This is going to be sweet - not only for battery life, but their stock in which I invested. Thanks for the news on that.</p><p>I'm not so sure on the Expedia and Google merger. Seems a bit fishy for me - why would Google want to invest in travel? Perhaps they might integrate flights with their google maps, but I don't see any sense in doing so. It'd make more sense for Google to buy out all of the affiliate programs as they did with Doubleclick. I have a feeling that Google is going to push harder in the eCommerce side and try to take over sites like Amazon/<a href="http://Buy.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Buy.com">Buy.com</a>.</p><p>I'm actually quite surprised that Best Buy did so well with their earnings, especially with the rising overhead costs for their B&amp;M stores. With increased utility cost and inflation, along with sluggish sales, they're doing quite well for themselves. If only Circuit City could catch up.</p><p>Regards,<br>-Albert</p>AlbertThu, 03 Apr 2008 03:48:59 -0000
