I'm buying a DROID. You'll get updates as they happen. The good, the bad, it'll all be here for you to see. I hope it's as good as all the hype.

Will it be the phone of my dreams?

Wall Street Journal computer guru Walt Mossberg has released his annual Fall Computer Buying Guide.

Mossberg says:

"Consumers shopping for new computers this fall have a wide variety of choices with the new operating systems pre-installed, making the machines faster and better. Windows PCs are no longer burdened with the disliked Vista OS".

"That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Windows hardware makers and retailers generally are trying to nudge you to spend more. They are anxious to guide consumers away from the popular, but low-profit, stripped-down netbooks to somewhat larger Windows 7 laptops from which they can make more money. This larger-size category goes by a variety of names, which can be confusing".

Why won't my Outlook close? CLOSE dang it.

Click It.. [X] .. CLICK... CLICK IT....CLICK IT. I get so tired of this, why can't I just close my program and be done with it? What the heck is holding things up?

AARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Replay now available of today's Microsoft's Windows 7 Launch Event in New York City. Coverage provided by our good friend Bill Pytlovany - LIVE on the scene, with additional commentary by PC Pitstop's Pit Crew.

The Lords and Ladies of Reuters ponder whether the popularity of Windows 7 will do more than cause a small ripple in Mac market share. It seems I was asking myself the same question just last Tuesday. I'm not sure I gave Apple Mac as much credit for being number 2 as the folks from the Jolly Kingdom. I'm thinking it will cause a significant slow down for Apple's rising figures.

The October 22nd, WINDOWS 7, release date has come and gone. Now a lot of us are getting ready to purchase and install the latest operating system from Microsoft.

So name your poison. Do you want the old tired and slow 32 bit or the Brand New, SUPER FAST, Cutting Edge, 64 Bit Version? Don't want to be pushy, it's up to you.

Windows 7 is going to be the biggest product launch since Gillette Foamy and Aunt Jemima pancakes. Check inside to find everything you need to get you up and running. All of our Links and HOW TO's in one place.

*Update: Maximum PC is reporting that Microsoft has pulled out of the Family Guy sponsorship deal.

The folks at ARS have unearthed this short clip, originally posted on the Microsoft driven win741.com, of a Windows 7 'infomercial' starring Family Guy characters Stewie and Brian. Dubbed "Family Guy Presents: Seth (Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy Creator) & Alex's (Alex Borstein, MacFarlane's Family Guy Co Star) Almost Live Comedy Show" -- the infomercial is scheduled to air (with no 'commercial interuptions') on Sunday November 8 at 8:30 EST.

The growing use and importance of smartphones, instant messaging, text messaging and social networking - is signaling the end of the email era or at the least marking a major shift in personal commuincations.

Jessica E Vascellaro over at the Wall Street Journal has a great post today about the changes in the way we are communicating with each other.
