- global semiconductor sales for automotive applications expected to reach $15 billion next year. They might want to start working on the reliability as a next step...
- 70% of all automotive warranty claims are believed to be electronics problems... and M$oft isn't even a big supplier in autos yet.
- and the 802.11 working group is set to unleash the 802.11p specification for "wireless networking for the vehicular environment" just to make things more complex interesting
- Scoble writes about corporate blogging. Much linked to, as expected, and far too much commentary for me believe that I could add anything useful to the conversation.
- Google documents on advertiser forecasts leaked to the Chronicle. Earnings for GOOG are tomorrow? Analyst estimates are .54 cents a share.

- FASB delayed for 6 months the implementation of stock option expensing.
