- Google Merges Gmail With Chat - Very good! One more reason for me to enjoy using Gmail.

- Opera 9.0 Technology Preview 2 For Windows Released - I'll be testing this all day to post my quick review tomorrow.

- Firefox 2.0 Alpha 1 To Be Released Friday - I look forward to testing this release to get a feel for how it performs.

- The Furture Of The iPod - As long as iTunes and the iTunes Store continue to get better, the iPod will continue to sell and as a result evolve into an amazing device (or range of devices). Great article by the way.

- WebServUSB Server On A Thumbdrive - I wonder how many of these things you can set up per computer. It's only a matter of time before we see wifi-enabled servers with built-in routers and GPS functionality this size that can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet (power may not be an issue once we find an efficient and easily renewable source).

- IBM: Moore's Law Not Dead After All - No, but it's hurting...really badly.
