Lots of news from Yahoo in it’s efforts to fight off the takeover offer from Microsoft.

• Yahoo announced they will go through a two week trial period out­sourc­ing their search ads to Google
• News Corp is in talks to join with Microsoft in it’s takeover offer for Yahoo
• AOL and Yahoo are look­ing at join­ing their inter­net operations

All of this is big news as Yahoo looks to fight to stay inde­pen­dent from Microsoft. Yahoo envi­sions it as a bad deal for Yahoo and per­son­ally I agree with that. I think Microsoft’s and Yahoo’s cul­ture are too dif­fer­ent to work well together.

Here is a good and rea­son­able mix if you are look­ing to set up invest­ment accounts. (I really like Van­guard for invest­ing, the fees are very low and their invest­ments do really well. How­ever I per­son­ally use Share­builder, because ING Direct is my main bank.)

In the 1990’s the rich got richer, while the mid­dle and poor class stag­nated or even fell behind in their incomne level, reported via CNN.

Techcrunch built a quicke app on Google AppEngine and share their experince.

Adobe released the Adobe Media Player, really nice look­ing app and the qual­ity of video looks really nice. It already has both video pod­casts as well as some tv shows, evun­tally Comdey Cen­tral Shows includ­ing The Daily Show will be in the player. You will be able to down­load each new episode directly to your pc.

There is some of the more inter­est­ing stuff I found today surf­ing the web, till tomorrow.
