Microsoft readies IE 11 for Windows 7, too | Microsoft - CNET News

I hope Microsoft continues to make headway with their browser.  It would be nice to use only one browser but the truth is that Chrome rocks!.    It is super fast and easy to use.  I'm excited to see the progression.

Gangnam Style Is One Year Old, And Music Is Forever Different | Underwire | Wired.com

I've been big into music my whole life. I was just going through my old cassette tapes this weekend and marveling about how it did not seem too long ago that I was recording all of my friends CD's. This article talks about how much things have changed. While at first it was a scary time for the music industry and musicians now there are new doors opening for musicians. They can post a song and get lots of attention without having to have all the right political or business connections. I think that is great! This technology makes everyone step up their game. I think that is a good thing.

Best storage devices - CNET Reviews

I think this is a helpful article.  There are so many of these types of devices out there.  I've personally had great luck with Buffalo so I'm glad to see they are mentioned.  It's important to remember that these devices can fail.  So, if you can afford it and it is going to sit on your desk, buy one with a redundant drive.  If you are going portable the SSD drive is the best because it has no moving parts.  That said,  I have a Buffalo portable drive I've had for 5 years and it still works great!
