Microsoft pulls offer; Yahoo stays independent…for now.

CNet News reported today that it’s finally over…the Microsoft bid for Yahoo…for now anyway.

Micosoft reportedly offered $33 a share, but Yahoo stood firm at their $37 counter offer.

Guess we’ll have to see what, if anything, pans out between Ballmer and … well … who knows?!?

But for now, no MicroHoo, YaSoft or whatever other combination your creative minds have produced, low these many moons!

Falcon Northwest’s portable FragBox 8500 gaming rig gets reviewed

Oh yeah, you’ve options oozing everywhere for a bona fide gaming desktop that takes up some serious square footage in your domicile, but what about those looking for a potent portable? And we’re not talking laptops, either. Falcon Northwest’s FragBox 8500 — which sports a chassis that hasn’t changed much in years — was recently reviewed by the folks over at PC Magazine, and put simply, it was deemed a “game system without apologies.” Checking in at $1,895, critics found the internals to be “neatly put together,” the unit as a whole satisfactorily mobile and yes, they confirmed that “you will definitely be able to play the DX10-heavy versions of Crysis and World in Conflict at very decent frame rates.” Did you hear that? They said Crysis. Head on down to the read link for the full review of the Editors’ Choice-awarded machine.

The SS United States – Lady in Waiting

I had the opportunity to watch the upcoming documentary on the SS United State Ocean Liner called Lady in Waiting. It is a restrospective of the history of the Fastest Ocean Liner ever and one that brought my family and me to the United States back in 1964. The Ocean liner has been rusting away near the Walt Whitman bridge in Pa however it’s most recent owner, NCL, has plans to have it serve as a Cruise Ship. The Film was directed by Robert Radler (Best of the Best) and edited with Apple’s Final Cut editing software. We spoke recently of the project and I have posted the audio on the TechtalkRadio website at http://www.techtalkradio.com

Check out the Trailer for the Film Here:
