New Site launching soon
I’ve registered a new domain name, and I’m going to be launching the site soon. I’m quite excited about it and I think this new project is going to help me and many others.
There is now a few things I need to look into and a few things I need to set up.
I’ll let you all know soon what the site is.
Microsoft, Scaly or clever?
Any of you who has bought A laptop in the last couple of months will know, that when you Buy a new laptop, it 
comes loaded with windows vista, and office 2007.
you work with it for a couple of weeks, and all of a sudden it wont work at all. It keeps on asking you to activate your copy of office 2007. Why?
Every laptop is now shipped like that. Vista works fine and you have a windows vista cd key. But Microsoft office expires after a couple of days. You need to purchase a copy of Microsoft office in order for you to continue to use it. That’s fine, We all understand that to use something, you need to pay for it. But why get your hopes up?
I think its a really great sales strategy, but maybe its not all that well thought out.
I sold a laptop to someone the other day, and after I told them about office 2007 going to expire soon, they got upset and almost told me to take back the laptop. I calmed them down and everything is now fine, except, they don’t like Microsoft anymore.
So is the way Microsoft is pushing their product right? Or should it not be done like that?

Once you’ve established a blog and have it running for a while you would like to see how many other sites link to you.
You can do this by using Google.

Google Cancels deal with yahoo
Google amost entered a law suit if it did not pull out of the deal.
A day after Google walked away from an advertising partnership with Yahoo, Eric E. Schmidt, the chief executive of Google, said he believed that the companies would have been successful if they had chosen to defend the deal in court.
Eric Schmidt abandoned an advertising deal with Yahoo.
Google chose to abandon the controversial plan after the Justice Department notified the companies that it would file an antitrust suit to block it.
“We canceled the deal with about one hour to go before a lawsuit was going to be filed against our deal,” Mr. Schmidt said in an interview on Thursday. “We concluded after a lot of soul-searching that it was not in our best interest to go through a lengthy and costly trial which we believe we ultimately would have won.”
Yahoo said it would have preferred to defend the deal in court. “Yahoo strongly believes we would have prevailed in court if the Department of Justice had filed a lawsuit, but unlike Google, we were prepared to defend our agreement,” said Tracy Schmaler, a Yahoo spokeswoman.
Imagine if your company set out to controll most of the internet and try to make the world a better place. Google has the size, power and the know how on how to do that. People have told me that for me to change the world, I need to start with myself. Google can change the world with the internet.
