Is it a coincidence that 'summer malaise' and 'too much mayonnaise' kinda rhyme?

* Google opens fee-based SMB custom search. Purty cool from the Googlers. Sign up for their new Custom Search Business Edition and you can build a customized search engine for your Web site. Microsoft should have thought of this for Office Live. (Source: PC World)

* So *this* is what Accenture's been doing. The $17 billion consulting company just released a digital Personal Performance Coach. Thing loads on a Windows Mobile smartphone and uses Bluetooth to talk you through everything from being a good conversationalist to exercising right. Just what we need--a giant corporation whispering its idea of good behavior into thousands of ears. Geez. (Source: Business 2.0)

* SMB wireless players form alliance. A group of smaller wireless players have formed the Alliance for Fair Roaming Access. This to keep the big players in line so everyone gets a fair shake with nationwide roaming. (Source: Network Computing)

* SunRocket takes a dive. Looks like VoIP service vendor, SunRocket, has shut its doors. Yet another telecomm vendor looking to survive solely on IP services--not a small one, either, ranked 4th behind guys like Vonage, Verizon & AT&T. SunRocket was the outfit that charged annually rather than monthly. Their site is still there, but they're not taking any new customers. Bad for us, good for the evil empire(s).
