*	The new version of Blogger now supports using a custom domain for serving your blog. From the Blogger Buzz [announcement][1]: "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][2] which will be available starting later this year. Check out the [Gadget Lab][3] 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][4] so you can avoid them.

*	Yahoo is [rebuilding Yahoo Messenger][5] specifically for Windows Vista. The new software will reportedly be released as a public beta in Q2.
