So I received an email inviting me to preview Crazy Egg, something I am positive I did not request to be notified of on launch, how did they get my email?

Anyways, I guess the whole point of this product is to give you a "Heat Map" of where users are clicking on a web page. Has anyone used Google analytics? They do the same exact thing, and better yet they dont slow down your website to a crawl. I'll be honest, I gave this product an honest attempt (Why dear God?) but only to be dissapointed even further. Crazy Egg in nothing but investor hyped fluff that will go absolutely no where.

My 2 Cents.

Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design helps us to understand a product.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is durable.
Good design is consequent to the last detail.
Good design is concerned with the environment.
Good design is as little design as possible.
Back to purity, back to simplicity.

A company I've never previously heard of, Moixa Energy Holdings, has announced their development of new AA USB Rechargeable batteries. Yes, I wrote that right, USB re-chargeable batteries. Batteries running low? Pop the top and plug them into your USB port for a quick recharge. USBCELL, a new category of rechargeable batteries, should add an oompf to the currently exisiting rechargeble battery market.

This is definately a battery I will be trying as soon as it becomes available.

Apparantely someone at WalMart got a little ansy about adding the Microsoft Zune to their online database. Based on some reports, for a short time yesterday, Walmart had the Zune listed at a retail value of $284.00. Question is, was this price set prior to Apple dropping the price on their 30GB iPod down to $249.00 from $299.00? Will Microsoft come in even lower for this wonderful Zune we all keep hearing about?

Walmart has a whole section dedicated to the Zune.

Only time will tell....

 

UPDATE

It's seems someone at Microsoft leaked the final price of the Zune - Drumroll please - $229.00. Apparantely they've decided to drop some pre-loaded content to make the price below that of Apple's iPod.
