• Should Nokia Buy Yahoo?
  Obama picks tech team. All seem like government hacks. RIAA gets the state of Tennessee to throw away $10 million on spying on its students. MacArthur Foundation says Intern socializing is a good thing. New Honda Supercar, funny-looking. Google pulls plug on the unknown "Lively." Analyst  suggests that Nokia should be Yahoo.
• Intel Stock Goes Into the Toilet
  Now that Yahoo is gone under $10 Microsoft is not interested anymore. Apparently the company is not interested when it's a bargain. MSFT decides to do anti-virus for some unknown reason. Company also unable to promote Silverlight against Adobe Flash. HP story from yesterday actually explained. I run down all the stocks that are in the tank. 
• USB 3.0 Finalized at 4.8 Gbps
  Sun Microsystems to fire 6000. Crazy wording in FT. Jerry Yang quits. AOL kills Homestead. HO Says sales are heading up, not down like Intel thinks. USB 3. released (finalized) today. I highlight two stories about USB 3.0 showing how bad today's tech coverage has become.
