I’m noticing most of the rumors credit the same source and all look the same. It just takes one rumor… So let’s think about this. The [...]

Many of us dream of going big. It was just announced that Oracle is buying Sun for $7.4 billion. Gee, wouldn’t it be nice to sell off your company for a few BILLION dollars?

April 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Business, Deals, Gadgets, Hardware, Technology, Wireless, mobile phones, smartphones
Recently a friend posted a link to a video of one of the new Sprint commercials to our little newsgroup. This of course put me on a quick little rant of all things groovy about Sprint. This then led to someone commenting “…you went there. We won’t be able to get him to shut up [...]

Rumor has it that Barnes & Noble is working with Sprint Nextel and an unnamed device maker to offer eBook services similar to the Amazon Kindle. Hm…interesting.
