Since the changes were made, some AdWords advertisers have complained that instead of paying 5 cents, they have to bid anywhere from 10 cents to $1 or more for new keywords. In addition, they gripe that Google is not being forthcoming about its formula for determining the quality score and bids.
AMD may scores Fortune 500 laptop deal.
Quote
AMD, though, still sells few desktop and notebook chips into this market. Instead, most of the AMD-based business computers are sold in small- and medium-size business computers. The nx6125, which debuted in June, was designed as a medium-size business machine. Part of the buyer reluctance comes from the lengthy qualification and testing processes that large corporate buyers undergo when looking at new computers.
Next Gen DVD standards full on. No cooperation here.

Some electronics firms, including Paris-based Thomson, have said they would support both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats. Supporters of the Blu-ray technology include Apple Computer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Samsung Electronics.
Embryonic stem cells from skin cells. Crazy research.
Quote
Scientists have created a human embryonic stem cell from ordinary skin cells and say it is a step closer to tailored medical treatments without the technical difficulties or the controversy of using human embryos. The scientists said on Monday their technique, in which they fused embryonic stem cells to skin and bone cells, could one day provide the scientific and medical benefits of so-called therapeutic cloning.
