techFive - Five Tech Stories (12.15.06)

Another week gone by and still no new server. It does seem to be quite a bit faster today, but having been spoiled for so long, it’s tough to handle this normal service.

Yahoo! - From their Battle over the net victory to the release of Video 3.0 from Yahoo! Music and finishing off with their Talent Show, it’s been a better week for Yahoo! sans peanut butter - there’s even this bold prediction from Paul Kedrosky.

Bebo Widgets - The site is often touted as a major competitor of MySpace. 100,000 widgets in 12 hours suggests that might be a reasonable statement.

StumbleVideo - Being a former Canadian company, this might be making the cut for the wrong reasons, but none-the-less, it’s a techFiver this week.

iPhone - What more is there to say? Well, there probably is more, so check this post by Om, too.

Microsoft - The Zune is struggling and Vista isn’t compatible with MS SQL Server, but I’ve been assured by my boss after a day-long conference about microsoftables that there are good things with their newest releases.

Honourable mention this week goes to Google. They lost the Battle of the Net and are predicted to be out-performed by Yahoo!, but they released a patent search.
