This has been doing the rounds on the inter-webs today. It’s an interesting take, and a cool campaign, but I think I agree with the guys over at mobilecrunch.

Many a Sci-Fi writer has a decent take on this phenomenon in the future with their stories of massively wireless interconnected minds and the way people stare off into nowhere with absent eyes when they are busy communicating.

As per this article, it looks like MS and Yahoo! will enter into a rev-share deal that will set Bing as the default search engine on Yahoo!.

Apparently the formal anouncement is to be made tomorrow, so lets perhaps take this info with a grain of salt.

Funny HBA ad – “Ripped my guts out”

My wife brought this ad to my attention recently. It’s the funniest ad I’ve seen in a while and is apparently actually an old ad. The last kid is the funniest.
