The morning Reboot has a nasty headcold, but soldiers on:
- The new version of Blogger now supports using a custom domain for serving your blog. From the Blogger Buzz announcement: “If you already own a domain named, say, mysite.com and want your blog to be served at that address instead of at a blogspot.com address, we can host your blog on that domain for you ??? for free.”
- Over at CES, Microsoft and Ford announced an in-car communication and entertainment system which will be available starting later this year. Check out the Gadget Lab blog to stay abreast of all the CES happenings.
- PC World takes one for the team. Editors at PC World signed up for 31 different online services and then tried to cancel them. They then wrote up the resulting hassles so you can avoid them.
- Yahoo is rebuilding Yahoo Messenger specifically for Windows Vista. The new software will reportedly be released as a public beta in Q2.
- And finally, my personal favorite headline of the day: “NASA found life on Mars — and killed it.”
