Songbird ... now featuring HomeStarRunner.com

As SongBird readies itself for a grand launch, I would like to give you a sneak peek on it ... Songbird will be very innovative, and just like Mozilla Firefox, it will be very extensible.

Just check out this one feature, if you are a Home Star Runner fan (or not) ... and imagine the possibilities of a free, and open source media player, that is made with you in mind ...

Utter disappointment

While I agree that Google should stay true to its mission, I also believe that Google could have, and should have done more.

The only silver lining in this dark cloud is a hope that maybe, just maybe Google has learned a bit on how Capitol Hill politics works. (It was clear from the beginning that Google called the shots on the Yahoogle side. Yahoo, not having much of a presence in DC, could have done little, if at all.)

One early morning

As we look forward to a new day, we could not be more thankful to Senator John McCain as we watch his grace. Obama's victory speech was also a delight. I congratulate President-elect Barack Obama and wish him luck on the challenges ahead.

On a related note, it might be interesting to know that FCC approved the vote for white spaces. Thank you, FCC!
