces functionality that will be ...
