CNN.com’s New Look
Just noticed CNN.com has a new look. The page looks clean and the navbar near the top of the page is nicely done. I understand CNN’s urge to have “Video” way up there but I would have liked to see the location of “Markets” swapped with that of “Video”. And, yes, the search bar, powered [...]

No iPhone but My Vista PC is Cool
Before I get hit by flaming apples, let me try to explain. When I posted Can’t Vista? Keep XP. Or, Move to Ubuntu, little did I know that I would very soon embark on building a PC to run Windows Vista. In fact, my blog post kinda motivated me to do it sooner than I [...]

Terry Semel Stepped Down as CEO?
I am not sure I believe that Terry Semel stepped down of his own volition. Could Terry Semel Stepped Down as CEO be an euphemism for Terry Semel Ousted as CEO? I think so.

Ubuntu on Dell
The news may be old but this is the first time I saw it on Dell.com.

Why are Internet Businesses Run Inefficiently?
Recently I was tasked with closing down a website which was hosted by Netfirms.com. On Netfirms.com there is no way to cancel the webhosting account. In fact, there is no mention of how to close an account on its website. Instead, one is forced to submit a customer support ticket online. In response to the [...]

Yahoo! Stuffing the Page with the Same Content More Than Once
Looks like not much is happening at Yahoo! lately. I’ve seen the same news item in multiple tabs on the same page before but these days the same news items are appearing more than once within the same tab on a page. I hope it is just a programmer error. This and thisare couple examples [...]
