EBay CEO Whitman to step down March 31 - Yahoo! News: "SAN FRANCISCO - Meg Whitman will soon step down as chief executive of eBay Inc., the online auction company that went from wobbly startup to multibillion-dollar household name in her 10-year tenure."
NERDBOY NOTE: NerdBoyTV loves Meg Whitman. She is a smart, savvy, and an articulate leader. She definitely spearheaded ebay's rapid rise into all our lives as THE place to shop for hard-to-find goodies. We wish her well...good luck trying to replace her, ebay ;-)

SHOW #017 - NerdBoyTV Broadcast: January 20, 2008
On this episode before the Patriots/Chargers Playoff Game, Ryan Yee shares articles on the most wired city in America, which Internet startups cashed in BIG, the top cellphones for texting, fashion PCs at last week's CES, practical uses for your cellphone camera, how online social networking is reshaping altruism, and is it worth it or a waste of time playing computer games with your kids. Okay, go Patriots!
America's Most Wired Cities - Yahoo! Real Estate: "Pop quiz: What's America's most wired city? You might guess someplace in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles or San Diego. East Coast fans might bet on New York or even Chicago. But you've got to head south. For the second year in a row, Atlanta tops Forbes.com's survey of America's most wired cities in the U.S."
BusinessWeek Technology: How 10 Internet startups cashed in big, and what their founders will do with the loot.
The Top Phones for Texting - Reviews by PC Magazine: "T-Mobile's wildly popular Sidekick defined the text-centric device category, but it's no longer the only game in town. Until recently, compulsive texters could either opt for a Sidekick in one of its numerous iterations, or go for any number of difficult-to-use smartphones—many of which were priced too dearly for the average consumer."
Fashion PCs Abound at CES 2008 : Gina Hughes : Yahoo! Tech: "Fashion PCs are all over the CES show floor. Last night I spotted the winning laptop of the 'Take Action, Make Art' global notebook design competition Chris Null mentioned a few months ago. I took a snapshot of the proud winner, 20-year-old Joao Oliveira of Porto, Portugal who created 'Asian Odyssey,' pictured here. The beautiful design won't be in retails stores until spring 2008."
Practical Uses for a Cell Phone Camera? : Robin Raskin : Yahoo! Tech: "At the risk of sounding like an aging geek, I have to think twice to remember to use my cell phone camera. Not how to use it, but how to remember to use it. The cell phone is always in my hand (it's like a reverse stress ball), but somehow lifting my phone to anything but my ear still seems a bit foreign."
Contribute's Tech 10: Reshaping altruism - Giving- msnbc.com: "Time was, the Internet just distributed information. Then it evolved into a sort of electronic connector, linking everyone in a person’s social circle. Now? Fasten your seatbelts. Think social networks, dozens or hundreds of them — yours, your best friend’s, your coworker’s, your company’s — all connected together digitally by six degrees, then organized around a single cause or idea, or a multitude of causes and ideas."
Gaming with kids: Waste of time or worth it? - On the Level- msnbc.com: "On weekends, in between the soccer games and the household chores, you can find Brian Albright and his 12 year-old-son, Caleb, playing video games together. Over the years, the two have played through “Sly Cooper,” the “Lord of the Rings” games and “Final Fantasy” on the family PlayStation 2. These days, father and son like “Star Wars Battlefront” and racing games like “Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition.”
