Sitting here talking to some of the bloggers around the sphere and Scott Lowe and couple others had some good fun. Just like the concept of VDI was driven by companies such as myself and others with a true business need. We offer up the next great idea for VMware from the community.

vBlogger – Now blogging faster and with more efficiency. The human brain only uses 10% today. Now with virtualization technology you can blog faster and with more capability.

Tax Havens for Bailed-Out companies

Now this is what I expect from quality journalism sources.

For a short while I thought that Congress was going to do something good in the name of Capitialism instead of turning America into a socialist or merchantlist state. They were going to vote down the additional $350 billion of the Fall ’08 Bail-Out package and Obama threatened/politicio them to pass it.

More evidence that the bail-out is wasted money for poorly lead big business whom need to fail for all our benefit. Poor managment isn’t making one bad choice, it is making lots.

Since when is weather the news?

Here I am sitting in Wisconsin and see this ad on the standard news channel that they are going to have coverage starting at 4am. The coverage is “Weather”. Normally they start at 5am for road coverage and some overnight news. Nothing exciting.

So what are they going to talk about at 4am when all the schools are closed already. All parents and kids are going to be sleeping in. People are going to sleep in if anything today.

News story: It’s cold.
Breaking News: It’s really cold.
Man on the street: Dang Barbara, it’s cold out here. I’m going to put on that hat right now.
Latest News: It’s really cold. Wear more layers and cover up so you don’t freeze your nose off.
Last News before you head to work: It’s really cold. You know that hat and sweater you have and don’t wear, put it on you fool.

When I was a kid, the news said tomorrow’s going to be in the negatives. Dress warm. This closing schools is silly.

Since when is the weather news?

DirecTV & Tivo in bed again.

Sweet news for DVR done right. DirecTV and Tivo together again!

As a diehard fan of DirecTV and Tivo, especially the DirecTivo systems, this is the best news I’ve heard in months. My DirecTivo’s are each dying slowly and surely. They are an easy 5 years old at this point which is quite old consumer electronics typically (with 2 kids, 2 dogs, a cat and moving 3 times).
