Stocks in Napster are on the rise due to rumors that Google is interested in buying the digital music service.
Of course, this is just a rumor. Much like the Google buying Opera rumor we had a few months back… Will this happen? Only time will tell.

Napster Stocks On The Rise
Tuesday, January 31st, 2006The best gaming mouse: Logitech G5 vs. Razer Copperhead
Wednesday, January 25th, 2006I’ve always been a huge fan of the Razer mice. From the boomslang to the Copperhead, I think they’ve always created some amazing products. I’ll give credit to Logitech as well, they’ve made some amazing products over the years.
Anyway, I thought I’d share a review done by TechSpot which compared the Logitech G5 and Razer Copperhead mice. In the end, the Razer slashed the competition.
Chicken Pox Shuts Down 'My Name Is Earl'
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006The set of ‘My Name Is Earl’ has been shut down for a few weeks because the lead star, Jason Lee, has come down with a case of the chicken pox.
It’s also been announced that the show, which is great IMO, has been renewed for a second season.
Karma really is a funny thing.
Google Earth & Google Local Updated
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006Google has been on a role updating stuff, and yesterday they touched on Google Earth and Google Local. — I still think Google Maps was a better name than Google Local.
Anyway, according to the Google Blog they added extensive 6-inch imagery for many parts of the U.K., updated the Google Local database to match the coverage in Google Earth, and added two more zoom levels in Google Local’s Satellite mode.
Google News Leaves Beta
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006Google News has finally left the beta stage. Other than the removal of the “beta” tag, it doesn’t look like much else has changed this time around.
Of course, Google News has seen a large number of changes since it was first released in September 2002. But why has it taken so long to leave beta?
GMail Gets Delete Button
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006Google finally got around to adding a delete button to their free email service, GMail. Previously, users could still delete email; they just had to select the option from a dropdown menu. Wasn’t hard, but wasn’t exactly the most convenient option.
Must be big news, even the Google Blog is talking about it. 
Google Compressing Pages For Opera
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006Opera Mini Released
Tuesday, January 24th, 2006Opera Software has officially released the Opera Mini Browser, a full web browser that is capable of running on almost any mobile phone.
More information on the Opera Mini is available at http://mini.opera.com. And of course, there is the press release.
d3bruts1d.com Updated — e107 v0.7.1
Monday, January 23rd, 2006I’ve updated the CMS that powers d3bruts1d.com to the latest version. The update could have gone better, but I’ve finally gotten things under control (for the most part).
The new version allowed me to install some new things, and get rid of some of the junk I didn’t use. I’ve not had a chance to fully test everything, so let me know if you run into something that’s FUBARed.
The CMS for anyone interested, is e107. The latest version (0.7.1) was released on Jan 18.
