CTRL-C and CTRL-V have been around for a long time now - years in fact - and I believe that people have become accustomed to being able to take a piece of information that they’ve already entered and put it somewhere else without having to re-enter text.  From an input tool like that of the iPhone, this is a no-brainer, and I can’t believe that it’s not there already.  Hopefully the rumors will come true and Apple iPhone users will be copying and pasting happily sometime in the near future.

For those of you that remember, the Sega Dreamcast was one of the best, highest quality video consoles ever made.  Unfortunately, like so many other good technologies it failed and left the market very quickly.  A rumor recently surfaced that there might be a Dreamcast 2 on the horizon and today there’s another rumor that there will not be a Dreamcast 2.  My feeling - never gonna happen.  Good and bad for the consumer, but the world just doesn’t need another console right now.

In 1984, CompUSA opened it’s doors and consumers and businesses stormed them to take advantage of value, knowledge and selection.  In recent years, it seems that the company lost it’s edge and quickly lost consumer marketshare to companies like Best Buy and Fry’s Electronics and business marketshare to companies like CDW and Dell.  In February of 2007, they shuttered 126 stores, including a handful in the Silicon Valley.  If a computer store can’t make it here…?

Therein lies the rumor - will CompUSA be closing the rest of their stores and logging out of the marketplace?  I suspect yes, but only time will tell.
