This is going to be sweet - not only for battery life, but their stock in which I invested. Thanks for the news on that. I'm not so sure on the Expedia and Google merger. Seems a bit fishy for me - why would Google want to invest in travel? Perhaps they might integrate flights with their google maps, but I don't see any sense in doing so. It'd make more sense for Google to buy out all of the affiliate programs as they did with Doubleclick. I have a feeling that Google is going to push harder in the eCommerce side and try to take over sites like Amazon/Buy.com. I'm actually quite surprised that Best Buy did so well with their earnings, especially with the rising overhead costs for their B&M stores. With increased utility cost and inflation, along with sluggish sales, they're doing quite well for themselves. If only Circuit City could catch up.
