A few days ago, I mentioned the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I received word that Boeing has pushed back the plane’s first flight from the end of the second quarter this year to some time in the fourth quarter. This will delay the plane’s delivery to airlines. It is expected to be in the 3rd quarter of 2009 instead of the first. Evidently, the delays are being caused by the reliance upon partners who have more expertise in the new technologies that are being used.

Yahoo! has been doing everything it can to dodge Microsoft over the past week. Microsoft offered to buyout Yahoo!, even though Yahoo! had not even put any feelers out as far as whether or not it should be for sale; Microsoft’s offer was completely unsolicited. It appears as though Yahoo! does not want anything to do with Microsoft because they have joined forces with Google. They have begun talks with Google regarding being bought by them instead of Microsoft. Microsoft responded last night by joining forces with NewsCorp so they could have more leverage to buyout Yahoo!

I just found out that Katie Couric is going to leave CBS, possibly after next year’s presidential inauguration. Her contract, which began in 2006, is supposed to last until 2011, but I don’t think she enjoys the job, nor do I think CBS is happy with her as the head anchor of the CBS News. Her salary is about $15 Million, which I’m sure won’t be easy to say goodbye to, but I’m sure she has enough to live on. I’m curious as to whether or not CBS will hire another woman or if they’ll have a man again. It was big news when they hired her because she was only the second female head anchor, and the first permanent female head anchor in television history for the national news on any network.
