Here are some things you maybe interested in, 34 Weeks Of OHA, that's a very well done and ongoing series that features a member of the Open Handset Alliance every week for 34 weeks.

Well guys, that interview with the developers of Enkin that I promised has not materialized for reasons unknown to me.

Microsoft has completed their acquisition of Danger the mobile company behind the software of the popular T-Mobile SideKick as announced by Microsoft on Tuesday.

Microsoft praised the Danger Technology

Danger's client software paired with hosted back-end services creates rich consumer experiences, Microsoft said in its statement. Combining Danger with Microsoft should help build innovative mobile experiences for consumers, Microsoft said.

Speculation about what Microsoft could accomplish when they take over Yahoo! is already flying rampant, editors are going as far as hyping up a MicroHoo! phone and the takeover isn't official yet.

ZDNet are the pnes who came up with idea, a phone that would embrace Windows Mobile, Zune, 3G, WiFi and Yahoo's! online offering would probably be a hit, but such a phone would take allot of work and money to get out of the labs to the hands of consumers.

When will it end? The WSJ confirms that a Yahoo!-AOL deal may be imminent, we maybe in for a big surprise of a Yahoo! AOL merger during the following weeks. Personally. I do not see how a merger of this caliber can keep away the Devil which is Microsoft from taking over and corrupting Yahoo!

Here are some details re Yahoo! and AOL deal:

The possible Yahoo-AOL tie-up is part of a threefold plan by Yahoo to present shareholders with an alternative to Microsoft's unsolicited offer. Yahoo would also propose repurchasing billions of dollars of its own shares and is negotiating with Google Inc. about an advertising tie-up. On Wednesday, Yahoo announced a short-term test under which it will carry search advertising from Google.

Ok, this is the third Off Topic story today but i just had to blog about this because it is very important that we all keep up with what is happening with the Microsoft bid for Yahoo.

After the Ultimatum made by Microsoft to Yahoo that they have three weeks to make a deal or they would launch a proxy fight to unseat Yahoo's board of directors, as well as take its case straight to Yahoo investors should no deal be reached in that period, Yahoo sent a letter to Microsoft disclosing allot that Yahoo will not be acquired for less than what the company is worth.

The battle between Microsoft and Yahoo has taken a nasty turn with Microsoft threating Yahoo with an Ultimatum that they have three weeks to deal or else.

What does or else mean? It means Microsoft will start a proxy fight to unseat Yahoo's board of directors, as well as take its case straight to Yahoo investors should no deal be reached in that period of time. Microsoft also threatened to lower it's bid citing how Yahoo's value will be hurt if it needs to resort to such hostile means.

Interesting story i just read, is Blogging for a living bad for Bloggers health? That question i cannot answer and will not be able to, since i just blog for the fun of things.

According to vnunet, the constant need to publish new and exciting facts is putting stress on successful bloggers, put that up with the death of three popular Bloggers from heart attack and you have a real problem in the Blogging Industry if these claims are true.

According to Cnet News, a source close to the matter says Merrill will be starting at EMI this month and the position was created specifically for him.

What can a former Google employee do in the music industry? Well EMI is struggling at the moment due to the fact they do not understand the internet and the technology that let users burn and copy music then share it around the Globe for free.
