One of the rumored features in the next version of iTunes (version 8) is a new visualization system. Visualizations are the images that run in conjunction with music being played through iTunes and change based on different elements of the music such as beats-per-minute (BPM). Digg founder Kevin Rose, who appears to be right in his statements about what the new iPod nano will look like, has described this new visualization as “really trippy” and ...

We thought Yahoo stocks won’t fall further down than the record 52-week low they had set back in January this year; which was $18.58. However the bid for $31 bid per share put by Microsoft did put a stability check on Yahoo, only to rise and eventually stoop to a record low. The current closing put Yahoo’s stock at $17.75 a share (as reported) and this fall lies primarily in one glaring fact that the ...

Silicon Valley insiders and the early adopter crowd seem to hate the new Microsoft ad. That’s a sign the software giant may actually be on target this time. So Microsoft debuted its long-anticipated, $300 million marketing campaign today. And the initial reviews — at least from the tech and early adopter gang — aren’t all that kind. VentureBeat sniffs that the campaign opener, a quirky 90-seconds of comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Microsoft founder Bill Gates ...

This is interesting in light of the aggregate nature of modern identity - you are all these little perspectives of yourself, like a cubist reinterpretation of the self. But somewhere there must be unification, and this is an interesting and minimalist idea of how it might be accomplished.

The service, which serves as both an extension to Office and a direct competitor to Google Docs and startups like Zoho, was announced last winter and opened in public beta last March.

If you listen to the fine folks at Google, they universally love Firefox. In fact, many of them agonized over Google’s decision to create its own browser because they didn’t want to damage the scrappy open-source rival that has given IE fits. (Wired has the inside story of Chrome’s creation.) Nevertheless, Google decided it had no choice but to develop Chrome. Now the question is how badly will Chrome damage Firefox.
