| Teaming Up on the Google Goliath
There's no point in leaving something up to chance. eBay's (Nasdaq: EBAY) PayPal has survived the initial threat from Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) nascent electronic-payment platform, but it wants to make sure that things stay that way. The world's leading online marketplace announced last week that it will team up with Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) in a deal to promote PayPal as well as Yahoo!'s paid-search product. The Yahoo! PayPal Checkout Program dangles some pretty tasty bait. Websites that offer online transactions can get $100 credit on Yahoo!'s sponsored search service and also score free PayPal processing through the end of the year. Participants will also have a blue shopping-cart icon appear on the text ads, so that the ads will stand out even better against the competition.

Back up your files online Docs and spreadsheets
A host of new sites are eager to challenge Microsoft for a slice of Office's huge pie. My two favourites are Zoho's suite for documents and Google's Docs & Spreadsheets for spreadsheets. Both free services include storage space for your files (Zoho offers 1GB; Google limits the number and size of documents and spreadsheets you can store). Anything you create is autosaved to an online server, providing a de facto backup. You'll also be able to access all of your documents from any browser, without having to install software first. Like many other advanced websites, Zoho and Google use Asynchronous JavaScript and XML--or Ajax--to present a desktop-app-like feel. Both offer hot-keys for common features, background autosaves, and other must-haves. Neither comes close to replacing Office if you need its full spread of features, and you may encounter an annoying though not game-stopping bug here and there in relatively new services.

Finding Your Muse in the Cookie Aisle
The arrival of Daylight Savings Time three weeks early this year heralds the approach of a long stretch of summer for you to finally get cracking on that Great American Novel youve always been wanting to write. Theres only one obstacle: Where to find a fresh story to whet the appetite of prospective publishers and appease readers who are hungry for a plot they can really sink their teeth into. If youre gleaning a slick segue here to the topic of food, its a theme that figures prominently in Where the Plots Are, my current work-in-progress which affirms the fact that extraordinary muses tend to lurk in some of lifes most ordinary settings. Supermarkets, for instance. In a recent screenwriting workshop, I sent my students around the corner to a local grocery store with the instructions to generate a story concept based on what they noticed in the aisles, at the checkstands, and out in the parking lot.
Vakaadoo iVak N-type 2 Case for iPod nano (Second-Generation)
Pros: An easy to use case, priced reasonably, with a variety of color options. Comes with lots of extras, including a lanyard necklace, a keychain clip and a cord manager. Soft texture is unique to the iVak series. Cons: Lower level of protectiveness than previous generations. Company's web site remains problematic many months after initial user complaints. Not an aggressive deal relative to top competitors. .
