McBush Hopes For A ?Prayer From The Faithful?
2008-08-15 00:33:00 This post from Chris Bowers at Open Left reminds us that both all-but-named nominees for president will appear with The Rev. Rick Warren on Saturday at a forum in the ?heartland? of Southern California (and I totally agree with Bowers? interpretation of the implied intolerance in that label).This is significant because, to their credit, some of the ?fundies? who actually DO care about trying to better our world have had enough of getting pretty much ignored by the Repugs over the last eight years after they've voted, to the point where they are very much ?in play? in this election, forcing McBush to try and win them over (should be fun ? part of that is due to the fact that a bit of a split is taking place between older and younger Christians, with the latter trending towards Obama, as noted here).As he attempts to do that, though, I?d be interested in hearing his explanation as to why he was apparently too busy to attend this ?faith gathering?

Bill Hall Hopes For Trade
2008-06-03 01:40:00 According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, third baseman Bill Hall would prefer to be traded. He's unhappy about losing playing time to Russell Branyan, and believes his willingness to switch positions in each of the last two seasons should've bought him more latitude. Hall, 28, is hitting .225/.295/.418 in 201 plate appearances. He's a year removed from his last .800+ OPS month. Would positional stability help Hall return to his 35 home run form? Will any team have the patience to find out? Hall earns $4.8MM this year, $6.8MM in '09, and $8.4MM in '10 (with a $9.25MM option for '11). I can't imagine much of a trade market for him given his recent hitting. Can you think of a team with a need at third or short that would make sense for Hall?

Microsoft?s Ray Ozzie Hopes to Accelerate His Company With Yahoo
2008-05-30 08:25:00 Everyone knows the drama of Microsoft and Yahoo. Or at least, most know the most recent developments, as the series' beginning at the end of January has been so long-running and drawn out that many have put the early developments out of mind. When DailyTech last reported on the ongoing drama, billionaire Icahn was preparing his board ouster with the help of potential future board member and vocal billionaire blogger Mark Cuban. Microsoft said that it didn't want Yahoo, when Yahoo expressed fresh interest, but it softened a bit and applied for FTC approval of buying a portion of Yahoo stock to help Icahn, a pro-merger enthusiast, succeed in his takeover bid.

Apple Hopes to Cash in With Ringtones, Music Downloads For iPhone
2008-05-24 16:45:00 Apple and music label have high hopes that new music offerings will yield big profits.There's some moving and shaking going on between Apple and the major music labels. Preceding the release of the new 3G iPhone, Apple is looking for new ways to cash in on its growing popularity. And music labels are hoping to get perks of their own, by haggling with Apple to loosen some of its long time policies which have irked the labels.First, Apple and the labels are in talks for possible over-the-air downloads. Previously, the iPhone could not directly download songs via its cellular broadband network. However, thanks to faster speeds from the 3G networks, it should be possible at last to download songs on the go.Standing in the way are the music labels who are arguing that Apple needs to pay a higher price for over-the-air downloads, as opposed to standard downloads. The labels current sell standard downloads wholesale for 70 cents, which Apple in turn resells on its iTunes store for 99...

YAHOO HOPES USERS WILL HELP PINPOINT PHOTOS
2008-05-14 21:33:00 BURLINGAME, Calif.--Think of it as crowdsourced cartography. In about three weeks, Yahoo plans to launch a project called Corrections in which users of the Flickr photo-sharing site can help with a thorny computing problem: providing the name of the place where a photo was taken. Flickr's geo expert, Dan Catt, speaks at Where 2.0.(Credit: Stephen Shankland/CNET News.com) Flickr has 68 million photos that have been "geotagged" with latitude and longitude coordinates, said Dan Catt, who works on geographic work at Flickr, in a speech at the Where 2.0 conference here. Coordinates are fine for computers, but human beings looking at a Web site generally prefer place names to numbers. The trouble for Flickr is that it's difficult to actually retrieve a place name for a given set of coordinates, a task called reverse geocoding. One problem, for example, is that not everyone agrees where one neighborhood ends and another begins. With the new feature, Flickr will offer its best ...
