Its official - Feedburner just got Googled. Read about it on Burning Questions - CEO Dick Costolo’s blog as well; Techcrunch estimates the deal to be worth around $100 million.

This is a good move. Feedburner is a great service and with enough traction in the business, so only good things can come from this. Better marketing campaigns management with RSS feeds, more control to the bloggers. What more could we want, right?

Go Go Google!

I have used VMWare a bunch of times with Linux and found it to be too much of a burden to give up dual booting. I just found out about Parallels Desktop 3.0 and its what I wish I had years ago. Now with OSX ported to run on Intel chips, this is the cherry on top. This would be a real killer deal if Apple shipped this stock instead of Bootcamp. And even in their new Apple Outlet machines. Better late than never!

Highlights:

• Cross OS File & App Integration (part of SmartSelect)
• Shared Folders (Coherence 2.0)
• OpenGL & DirectX Support (run Quake 4 if you want/can)

Om Malik has a very interesting post over at GigaOm regarding the Last.fm acquisition by the old media behemoth - CBS:

 It is a community of like-minded (or same taste) music lovers that continues to grow. To distort a cliché, let a billion radio stations boom. CBS could start making money with the obvious business of selling music, but the real thrill would be if CBS takes this (to use another cliché) wisdom of crowds, and turned it into a tool for programming its on-the-air play lists.

I saw this on SolSie - Lighter Side of Technology. Lindseystomp put up a video of her jamming on her electronic violin with the Black Eyed Peas. Its pretty awesome, this violinist has some serious talent.
