Google to buy5% AOL stage at $1billion
Anyone need any more evidence that [[http://www.google.com||Google]] is not the “good” we have all been PR’d into thinking. They are about to make a massive investment into [[http://www.aol.com||AOL]] (Part of Time Warner). [[http://www.aol.com||AOL]] are horrible in so many ways it’s difficult to list. [[http://www.google.com||Google]] getting into bed with them is just confirmation for me that they are getting to big, know too much and we will all eventually regret giving them our “base”.
Single dominance of one company in technology is bad for business. It’s prooved time and again with Intel (pre AMD) and Microsoft [too many things to mention] (pre suits) being the big two. Allowing a single entity to steer and direct the way forward is not good and can only end in said company getting caught up in it’s own hype to the point when it all blows up and the user base suffers. Google is either going to *be* the internet or kill it.

MS Vista December CTP
[[http://www.microsoft.com||Microsoft]] are shortly to push out a new CTP (Community Technical Preview) in December of Vista. Apparently there will be an internal “full feature” version floating around Redmond (how long until it leaks?). January 2006 will see a new CTP release and some “new ” features pesented at the CES. Vista CTP builds should be a reaccuring monthly event with emphasis on beta testers to find bugs etc and not be involved so much in feature decisions.
Sounds like a good decision and will give folks a chance to play around with the O/S in a more “full” form and no doubt cause a massive amount of bugs. It’s always the way that individual programs quite often work but mix them up and things can change.
[[http://www.winsupersite.com||Paul Thurrot]] has an excellent article (as usual) on the latest developments of Vista. He’s a lucky guy.
