Your morning reboot:
* Microsoft has [announced a new suite of tools for designers][1], as well as a preview of the much touted "Flash killer," Microsoft Interactive Designer, which now goes by the name Expression Blend. Expression Blend, along with the other three programs, are intended to compete with offerings from rival Adobe. The new software will be available in the second quarter of 2007.

* According to the [Proximity website][2], Apple has [acquired the video and audio software publisher][3]. Few details are available but I would expect to see the software rolled into Apple media editing products like Aperture.

* Speaking of Apple, rumors are swirling this morning about the possibility of an [ultra-thin ultra-light MacBook Pro][4]. Pure conjecture as of yet. And to add to the Mac rumor fest [Toshiba has announced a new 100 gig 1.8 hard drive][11], can new larger iPod by far behind?

* Following the [BitTorrent company's announcement last week][5], bittorrent client [Azureus has announced version 3.0][6] and an accompanying site called [Zudeo][7]. One more small step in bittorrents struggle to legitimize itself.
