| MaximumASP Development Team Highlighted in Microsoft's Heroes Happen ...
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - (Business Wire) MaximumASP, a Microsoft Gold Certified Provider of web hosting and managed IT services, is featured in the Microsoft Heroes Happen Here Portrait Book for their significant impact in bringing new technologies to market. "MaximumASP's participation in the 2008 Global Launch Wave is another example of our tight knit relationship with Microsoft," said Chris Morrow, CIO at MaximumASP. "As with previous Microsoft web-related technologies, we will continue to be early adopters, whether that is testing and offering a new product like IIS 7 or SQL Server 2008 in its beta stage, or helping launch a new product to the public as we are now doing with Windows Server 2008." MaximumASP has immediate availability of all four of the new Windows Server 2008 Editions as options in its dedicated server product line-up.
Microsoft Finally Makes Its Move on Yahoo
If it goes through, we suddenly have a two-horse race on the Net, with Microsoft-Yahoo the one force with a chance to slow down search giant Google. But what a messy combination this will be, for months and even years to come. Maybe Yahoo is just too compelling a property for Microsoft, perennially struggling to stem the Google tide, to pass up. Clearly, Yahoo hasn't managed to get its act together fast enough. But neither has Microsoft—even less so vs. Google than Yahoo. And putting together two huge organizations like this is going to slow both down for a long time, while the Google juggernaut merrily barrels down the road, more focused than its competitor. What's more, big tech mergers often don't work. Even less often do hostile takeovers work. Put them together, and the results won't be pretty.

In the first flush of her California victory, it seemed Clinton had a clear path to the nomination. But the picture looks different on closer examination a day later. While she was winning the dwellings of America's elite, Obama was sweeping everyplace else - Utah, Idaho, Minnesota, Illinois, North Dakota, Kansas and Colorado, many of them states with virtually no black population. And his success in Missouri, Alabama and Georgia show that he continues to dominate Southern states with their large minority populations. Why is Clinton doing so poorly in the heartland? There, away from the liberal media and establishment bias and from the coastal immigrant and Latino concentrations, she seems at a loss. Aside from her core white-women constituency, these voters are really supporting the memory of Bill's presidency more than the prospect of a Hillary administration.

Fans flock to Nails site for freebie downloads
Rock band Nine Inch Nails are struggling to keep their website online after releasing their latest album as a partly free download. Frontman Trent Reznor ditched the band's record label last year after publicly berating it over the price charged for its albums. Now a "free agent", Nine Inch Nails are offering their latest four-volume album, Ghosts I-IV, to fans directly via their website and through BitTorrent file sharing networks. The instrumental album has been put out under a Creative Commons licence, so people are free to share and remix it for non-commercial uses. In October last year, British rock group Radiohead ditched their record label, EMI, in order to release their new album, In Rainbows, as a download on their website.
Barnsley 0-0 Chelsea
He still manages to get in a shot which Cudicini does well to block with his legs. This is good stuff from Barnsley. 43 min: A really strange match, this. Long periods of absolutely bugger all to report, then the odd burst of hectic activity. Of which this isn't one. Still, it's better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Chewing tin foil while being shot in the face would be better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Here, in the absence of fun, allow us to SEXX YA UP. "Short shorts are essential apparel for 2008," pants Russell Child. "Gone are the days of Peter Beardsley, Kevin Keegan and Joe Jordan. Football players are much more attractive now. Let Fernando Torres and Ronaldo lead the way." Not everyone, however, is in the mood to see football's sexface. "Can you please stop eroticising Joe Cole," pleads Julian Menz.
