* Vista has arrived. Microsoft brings retail versions of its flagship products to stores today. Check out Bruce Gain's [review of Vista][1] and my own take on [Office 2007][2].

* Not sure if it's what MS has in mind for Vista's launch publicity, but Canadian hacker Alex Ionescu claims to have found a way to [circumvent the built-in DRM][4]. So far he hasn't released the code because he's worried about legal implications.

* In a move that must have been calculated to steal a bit Microsoft's thunder, Apple [released][3] new multi-colored iPod Shuffles this morning. You can now get your shuffle in pink, orange, green, blue and gray.

* In an attempt to make the possibly popular online world, Second Life, as pointlessly dull as the real world, Sweden [announced][6] it will open the first embassy inside Second Life. That does it, Second Life has official joined MySpace which means there's now two items on my list of "never have, never will."

* Google Earth has [added a layer][5] that brings the sunrise to your computer screen. The new layer include video vignettes drawn from Discovery HD Theater's "Sunrise Earth" program.
