Yahoo plans 100 more Web sites for entertainment

Yahoo said Tuesday that it planned to build individual Web sites around 100 entertainment “brands” this year that would pull together content from the company’s sprawling array of online properties.

The effort, called Brand Universe, is intended to create online destinations that will draw large audiences around individual movies, television shows, bands, celebrities, games and other types of entertainment. The Wii site, which is located at wii.yahoo.com, includes a buyer’s guide, video, content from message boards and Yahoo Answers, photos from Yahoo’s Flickr site and links to other Wii Web sites from the bookmarks service Del.icio.us.

Farewell To the Floppy Disk

Computing superstore PC World said it will no longer sell the storage devices, affectionately known as floppies, once existing stock runs out.

New storage systems, coupled with a need to store more than the 1.44 megabytes of data held by a standard floppy, have led to its demise.

Only a tiny percentage of PCs currently sold still have floppy disk drives.

“The floppy disk looks increasingly quaint and simply isn’t able to compete,” said Bryan Magrath, commercial director of PC World.

Bang & Olufsen Serene

The good: The Bang & Olufsen Serene is a beautiful and elegant phone with a truly unique design. It even has a built-in motor to assist you in opening and closing the phone.

The bad: The Bang & Olufsen Serene is not built for practicality. It requires a special screwdriver to access the battery and the SIM card, and its circular keypad takes some getting used to. The phone’s camera lens is positioned on the side of the device, making it difficult to align snapshots via the viewfinder on the display. Also, the Serene is extremely cost-prohibitive.

The bottom line: The Bang & Olufsen Serene is a showpiece of a cell phone with a design unlike any other. Unfortunately, form does not meet function, and the Serene is more suited to be showcased in a museum rather than carried around in your pocket.[ Link ]
