Show Notes

Art is making some really big changes to Two Guys Tech.

Mike is really sorry that he didn't get his folder view settings tutorial up yet. I was out of town, and it took a little longer to recover than I thought it would. I'll have them up soon.

We talked about the news:

Microsoft REALLY wants Yahoo:
April 26th is the deadline. Read about it here, here and here.

Yahoo's reply:

We want more money. Lots More.

Charlton Heston dies. I guess we can take his guns now. Finally, we can eat him. Charlton Heston is PEOPLE! He's made of PEOPLE! I know, that's bad.

Google in trouble because of that picture of the house taken from a private drive. (Streisand Effect?) Here's another story.

Not related is the Pirillo Effect (Warning: Blog Title not appropriate for Children). Of course, since we mention this effect that involves Chris Pirillo, and we did plug like every one of Chris Pirillo's web sites, we wonder if Chris Pirillo will actually stop by. Hmmm...

Mike mixes up Ask and About. Doh! Ask sure does have some pretty themes though. Since we are talking about search sites, we also mention Mahalo. We still don't know who is turning into a women's portal. Oh well, maybe it was a bogus story.

Man sells pizza.com for $2.6 mil.

Two of Mike's top 10 movies would be "Memento" and "The Usual Suspects".

We thought Premonition was pretty good, but probably not good enough to watch again. Mike is looking forward to seeing He Was a Quiet Man, and Christian Slater is 38 (1969), not 50.

We reminisce about some older cartoons, like:

Secret Squirrel

Mike also talks a little bit about Jott, send yourself messages with your phone. Mike's official stance is that there were no sequels to the Matrix.
