Following the Purse Strings - Who's paying for Twitter and why?

- Twitter receives $55 million Huh?
Mike is pretty sure that the thing that got blogs popular was the fact that everyone in silicon valley was out of work, and they had nothing better to do than write and read what others are writing. Is twitter going to get the same thing?

The post linked above goes on to say that Twitter's audience is what justifies the money, well how does that explain Yahoo?

Combatting Piracy - Valve gets it
Valve understands that to effectively combat piracy, you need to give people what they want at a fair price. They recently decreased L4D 75%, and they made 15% more than when the game launched. - http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090219/1124433835.shtml

How to get rid of the Mobile Me Preferences Control Panel Applet

image

I posted about Apple sneaking Mobile Me onto Windows computers in with an iTunes update. Well here's how to get rid of the applet in Windows.

<!--extended-->

Note: Although the item we’re uninstalling is called “Apple Mobile Device Support”, it’s only used for iPhones and the iPod Touch. If you have a regular iPod, then all of the drivers are already in Windows. This will not hurt your standard iPod.

Mike's picture

Wait a minute, I didn't install MobilMe!

image

Sorry folks, I’m a little slow on this one. I meant to post about it before, but haven’t had the chance.

How many of you like having software installed when you didn’t ask for it? I hope none of you raised your hands.
