It looks like Microsoft has officially agreed to purchase all of Yahoo’s search engines therefore making it official: Yahoo is no more. Why did it happen? Well, according to the Moxie Mo’s sources, a lot of it had to do with Yahoo’s continuing decline as well as Microsoft’s ever-so-popular new search engine, Bing.com. So what does this mean? Microsoft vs Google, yet again.
Also, in more serious news, a hacking expert declared in all the major news outlets and blogs today that he will announce this Thursday a hack that will affect any and all iPhones just by sending a one character SMS text to a user’s phone. This hack will take complete control over your iPhone and then spread the hack to all of your phone contacts. The Moxie Mo tells you the latest and greatest news and what you can do to stop it if it happens to you on Thursday or after.
Finally, Kodak just launched their updated their pocket camcorder with the new Kodak Zi8 – it not only shoots in full 1080p (the highest and best HD resolution for any camera on the market), it also has a ton of features that we think are quite moxie. The question must be asked though – do you spend the same amount of money on this beautiful gadget or just get an iPhone 3GS that shoots 700p HD video? Hmmm.

I’m not sure if I’m right no this, but isn’t Bing on Yahoo, a lot like when Yahoo was using Google for search?

Glad Apple jumped on the 3.0.1 update fast. Seemed to get people panicking a bit. On the subject of pocket cams. The Zi8 looks pretty sweet. Although I’m intrigued by the iPhone 3GS so much more. The Zgrip for iPhone opens a new world of possibility. Goes for both the Junior and Pro versions. http://www.zacuto.com/zgrip-iphone-pro
