and that's why we NEED Eddie Van Halen

Yes, the old Google finance page was the best by far. Now it looks like some kid in his garage made it.

After years of terrible UI....Google decided to change GMail interface to be laid out like Outlook has been since 1995. LOL wtf?

Am I the only one who thinks that if you changed the color of the last "e" in the new logo that it would look exactly like the old Internet Explorer logo?

This sounds exactly like something stupid Microsoft would have done in the 90's because they "know what's better for users".

This is a worthwhile endeavor. Suuuuure. With the shortage of funds for the arts these days, is THIS what a museum spends money on?

People tend to forget that Microsoft wasn't ALLOWED to innovate in some areas after the anti-trust trial. Microsoft was not allowed to integrate certain software and services into their OS. They had to code them as completely separate products without direct interaction. While they still had these shackles on, Apple and Google were free to meld ANYTHING they wanted into their core products.

What a horrible bunch of stereotypes and role models for young girls. Everyone know that to be smart you have to bug ugly or fat.

Seems to me that Google has built a business that is too cumbersome to maintain legally? I mean just because no one was bothering them about it previously doesnt mean tthey dont have the legal obligation to do it. It's as if I started a landscaping business and I was dumping all the waste products in my back yard. When I run out of space and have to pay for garbage removal...it means that my business is flawed....not that they should write laws to allow me to dump it anywhere.

What you all forget is exactly how long ago Microsoft entered the PDA/Smartphone Market.

Back then, the screen technology was not advanced enough to handle finger-touches and gestures. They had to us a stylus in order to get accurate "clicks".

Great, now all eHow has to do is write scripts to update their pages every day, and they will safely stay at the top of EVERY search result.

In other news...Linux will be huge on the desktop within the next 18 months.

Google should care....because of the huge boost this gives to Microsoft Office Online. Millions of users...instantly.

VMWare Workstation is king for desktop virtualization. People will recommend all sorts of free/opensource tools, but the features simply wont compare to VMWare. DirectX support, snapshots, seemly windows etc etc etc. It does cost about $150, but well worth it if you have serious needs.
