This is the Tech Rewind for third week of September, 2007.

Halo Halo Everywhere:

I am sure that I'm not the only one that has seen Halo 3 advertisements everywhere. In case you did not know: Halo 3 is being released on September 25th.

The hype surrounding Halo 3 is just downright frightening it seems. Will lines form outside stores by customers who can't wait the next day? Will people start killing each other over a game? It is all possible. One thing is for sure, Halo 3 is coming, and no one is going to stop it. I sure hope Microsoft's Xbox Live servers will be able to handle the load from all the Halo 3 online game.

It appears that Orgoo will finally come out of private beta:

The Gmail competitor, Orgoo, is going to finally come out of the shell that the company has been hiding under. The Orgoo development team has undoubtedly been testing and improving the product for release. The company had a great amount of buzz surrounding it a few months ago when the blogosphere got information about the company.

Keep a lookout here on Tech In Demand for a future review of Orgoo to see if it really gives Gmail a run for its money.

Mozy has been acquired:

Mozy, a service I have currently been evaluating for awhile for a future article, has been acquired. It is actually shocking, and not because they were acquired, but because it took this long for them to be acquired. EMC Corporation has snatched up Mozy for $76 million.

The service will likely be under close observation by their users to see if EMC Corporation makes any changes to the Mozy service. The online backup industry is trending up as the need for backing up data is more essential then ever.

MozyHome Unlimited is $4.95 per month. You can also utilize the free service with a 2 GB upload limit.

Digg has gone the way of Facebook:

Ah yes, Digg is doing some strange things lately. Many of the recent improvements to Digg as of late have been welcomed by much of the Digg community. The most recent addition to almost act as a MySpace or Facebook, might not be the best one to date.

Digg is a great resource to finding information that a general audience cares about. Why navigate away from this idea? I thought these features would have been more useful in Pownce.

I for one hope that Digg does not try to accomplish too much at once. Maybe the Digg team is afraid they are falling behind? Digg is a good system, and they should be focusing on improving the quality of content that is displayed on their site, instead of trying to build a social network from it.

Speaking of Digg, Tech In Demand got both Dugg and "StumbledUpon":

Most of you who are reading this article right (all 15,000+ of you) now have likely arrived here from Digg or StumbleUpon. I welcome you. I was not expecting such a surge in traffic so soon as I have been attempting to slowly build up Tech In Demand. No worries though, because Tech In Demand is prepared for rapid growth. I gladly welcome all of you, and I extend my invitation for you to interact with me on this site. Here is a little background information about Tech In Demand and myself, James Mowery.

I started Tech In Demand after writing for Mashable for only a short while. I left because I believed (and still do believe) that I could write articles that would appeal to an audience of people who enjoy technology.

This blog is about technology. It is not focused or limited to one specific topic, e.g. "web 2.0". This blog is a source that covers technology that is in demand. The tech industry is expanding rapidly and experiencing growth. These are great times for tech fanatics everywhere.

I for one have been following tech trends for many years now, and it has always been my dream to write about technology. What you are reading now is my dream becoming a reality. My inspiration was certainly The Screen Savers, an old show on TechTV that discussed all things technology; some of you might have had the pleasure of viewing that show. I did not create Tech In Demand to sound like a know it all. I created Tech In Demand to try and connect with a community of readers who enjoy technology just as much as I do.

The Rest:

I apologize if anyone has received a weird message in their RSS readers from Tech In Demand's feed. Windows Live Writer needed an update to Tech In Demand's site template. Please disregard it.

If you enjoy technology, please feel free to subscribe to Tech In Demand's RSS Feed. You will not be disappointed, especially with the great content that is coming this week. Keep a lookout for some very exciting articles coming soon. There is technology to be explored, and it's all here at Tech In Demand.
