* Speaking of social networks, everyone seems to think that Facebook is headed for some sort of acquisition. [Analysts at CNN][5] and elsewhere can't seem to stop repeating the apocalyptic myth of Friendster -- cash in while ye can entrepreneurs is the logic -- perhaps because the analysts still can't seem to wrap their heads around companies like Craig's List, which just don't seem interested in making billions of dollars.

* Symantec [released Norton 360][6], the company's new flagship security software, yesterday. Norton 360 combines anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall programs with backup features and "tune-up" tools for Windows. Norton 360 is $80.

* For those that never got over the brilliance of Apple's Lisa Office System, the [Lisa Emulator has been released][1], allowing you to put an archaic piece of 1983 on your modern Mac or Windows machine
