Yahoo! buys del.icio.us

Wow. Yahoo! continues on it's shopping spree. Now they've bought social bookmark service del.icio.us. I guess I'm just glad I've already got an account with del.icio.us - otherwise I'd have to struggle through Yahoo!'s horrible sign up process... Congrats, del.icio.us!

Last thursday I got to try out the new Xbox 360 before it launched in the Netherlands. The wireless controller was nice, the graphics of both games I tried were as good as was to be expected. But sadly - no innovations in gameplay. I would've loved to see some massive online games in action. That had to wait to after the launch of course. Some more shots over at Flickr.
