Lifehacker sez: Yahoo Mail Innovates, Gmail... →
I find this post odd and ironic. All the years that Yahoo stagnated and sprawled unconvincingly over their section of the web has apparently been forgotten. And now their massive amount of suckage is overturned in a mere 2-year beta release? All the while Google has been kicking butt with innovation after innovation? I think not. I could go on, point by point, about why I think this article...

Interwebs Are Addictive
Just joined LinkedIn (thanks, Melissa) and FaceBook (thanks, self) and have entered again the realm of Swimming in the Interwebs. She wonders, idly, if she will have enough time to have an offline life. Oh RIIIIIGHT, human contact! That old rag.

Irony much? Guess the locals aren’t sexy enough.
Two Thoughts
1) I don’t understand why there seem to be several quite decent movies with good casts in them that never make it to the theater these days. Am I missing something? Is there a new marketing theory that straight-to-video doesn’t mean the movie sucked? 2) I freaking forgot my other thought.

Not Everyone Likes the Same Thing
And like any good company with focus groups and an outrageous marketing budget, Apple knows this. For example, I give you this new iPod nano, which I like and which my husband doesn’t think is that great. He thinks the design is on the downside, I think it’s cute: Or the new iPod Touch, which is an iPhone without the phone. I think - what’s the point of this? No phone? ...
