So the rumors are everywhere as Apple tries to set the pace in terms of what will be hot for the 2006 holiday shopping season. Microsoft has announced their "iPod killer" so it's only fitting that rumors start to circulate about a talking iPod.

Jason Bunch was listening to Metallica on his iPod while mowing the lawn outside his Castle Rock home Sunday afternoon when lightning hit him. The last thing the 17-year-old remembers was that a storm was coming from the north and he had only about 15 minutes before he should go inside. Next thing he knew, he was in his bed, bleeding from his ears and vomiting. He was barefoot and had taken

Google has paid the University of NSW an undisclosed sum for the rights to a mathematical process developed by Ori Allon that promises to change the way we explore the web. But it is unclear how rich it will make the 26-year-old doctoral student at the university who developed the algorithm, Ori Allon. My bet is "Damn rich":-) Orion could become the basis for the next generation of search

The only people I feel bad for are the people who know what's going on in the realm of the Internet yet they sit passively on the side lines watching other create online empires and fortunes. A report from earlier today shows that online advertising spending exceeded 3 billion dollars for the first time in history during 3Q 2005.
