Technology: Will Apple Adopt Windows? John C. Dvorak of PCMag seems to think so. As Dvorak says, “This would be the most phenomenal turnabout in the history of desktop computing.”

Baby: Congratulations to the GirlTalk group and Jannelle in particular. Jannelle (daughter to C.J. and Carolyn Mahaney) gave birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday afternoon.
