While those stuck reading this in some dimly lit, cold, and rank smelling cubicle may have nothing but malice and dissent for Microsoft Outlook as it takes up countless hours of their lives each day, people who actually choose to use it on the outside seem to think pretty favorably of it. Outside of the enterprise world, Outlook itself is a pretty decent desktop email client that can at least hold it's own against many other desktop email clients from various software companies. But even in ...

If we could travel back in time as little as two years ago and look at the social networking war between Facebook and MySpace, we'd remember the cut throat battle that was being waged between the two. My how a couple years change people and companies. This past year has seen MySpace followers defect in record numbers with the once social network falling from it's high podium. For most, the lack of innovation and overall inability to get past the whole tweenie bopper crowd is the sole cause f...

If there was ever a pairing between two long time rivals that eventually kissed and made up, the rivalry between Facebook and MySpace would definitely not be near the top of my list list. But pigs are going to soon sprout wings and hell will in fact start freezing over (I can feel my feet getting cold as we speak) as Owen Van Natta, MySpace CEO has been officially quoted saying that they are "in talks" with Facebook exec's. Similarly, Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg stated: "we would like to h...

If that isn' t a slap in the face, I don't know what is. Whether Mr. Anderson has some ill will or salty feelings for his old love is between him and himself for the time being. What is immediately apparent to all of us is now that he's free, he can be a bit more, um, social. Even though the page is fake, as one can see above, it is well done and a great play on social networking none the less. Did it have you fooled at first?

Over the last couple years, Facebook has exploded in popularity surpassing the once great MySpace. The draw for many was the slick, quick, and uncluttered interface. Well, with the addition of every quiz, app, and game underneath the sun, Facebook is turning into the bloated giant MySpace still is. What to do? Cut the fat that's what. Since Facebook started adding all of the frilly junk, many users have been begging for a "Facebook Lite" that gives them the good 'ol Facebook free from dis...
Uh-oh, MySpace putting the kibosh on 2/3 of international staff

These tough economic times are trying, often pushing mind and body to the brink as we try to stay afloat in an ever increasingly flooded world. Some people just have what it takes, others do not. Sadly, MySpace has slipped from its prominent position it once held in the social networking scene. Lately, MySpace has even portrayed an image of that of a dying company -- slumping traffic statistics, substantial management repositioning, and massive layoffs. If you were a MySpace worker outside...
Canon bringing SED TV technology back into focus?

If you can recall a year or two ago, (I know, reach deep into the depths that is your mind....I'm just kidding you 'ol bear trap you), SED technology was a TV technology with a bright future ahead looking to become the dominating standard, if not at least a worthy competitor to OLED, and the now defunct FED standards with it's extremely nice image quality. Then drama, greed, and confusion took place as various partners dropped support and funding. The most recent casualty being FED as So...
MySpace goes on a much needed diet

If you are a more seasoned individual who is still relatively young, you may heard of a social networking site called MySpace. Even though MySpace isn't garnering all of the media attention lately, (that honor goes to Twitter and Facebook), it is still none the less a big player in the social networking scene as it was the first social networking site to truly make that type of "thing" cool. Throughout the years, MySpace's emphasis on customization has rendered many of its hundreds of mi...
