The United States Justice Department asks a Federal judge to hold Microsoft in contempt of court for allegedly violating a July 1994 consent decree by continuing to force computer manufacturers to distribute Internet Explorer with Windows ‘95. The Justice department asks the court to hold Microsoft in contempt and to impose a one million dollar a day fine on the company until it stops bundling the browser into the operating system. Microsoft responds by stating they have the right to integrate products and the browser has become an integral part of the system.

After Apple ’s release of iPhone 3G, people were noticing connectiviy issues. This was due to the Infineon chip within (the chip that governs the 3G). It would ultimately cause the cutout. Apple quietly tried to resolve the matter, but eventually they had to just simply let people know what is going on. Steve Jobs sent out a letter saying “I’m sorry” and announcing how they are going to fix the problem.
This is one of many different articles within the Geekazine Quickcast.’

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Ramblings. With all the videos and other things happening, I’ve just been running out of time. Still, we need to ramble every now and then…
First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day. Hope the day is full of love and happiness.
I found out the CES videos have been tweeted by CEA – the company that actually puts on CES. Because of that, more people have been checking out the video. Thanks to all that have been coming to the site.
I am missing the LIVE Show, but in another way glad I took the month off. Lots of stuff happening so I can focus on the new items.
As for FAWM – I have written 9 songs. While I’m having fun, I haven’t found that “Breakout song”. Maybe this year is going to be an off year. We’ll see what the next 5 will be like.
This weekend is chuck full of stuff. Not sure if I will have the Quickcast ready until Monday morning. We’ll see what happens. Last night was up north, tonight is Valentines and tomorrow we are toasting a friend who is heading out to Iraq. I am not sure what’s going to happen with the Monday version ‘Week in Tech History’ come March because we will have officially done the segment for a year.
That’s it for now. Check out Franks’ Thoughts including the newest one about the Charter Bankruptcy announcement.
On Tuesday, I went to take a shower like I normally do. Water wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t hot. I finished and got out, then went down to the water heater. Pilot light was out. OK – relight and move on, which is what I did.
Wednesday the shower was once again not that hot. I figured it was because I didn’t turn up the heater to the regular level. I left it alone, but found out later the pilot light went out again.
Yummy, yummy low fat honey glazed twist pretzels. I think I ate a whole bag of em on Thursday and I want more. It was all Sunspots’ fault. They Put out a new song “Path of Most Resistance”. Check them out in the video below:
This segment of “Politics and Technology”, we talk with Jamie Miller of Battlegroundflorida.com. The subject is Advertising and compaigning over the Internet. Jamie discusses the first email campaign he ever set up and what we can expect for future campaigns in a local or larger campaign.
