It has been an interesting year for the tech industry. Google has finally released its first operating system; for mobile phone. Apple is going full speed ahead with the iPhone 3G, and the rest of industry trying to match it up. Microsoft is finally responding to Apple&#8217;s &#8220;Get A Mac&#8221; ads, by admitting that all that Apple has been poking fun at are true. Yahoo! is looking down a barrel of a gun playing Russian Roullette, &#8220;Buy me still, buy me not.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see what else went on in 2008 so far. Obama successfully utilized the Technology (read: Internet) in the Presidential Campaign. The Stock Market took a nose-dive. Metallica released &#8220;Death Magnetic&#8221; in September. Axl&#8217;s Guns N&#8217; Roses &#8220;Chinese Democracy&#8221; is actually released. Wall-E is AWESOME! BlackBerry Storm is unlike any other BlackBerries, it is more iPhone-like with a twist. AVCHD camcorders are gaining ground. Apple ditched FireWire on its new Unibody Aluminum MacBook. Futurama goes High-Def with &#8220;Bender&#8217;s Game&#8221; Blu-Ray.</p>
<p>OK, I&#8217;ll add whatever above later.</p>
<p>The point is that that December is usually a slow month for Technology. So I&#8217;m focusing on some other things such as the Holiday and Comedy.</p>
<p>The three comedians I&#8217;m working with will be having some big shows in December.</p>
