Rim trying to reinvent the wheel??

RIM, the makers of the ever so popular blackberry and the choice to most hustle and bustle business minds have took to viral to present a futuristic spin on how the world will benefit from their product in the years to come. Sure the video is contagious amongst the IP world, however with Microsoft's already public viral of the same entitiy released earlier in the week, it totes the question of originality on the part of RIM. However similar these videos are, at the very least they are amusing. Both videos show see through countertops, refrigerators, cell phones and holographic images. If this is what the future brings its a bit scary. We have relied for years on technology and with its increasing demand, the more it evolves. Although it is helpful it seems like to me the governments way of keeping tabs on us and controlling our lives. What's next, our spouses committing infidelity with a technological figment of a man?? I'm just saying. Check the vitals in YouTube.

Google looking to jump into cable tv market

Google is pondering the possiblities of taking on the likes of all major cable providers in the near future. The search engine giant is associated with everything from our computers, to cell phones, to tablets and now maybe to tv. Once they delve deep enough into the pool and learn the currents of the water they'll be breast stroking in a sea of water controlled by them. This is the perfect market for a company like them. This would be another way to barricade the corporate monopoly Apple is piggy backing. Let's face it. We've come to learn and love and more times then not rely on Google to give us the world on a rectangular screen so why not our living room big screens?? We'll see what this may bring but I am optimistic that even if it is not the superior service, it will probably result in better deals from your current provider in the midst of a bidding war.

Costco Wholesale cashing in on GM!!!

For those who don't know, Costco has offered preferred rates on all makes and models through its Auto Buying Program for years now. Recently they took one step further in partnering with GM to offer near employee discounts on GM vehicles. Now through January 3rd you'll also get a $500 cash card just for your purchase. Pardon my bias but that's a pretty good deal but working for the chain and knowing business, nothing is free. That $500 is worked into the price somewhere. If you really want to snag a great deal, try to negotiate $500 lower than their offering and then maybe it'll pay off. It it were I, I would even try $1,000 lower just in case they anticipate people doing this once the news breaks.

Big Baby has a Growing frustration

Looks like Glen "Big Baby" Davis is taking to Twitter to voice how frustration with his committee and the CBA stating, "Take the 51% man and let's play!!!" This was surely a tantalizing site for NBA owners and staff.  However Davis isn't the only one with ill feelings toward the NBPA and their president Derek Fischer. He is joined by NBA vet Jerry Stackhouse who voiced his aggrevation to sources claiming that Ficher is mis handling the negotiations. Looks like there's trouble in the office. Somebody better come to a deal quickly before EVERYBODY is out of a job.
