• I call it "pop", but "soda" is fine with me. I don't understand why anyone would call it all "coke" when it is not Coke, but here is a generic names for soft drinks by county map so at least I know what to call it to fit in.
• Nintendo Wii available November 20 for $250. Still no word on availability of the Nintendo They.
• I am liking this new iTunes 7, but more news is breaking this week about the Microsoft Zune. I don't think I'll replace my iPod anytime soon, but here are a couple stories on the Zune for you:
• Microsoft releases new details on Zune.
• Zune details and thoughts wrap-up.
• Muslims furious with the Pope. Aw, and they had been getting along so well.

• E coli outbreak in bagged spinach. Children cheer and say "told you so".
