This from engadget today .
On a side note, there’s also this on Dell’s new Streak 7. Nice form factor.

W00t! Microsoft’s Bing bites Google back, jumps 6% as noted by Brier Dudley today in the Seattle Times…
“Microsoft’s underdog search engine saw a jump in market share over the last month, increasing its U.S. market share 6 percent, according to an Experian Hitwise report today. Google’s U.S. market share fell 2 percent over the same period. No doubt it’s because Bing was siphoning off searches for terms like torsorapy and mbzrxpgjys.”

A little humour today, just before Superbowl Sunday: this commercial from Volkswagen featuring a diminutive Darth Vader on a seemingly normal Saturday afternoon.
I have seen our own son pull the same head fake at the end of the commercial when faced with a reaction to his use of The Force on our cat and other immoveable objects. (Thanks, Lisa and David)
