Today is the day in which the sun sits directly above the equator, to most of us (in the North Hemisphere) known as the Spring Equinox or the first day of Spring. The day equals the night. As a curiosity, today is also the first day of Autumn for Australia, and the southern parts of Africa and South America (Southern Hemisphere).

Spring

P.S. Someone received some beautiful daffodils today ;)

As probably you already are a fan of the well-known German DJ, ATB, and you live in Romania, you have 2 chances to see and hear him loud and clear :) . On March 7th 2008 he will concert in Timisoara in Heaven Studio and on 8th March (also International Women’s Day) the concert moves to Bucharest (somewhere in a club).

 

With his debut single “9 PM (Till I Come)”, ATB has became world famous. Also mentioning “Ecstacy”, “You Are Not Alone”, “Let U Go” and one of my favourites “Renegade” (see the clip below). The female voice behind ATB’s “Let U Go” is the female lead vocalist of the “Wild Strawberries”, a Canadian rock band and as for “Renegade” is Heather Nova. ATB, by his real name André Tanneberger, is a well-known remixer too, making tracks by artists such as Moby, William Orbit and A-HA fit for the dance floor.

Do you miss the weekly episode of your favourite TV series ? I know i do :) . The Writers Guild of America strike has lasted 13 weeks and 0 days, as of February 4, 2008, but some sources gossip that the end is imminent as the writers made significant progress with the negotiations. The last strike, in 1988, lasted 21 weeks and 6 days, costing the American entertainment industry an estimated $500 million ($870 million in 2007 dollars).

 

So, any minute now we should hear that the strike is over and we can prepare to see the new upcoming in our favourite TV series. Keep your fingers crossed ;) .

This could be the news of the day. Microsoft has offered no less than $44.6 billion for Yahoo!, which in the past 4 years had sliding profits because of Google’s Inc dominance over online searches and advertising markets. Even with a new management team, Yahoo!’s future in 2008 isn’t bright at all.

Yahoo! said it will “carefully and promptly” study Microsoft’s bid. While Yahoo is struggling, Microsoft is thriving and is very determined to purchase Yahoo!. This could mean a way out for Yahoo!’s drop. Or not ?
