Audible.com agreed to an Amazon buy out while Microsoft made a bid for Yahoo in an effort to hold off search giant Google.

1- Real Player, so had it coming. Since I still do tech support for Mom, I really hate Real, it's like a virus.
2- Okay, Bryan, no more Mountain Dew before the show!
3- If Amazon keeps Audible as easy as it is, but throws it's weight into it, fantastic!
4- C'mon, Linus, aren't the little guys supposed to stick together? Did Snoopy steal your blanket? Really this Apple File attack seems so random.
5- MMMM... 32G iPod touch.... <drool>.
