Yahoo Farechase
Here's another slick Ajax application from Yahoo. It's their FareChase service that searchs half a dozen sites for the lowest fares. Everything happens as you watch, from gathering results to instantly viewing changes to your search.
It was designed to save you both time and money by providing you with comparison shopping options from travel providers and other popular travel websites. When you're ready to book, Yahoo! FareChase displays the travel provider's website so you can make your purchase directly on the travel provider's site.

Microsoft Vista
There's a link floating around the office with screenshots of the upcoming Microsoft Vista operating system. The desktop reminds me a lot of OS X. The IE browser feels very firefox like. It comes complete with tabs and an embedded RSS reader. Follow the link below for more images.

The Rise & Rise of Flash Video
Here's a link to a Flash 8 music video for the Dutch comedy 'Het Schnitzelparadijs'. Featuring Willie Wartaal, Spacekees, Darryl, Heist-Rockah, The Opposites & Art Officials.
The content of the video is so-so, but the clarity of the video is top-notch, great compression and display.
