Microsoft When Microsoft said it withdrew its offer to buy Yahoo earlier this month, many people figured the acquisition dance was far from over - that the withdrawal and the subsequent letter from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to his Yahoo counterpart were nothing more than a move in an ongoing strategic battle. It appears those people were right, as Microsoft just issued a statement regarding Yahoo.

Indeed. Imagine this integrated with GMail and Google's office services.

I just watched the video here:

http://www.splashtop.com/

Many, many people would not need a hard drive or other OS, or the expense. (Other's would, of course.) But this looks to be far more significant than Dell's half-hearted Ubuntu preinstalls. Splashtop, its descendants, and other initiatives like it, are going to be *big*. An excellent application of the "less is more" philosophy.
