But from a practical standpoint, whether Apple is rooting for Bing to succeed or not, and regardless whether Apple has any actual intention of perhaps switching to Bing as the default search provider for MobileSafari and Safari, Apple almost has to discuss such a potential deal with Microsoft. Even if what Apple ultimately wants is to stick with Google as their default search provider, how can Apple negotiate the best possible terms from Google if they don’t have any other option? (It strikes me as very likely that even if Google remains the default search engine for iPhone OS, Bing will replace Yahoo as the second choice, which you can toggle in the Settings app.)
Apple may come off at times as a bit soulless, but at least they've got class. And when that class allows them to sell more products that make happier customers, I'll take class over flash every time.

Adrian Legg
Thursday, March 18th at 7pmSince the 1990 release of his first U.S. recording Guitars and Other Cathedrals , Adrian Legg has more than lived up to the expectations stirred by an ongoing avalanche of praise from critics, fans, top guitar mags and peers alike. Joe Satriani once said, "He's simply the best acoustic guitar player I've ever heard...he plays like he has hammers for fingers." The genius that the Boston Globe has called "technical brilliance paired with a troubadour's tale-weaving skill" led him from 1993-96 to be voted Best Fingerstyle Guitarist four years straight by the readers of Guitar Player magazine.

I highly recommend this show. Adrian Legg is an interesting and Phenomenal player.
Good magazine, terrible site! Click through add before entry is annoying also. All I want to do is find out what's going on at NAMM 2010.
OK, this is not all the cable boxes in the house, just all of the boxes in the bedrooms. Most of the credit goes to the internet while sites like Hulu.co and devices like the Slingbox (slingbox.com) are also key.

The bailout exposed deep hypocrisy all around. Those who had preached fiscal restraint when it came to small welfare programs for the poor now clamored for the world's largest welfare program. Those who had argued for free market's virtue of "transparency" ended up creating financial systems so opaque that banks could not make sense of their own balance sheets. And then the government, too, was induced to engage in decreasingly transparent forms of bailout to cover up its largesse to the banks. Those who had argued for "accountability" and "responsibility" now sought debt forgiveness for the financial sector.
